That is very funny...lol
Sometimes I think that they know they need to get an article written, and they just look around the room and find the person that is usually in charge of writing in the Recipe Section, and say "Hey you...I need you to quickly write this!"
i don't give much weight to car reviews. I mainly read them for the entertainment value. Because really, that's what they really are at the end of the day. I suspect these car reviewers spend less time driving and evaluating any given car than tech reviewers spend time evaluating smart phones. To extend the tech analogy further, car reviews basically run benchmarks (0-60 mph times, braking, skid pad, etc) and sprinkle in some metaphors to describe how it feels like to drive the car.
But very little attention is paid to how it is like to live with the car in daily use. Simply because car reviewers rarely do that, if at all. In comparison, smartphone reviewers actually spend time using the phone for a week or two before they put thoughts down to paper. Frankly, for something that someone will be spending tens of thousands of dollars buying/leasing, car reviewers are doing a disservice to their readers. Which probably explains why so many car magazine viewerships are shrinking or going away.
I would bet the car reviews posted here will be more helpful in making a buying decision than any professionally written review in the big car mags. Outside of instrumented testing (only important for bench racing and for the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, Corvette, etc), professional reviews don't really offer much of value to their reader as they are written today. and that is why car magazine circulations are shrinking by the day.
Bottom line - read professional car reviews for their entertainment value, not informative value.
