Exactly. Car and Driver. I read every car mag every month for 35 years. Back when I used to read CD (which was my favorite), I liked one of the regular monthly column writers. He loved cars with high performance and had nothing good to say about such "boring" cars as the Sentra. He could spew polysyllabic prose on the finer points of lift-throttle oversteer as if it was something any normal human would ever actually feel. Then one day he revealed that the car he and his wife owned was a used CR-V. Because in the real world it is rare to actually "Floor the throttle." And drivability is what most folks really want. Like the story says, the enthusiast magazines sell a fantasy world. No shame in buying into the fantasy. I did for a long time. Then I actually started testing the cars myself and realized what was going on. Thx for posting this.
