    Thanks for the link but that is the most feminine Porsche video I've ever seen!

    I guess Porsche figures that its target audience is metrosexual men. The old guy at the end of the video looked like he was going to pop an aneurism when he blew into his cupped hands.

    I didn't really like the video, thanks for the link anyway though. The best ones were for the 993. Espcially the one where they were figuring out what color to paint it. Those were the good old days.

    There are more videos on the Porsche website that are much better and, how can I say this delicately, less gay?

    Re: Want to see a beautiful video

    The video is showing these "men" trying out new things and trying to change. This could be an analogy about other manufacturers trying to change or come up with new ideas, since there original "self" isn't working out as well as they'd like. In the end it shows that some things shouldn't change, as in the beautiful design of Porsches over the years. The guy is still on the grass when the TT drove by, so it may not be about targeting the "men" in the video.

    If the target of the commercial is directed at those guys, Porsche should have made the commercial similar to that beer commercial (forgot name...Mil.Best?), where the can slams down on the un-manly man. The TT could have run those guys over, like when the can crushes the guys.

    That made me want to cancel my order. I was expecting to see a hairless oiled & shaved boy buffing the car with a chamois wedged in his bare ass at the conclusion.

    Dave, you're sick...and funny as he11.

    At the end I was waiting for Walter Rohrl to make a thrashing cameo appearance in his '87 Audi Batmobile S1 Sport quattro & mow down the two nuzzling couples in the park...Monte Carlo Rally style.

    That is a video I would pay to see. I bet it would also sell a few cars.
