Poorly-composed, lame articles like this make me want to do automotive journalism just to show how retarded some of these guys are...

The problems I notice with most automotive journalists are:

1.) they don't know jack **** about cars, and don't hide this fact very well
2.) they think they know way more than they actually do, and drop technical jargon in incorrect or inappropriate ways making them look like complete idiots to real enthusiasts
3.) they are biased, paid-off ********
4.) they cannot write to begin with
5.) they glamorize the most boring, basic pieces of **** the same way they do proper sports and exotic cars

I can't figure out the greater of the two evils: automotive journalists or car salesmen. :icon14:
Add to that list

6 ) they write an impassioned and opinionated article about a vehicle and then contradict themselves on the same vehicle six months later.

What you don't know won't hurt you I suppose.... I just broomed the Z for a new Mustang GT.... Trust me, It's pretty nice....:-)

"Both are tasty but are completely different in their presentation and delivery"...True Dat!

A sloppy joe > california roll. That's just the truth.
Who says that's "the truth"? I'll take California sushi rolls over a Sloppy Joe anytime!

Every automotive magazine is full of **** / corrupt in some way or another. In my opinion Motor Trend is the worst though with Edmunds being a strong second. Every automotive magazine is full of **** / corrupt in some way or another. In my opinion Motor Trend is the worst. Car and Driver may very well be biased towards BMW but it’s sort of hard not to be as BMW really does make great automobiles. But then again, not long ago they deemed the Audi S4 superior to the 335i…

Me! I'm a sushi lover, believe me, but I just don't like the Cali rolls.

If they had hopped into a new Shelby GT, it would have read: "...went from eating California rolls to eating filet mignon..."

Love the 'Stang power, not so much the live rear axle.

But that's my ignorance talking - if I owned one, I'm sure I'd enjoy a helluva ride.
