+1 I agree...the emblem isn't that strong and only held by a couple of small posts.

I use my knee on the front of the hood. It's easy to do, you can do it when your hands are full, and it doesn't leave a palm print. Luckily my clothes are clean so they don't scratch the paint.

I've always felt that finding an appropriately hot blond to close the hood with her chest to be far more entertaining.

After all, who's to say that Porsche engineers got the two handed "push" method right.

It's actually a soft spot directly under the emblem. The area immediately in front of the emblem is more solid
(I need to look, probably there is framework underneath that spot)
and that's where I push with my palm.

I push in the same place... single hand on the firm area in forward of the emblem.
