Even thought that's the bottom of the barrel Boxter, not the S model, that's still a great video. The average person won't know to argue that point, so its a great clip to show nay sayers. They can shut their mouths!

So you take advantage of some people's ignorance to load the deck?

I always find this sort of comparison quite ridiculous. A sports car isn't just about being quick. A sports car doesn't even have to be quick to be a good sports car.

Now, of course many people think, "A Porsche must be quick. So if a Hyundai sedan is quicker, it must be really quick."

But those with thorough knowledge of cars will see the video as pointless.

Well, the Genesis sedan isn't, anyway.

I'd rather see a drag race against the 5-Series, and the 550 not the 528. Or an E550. Or a GS 460...you get the idea.
