Porsche Cajun on our show

[techweenie]

It's about 4 minutes in to the show, but you'll probably enjoy what comes before (and after) anyway.

Is this shameless self promotion? Why yes. Yes it is.

Thank goodness there was something good following it....

[Dottore]

One of the most obnoxious presenters ever IMO. Who watches this stuff?

[Paul_Heery]

You guys are being too kind in your assessments of the presenter.

Funny. We range from 5.1 to 5.9 million views a month.

Indeed he is obnoxious. Who watches this stuff? Mostly young guys 16-25 that think anything car related with hot chicks - loud and obnoxious delivery etc is cool

I want my 3min back, couldn't even get through all of it

[techweenie]

Wrong.

2 fast n 2 furious dude....

but not my cup of tea.

[techweenie]

I know, I was amazed, myself, but choose not to argue with YouTube, who writes us monthly checks based on those numbers.

BTW, we will have our "hard core" crew covering the Le Mans race in a viewing party -- 25 hours worth -- starting 8AM Eastern Time Saturday Fast Lane Daily*|*Car News. Fast Cars. Fast and Fresh. Every day.

We're planning something like MST3K, only showing the faces of our crew watching the race (we can't afford 10-camera coverage and licensing) so it's meant to be complementary to SPEED coverage. Today's episode gives details.

Watch/don't watch. YMMV

Im in your 35-54 demographic and I like it. Reminds me of Talk Soup and shows like that. (even though Joel McCale is a little better...lol )

[techweenie]

Everyone who has ever hosted Talk Soup has had success after: Aisha Tyler, Hal Sparks, John Henson, Greg Kinnear and Joel.

Our boy Derek is getting some good auditions and so may 'graduate' soon.

That Mini coupe looks awful. So does the VW with no B pillars. They are cranking out some ugly cars these days.

[techweenie]

I saw the Mini Crossover on the street the other day. Butt ugly.

Nothing worse than that Juke, though. Missed it by one letter when they named it.

[DonDavis]

I watched the vid before I read all the replies. I thought the guy did ok. I think he has talent and speaks well. He's following the agreed upon script/approach. He'll probably gets tons better and end up hosting the US version of that UK crappy show that reviews cars and bashes Porsche. I can't remember the UK hosts name. Oh wait, I CHOOSE not to remember that hacks name, that's it, yeah.

[Zeke]

The demographics speak well of me.

[techweenie]

Today's show is pretty cool. Our Friday host is a former race driver and all around cool guy. So much so, he got a one-on-one interview with Sebastian Vettel...

Cajun? Why not - it and its derivatives will fit nicely into the 2022 lineup alongside the citycar, the compact, the fullsize SUV, the sub Pajun SUV, the 20 911 variants, the Panamera, the Panamera Coupe, the Pajun saloon, cabrio and coupe, the junior roadster, the Boxster, the 918 replacement and the Cayman.

200,000+ cars per year, most of 'em SUVs with automatics and AWD for the Chinese market. Awesome. After all, the Ferrari business model focussing purely on sports cars and GTs has been such a dismal failure, what with their low volumes and waiting lists and so on.

*sigh*

PS - I thought the presenter was OK.
