Note that most auto review
Note that most auto review circles are often filled with like-minded people who never, ever designed anything in their life, let alone a car. Then they pontificate what the OEMs feel readers and blog posters need to read; seldom provocative enough to voice any opposing or revealing opinion; much like politicians with party affiliations, except they're corporate affiliated. They also like those perks, too, like trips, hotel rooms and food as a soft-side payment for their reviews. That's why I owe no allegiance, because I never go to them, and don't need them to put food on my table. If that is a clown, then so be it.
