Sounds like he hangs out on that 'other' web forum or doesn't 'get' the Cayman, but that's ok...
What a schmootz/fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/confused_smile.gif
Still it is always a pleasure to see a Cayman move about even when the commentary isn't stellar.

I can't believe this guy gets paid to test drive and review cars. I'm glad I don't have to base any decisions on his reports. Either he spent zero time doing his homework on the
Cayman S
or he is one of those that is bent out of shape about the threat this car may be imposing on the 911 mystique.
Assuming that he has read at least one other review of the many done by proffesional drivers and industry evaluators, he writes off everything that has been reported to date, and sees only a Boxter with a hardtop and a slight increase in horsepower. He is either a genius, or a totally uninformed and near sighted amature, or is publishing a report with a hidden agenda./fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wall.gif
No hidden agenda. I am australian and I have seen his reports over the course of a year or so on many cars www drive.com.au and i hardly ever see him excited about anything. A new people mover would stir his loins more than say an e55AMG which he would probably focus in on fuel economy again missing the point entirely. Bottom line...his report on cayman not out of line with his typical boring and non emotive journalism..
Hey mate, er... I mean Phillip, /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/beer2.gif
I've been to several cities in Australia and I gotta tell you I love your Country. I just wish Florida was not so far away so I could visit more often.
Thanks for giving us the straight dope on this dope./fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thanks.gif
I had never met anyone 'boring' in Australia before, so I thought everyone was the fun loving enthusiastic types you usually run in to when your down under. G'day! /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/wink_smile.gif
Dude, not all Australians are sun kissing fun loving sort. I can show you the board members at my company and you will get the picture.
Mind you, one of them drives a 911TT so he can't be that bad.
Way,
I guess that Australia to me, as a visitor, has always had the 'magic' that only a visitor can maintain. Sort of like Disneyland. I guess when you live there it's a lot different. Illusions are sometimes worth preserving, but hard to maintain when you spend a lot of time someplace. In my case, I will choose to think of your land as a very special place, as long as I don't run into too many experiences like this bloke's auto review. /fckeditor/editor/images/smiley/MWPX/thumbsup.gif
I would guess that Australia would be a great place to drive a Porsche. All that room!
BTW - regards the video.You have to wonder about the technical credits of a team that films a picture of the
Sport Chrono
clock while the voice-over is talking about the tachometer!
