With that being said, Porsche isn't likely to build a truly crap car so its easy to find good things to write about, but very, very rarely (never say never, but its almost never) will an automotive writer publish a negative appraisal of a new car when their ability to earn a living depends on manufacturer's giving them access to their new cars. Burn those bridges and a writer is effectively out of a job - which is simply not going to happen.
Almost everything that he says in the video was written by Porsche and provided in the press kit. All he does is recite it.
And I had to laugh when he said that he "ordered up the loaded model for testing"!! Hah. As if. He tested the same model as all of the other journalists who were invited to the event.
Sorry to sound so negative, but if you saw how these "test events" are conducted you'd walk away dismayed and never watch another one.

An automotive journalist's vulnerability to being "cutoff" is mostly tied to his readership exposure & accuracy of content. Jeremy Clarkson was virtually immune, now not so much.
I picked up a Aston Martin from Matt Farah friday, he had some criticism for it. He had just bought a Focus RS.
