hmm 10k? yeah.. sure... it's a decent review except for the S2000 not a good daily and "moderate" construction. But it's not bad company like someone said.

Shing, I'm surprised at you..."decent review" is no where near what that was. I'm also surprised that they even got the name right, they botched every other thing in the review. I used to enjoy those comparos, now I clearly see they're a waste of my time.

All I noticed was them bashing on the S2000. They didn't even say which was the better car. I guess they didn't need to.

Real weak attempt. I can't believe they said redlines at 10k RPMs. Do they even pay any attention at all to the cars?

It looks like they didn't know about the secret compartment or didn't want to divulge it although my guess is they didn't know about it.

Also I find it funny that they gave 1/4 mile stats for the Porsche and top speed but not on the S2000.

Where and when was this taped? I can't help but notice the snow and ice on the roads.

That was a waste of time.

It would be nice if they said the stook was made of modern construction and then give a example or why they believe it to be moderate. I guess it was just easier to write the word moderate in.

Sounds to me like they were getting desparate on the comparisons.

Let me count the ways...I HATED THAT COMPARO!

1. No performance # for the S2000, hence the line... "The Honda's performance is only slightly below that of the Porsche."

2. "The Honda redlines at 10,000 rpm."

3. "...the (Honda's) wheels seem pretty drab in comparrison."

4. "...(the Porsche) is the better of these two cars."

5. "Moderate construction quality."

What did I expect after they couldn't find the secret compartment?

I'm surprised they even bothered to put that on the air, all they ever test is German cars on that show. I think this is going to be on next week
