Yes, but what about those who rule out even going for a test drive because of something they read in an article? You're assuming they make it as far as taking a test drive.

IMHO magazines are just to make people feel better about their choices. u go read articles where Z prevails, others go read articles where Cayman does or Corolla... who gives a dang!

Then they're idiots and get whatever comes their way. If the reviewer was making half the payment, I would value their opinion. Otherwise, it's just a fun read as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if the entire city hates it as long as I like it.
