But in this contest of speed, style, and top-down dominance, it wasn't even close... We put aside the stopwatches and calculators in favor of softer data collected by ours hands, feet, eyes, and ears. How can such a heart-and-soul approach so accurately and positively identify the Boxster S as the roadster that best fulfills the mission profile? See for yourself.
Yes I find it ridiculous that an automotive publication takes the time to write an article that is solely based on feelings. It's nothing more than a glorified opinion. However I re-read it and still find the same thing I bolded before in my first post quoting you. Also, just because a vehicle FEELS better doesn't mean it can translate that to actual performance.
