3. "...the (Honda's) wheels seem pretty drab in comparrison."
4. "...(the Porsche) is the better of these two cars."
5. "Moderate construction quality."

I did notice that the S2000 seemed to get more camera time, however. That could have just been ME tho.
(s/b posting a copy of it online soon...)

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

Yep, that about sums it up. How many times have you watched this? I don't think that I want to watch it again.
I think I'm going to search for a Boxter S for dinner tonight and send Motorvision my video comparo!

Does it suck? Biased reporting? Either way, you decide:
http://1101.ca/S2K/MotorVision_S2K_vs_Boxs...ps_352x240).avi
352x240, 38MB, encoded to DivX/MPEG4 @ 600kbps video, 32kbps mp3 audio
You'll need the DivX-MPEG4 codec (http://www.divx.com -- look under Software/Codecs) installed to play in Windows Media player.
TIP: For best performance, right-click the link, choose 'Save As' and watch it from your own hard-drive when it has finished downloading.
(I'll leave this up until someone volunteers to host it permanently)

Only watched it twice Joe, just took notes the second time 
. There were some parts of the comparo that were spot-on, unfortunately, they were the parts that I personally care less about (Could give a s**t less about the name "Porsche", could do without the extra luxury, could do without the extra price, etc...), the only thing that was shown (in my eyes) to be so true was the top boot problem, the Porsche just has us beat in that catagory in every way, hands down. However, the performance advantage is clearly Honda's, and to not see that is is to confirm that someone was looking through "Porsche" colored glasses.

(its a common codec now, and thanks to it, the video is about half the size it would have been with the next best compression method, and much higher quality)
