He might be. I've seen other reviews of his; and I agree that while he's got an excellent track record, the last few reviews I've seen of his weren't anything to boast about.

Guess I Might be a little too critical. I do prefer the European Journo's for cars and bikes versus a lot of American journo's. I feel they offer a more realistic, less watered down point of view.

Another point of view could possibly be; is that the former 997mkI Turbo was sooo good, as good as the new one is; BOTH are just terrific sports cars. They do everything so well............The bar would have to be raised substantially higher to 'wow' an already 'WOW' car.

I'm guessing it will be similar to the 996 Turbo S or X50. Probably around 530-550HP, ceramics included and some other goodies. That's just my guess, however.
