I'm not a fan of these modern day vampire movies myself (and yes, she's hot), but the video seems pretty complimentary to Porsche--If you lived forever, this is the car to drive. Just curious, what bothers you about it?

In the book she drove a Gallardo in that part. Would have rather seen that than the Turbo. Not that there's anything wrong with the Porsche, I was just expecting the Lamborghini.

I have no patience to watch thse types of movies . They strike me as emotional focused soft core **** made for primarily for women who lack intellectual depth. It's the next step up from the more popular fantasty based romance novels --except it's visual .

That said .. sales of Porsche are slow and it can;t hurt to try and gain some feminine appeal for the Porsche 911 which largely has a male customer base . It plays to the reasoning of "if some vampire woman can drive it why can't I" shallowness that male advertisers think women might like .

Most of the women who like the Porsche 911 already know it without the endorsement of a Hollywood movie .

hahahahahaha vid! I just saw the movie with my wife (who is a die hard Team Edward fan) and when the Turbo seen came on she said, "aren't you glad you came to the movie now?!?"...I was like well the Turbo seen is the best part of the movie, but I was still not impressed by the movie. Also I didn't know that there was a direct flight from Forks Washington to Italy??

Interesting that they mix the 997TT and shots of the 996 in the video i.e. power slide shot and interior close ups (.29sec-.35ec)

Loved the movie. Maybe it is because for the past year that's all I heard about was the Twlight movies and books and the first movie was so bad that this one turned out aight.

Go team Jacob!

I think your analysis of the movie is spot on. Bella Lagosi did it right the first time, this new stuff is just soft **** trash done in the Vampire venue. Could have done it with a werewolf or Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde. Any old monster movie theme where a nice guy turns into a monster and back again.

I just showed the Video to my better-half's sister who is in the top 1% of Twilight Fanatics. If these Twilighters wore Patched -Jackets like Bikers did she would have one of those "1%" patches on hers for sure. She said that Alice indeed does drive a Porsche Turbo, even steeling one from an airport. Will clarify for certainties sake...

Here we go straight from the source...

"A bright yellow Porsche screamed to a stop a few feet in front of where I paced, the word TURBO scrawled in silver cursive across its back. Everyone beside me on the crowded airport sidewalk stared."

There ya go, though there might be some Gallardo floating around else wheres in the novel.

HMMM. I could have sworn it was a Gallardo. I know she buys a Porsche in the 3rd book.
