Good idea for a 'sticky'.

Did anyone notice that at the end of the AutoWeek video they have a link to a configurator? It's better basic but shows invoice price and MSRP.

I'll add the MSN review... VERY high level and superficial compared to the others but a review nonetheless... MSN Review

Vote for a sticky - it's standard practice on car sites.

Another review at the National Post. Very positive - only slight negative was an backhanded comment about steering feel. I have seen that in a few reviews now, disappointing tbh, I guess it was too much to expect Porsche or even BRZ levels of feel with the C7.

There have been lots of VERY positive reviews on the steering... Tony Stewart made very positive comments. Just like there have been some negative comments about the ES in the 911. Most reports are the C7 steering is very well sorted just like most are positive on the 911 steering... not all however for either car. Some people just will never like electronic steering regardless of how well done it is.

Hi Ching Ho,

Thanks for list. How about adding the automobile magazine review video for completeness?

You know, the one where that one Eminem looking guy was driving the white car. He gave it a good review as well.
