I don't mind hearing him call it "cute," but then I am a girl.

You know, I watched the video and thought he did an excellent job overall. Give him a German accent and I'd swear he was a Porsche factory representative!

My only beef was that he said that Porsche "stuffed" the 3.4 from the Cayman S in the new Boxster S... everyone knows there's no stuffing involved as the cars are virtually identical sans the hard top. But it makes for a good car review I guess.

And one last comment... he seems like a sensitive soul, but didn't strike me as light in the loafers... just Canadian (and I do not mean that in a mean-spirited way... he just doesn't have the farmer-bred, Southern drawl I'm used to hearing around here).

Most of the Canadians who come to my area are from Quebec area. I call them tadpoles - baby frogs.

I think the energy spent on this issue is much to do about nothing. I don't give a darn, being politically correct, others opinion of the car! All I care about is numero UNO "me". All other opinions will be filed in the appropriate files, lol. I did like the Boxster showing its prowess. Be happy with you have and let the naysayers drown in their envy.
