^While I absolutely am a +1 for research, I think that was an absolutely unnecessary choice of words. Not only that but Semtex said

I'd never make a final purchasing decision based on reviews alone, mind you. Really I'm just looking for preliminary red flags. If I see a red flag, then I know not to waste my time with a test drive and dealing with salespeople. I'll give you an example. I was actually considering the G8 GXP as well as the 370Z. Then I read that the G8 has the annoying skip-shift feature that GM puts in so many of its cars. That right there told me I needn't bother with a test drive, because that's one 'feature' I wouldn't tolerate.
But like I said, whatever works for you. Different strokes, different folks.

and this is not a Pontiac forum. I didn't know about the skip shift feature on the G8 GXP because I don't have much of a taste for GM products.While the 370Z may have issues such as a needed oil cooler (devils advocate), I can see the rational of Semtex by not wanting to have to mod a car straight out of the factory because of a stock transmission issue, despite how easy that mod may be. Not to mention this thread is about R&T writing about a pre-production cluster gauge.
Now back on topic.
