>I don't think that the VW vs Ferrari analogy is appropriate. There is sporty and then there is sporty. A Ferrari is "high-performance", but so is a Jeep or a Camero.

A high performance may be fast, or manuverable, or easy to roll, or surf well, or carry a lot of gear efficiently, or... Performance, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. Usually a "high performance" kayak will be optimized for something other than simple all-around handling for a novice (which could be defined as a high level of performance in its own right).
