This is a fucking horrible idea. This is a PR disaster. This is a fucking problem.

More bullshit. Of course you didn't actually "review" it. But it certainly was another case of typical Gawker hyperbole, something to the effect of "This is the new awesome Presidential Limo that will change your life!" I'm not gonna go back and cut and paste the entire article on you. You know you did it.
So we're to expect this countermands Jalopnik's glowing review of a few years ago? You guys are so full of shit.
Clarksonitis.
I'm a Jalpa man myself.
Oh FOR CHRISSAKES.
That being said, I actually enjoyed the review.
You're missing my point. There's almost a template for this type of review. Top Gear does them all the time, say, every time Clarkson drives an American car, for example. There's a narrative troupe there. "The writer drives a car under the guise of reviewing it that everyone already knows he's not going to like."
My pants shrank again.
Nah. Mufflers only depending on the state. And really, anything you could stuff in it you could probably eventually find for cheap and rebuild it as you go. God I love this car.
Taking a ridiculous car you'd never drive out just to make fun of it is kinda cheap. If you were to ride in a first-year Escalade you'd write the exact same review—-just like any other auto journo with a stick up his ass about the cross-section the tires on a six-thousand pound truck would have.
It's the hardtop. They used the hardtop from the convertible instead of the fixed fastback for the lightweight.
I'm sorry.....EVAN.
AW. Here we go with the 'angry little man' troupe! The last best refuge of those viciously attacked by any criticism whatso-EVERRRR. Did they teach you that move in Internet School, little one? (Ugh! Don't go anywhere near the CAPS LOCK!!!) Here's your participation trophy, Trevor.
As long as it matters.
The what?!
