Unwatchable if you disagree with him

Here is his latest.... says 1,800 911s have been delivered this year. Scary.

So every GTS "order" is a phantom order?

Nick Murray already trashed it if you want to see it on YouTube. Huge shock

Just because Nick trashed it, doesn't make it "trash". With the ability to order buckets, and rear seat delete, I see it as an viable alternative to a "Touring", especially if you can't get an allocation, but can make it perform at Turbo S levels, for relatively modest $ increase. As always, YMMV.

Trashed a car he hasn't seen let alone driven.

Let's see what the real reviewers have to say.

One of my favorite Youtube car reviewers is Savagegeese.

They've already reviewed several Porsche products, but they aren't as mainstream as Chris Harris with Top Gear and probably don't have the same level of access.

But if they ever do get into a 992 GTS and have a chance to review it, I would be very interested..

Nick's video simply points out that he thinks Porsche could have done more and that they sort of took the easy route here (you can agree/disagree, no problems, he always makes it clear that it is his opinion). He also is quick to admit when he is wrong.

But the simple fact is, his overview videos on all the 992 options are awesome. Once again, you may not agree, but he goes into some great detail on them and I for one am thrilled - because a) I doubt I would have found the deviated seat option (he was correct, most people skip right over it) and b) I would not have gotten the puddle lights (I love those).

Agreed; I like how they get the cars up on a lift and go through the layout.

looked up savagegeese on tupper and aggie57's reco. watched this video -
. i agree with him on electronic door handles. that's about it. the rest sounds like my grandfather (rip) bitching about tech advancements. maybe the wrong video to introduce myself to the savage goose. i'll give him another shot.

figure out, i can't, like yoda, why you speak. lol.

watched another one. two dudes driving the 718 boxter. one of them wondering who can afford the car, the other gushing about everything porsche. what i like least about the savage goose is the lengthy, dramatic cut scenes with the atmospheric music. give me a break. i'm watching at 1.25, and it's *still* unbearably slow.

Always wondered why he seemed so upset in some of his early vids...more recent vid, he mentioned a bit about some conflict between he and his girl/wife that wasn't going well. So it could have been some after effect...was clearly coming through on camera. That said, I can understand.

just watched the gv70 review. they are completely dumbfounded as to why anyone would buy the x3m (bmw). this entire segment confounds their sensibility. these guys are kind of horrible. consider broadening your perspective. sorry to belabor this. but the savage goose sucks.
