Jeremy Cato's review in Vancouver Sun

He liked it, but he didn't do much to help make the car a success. He said:

(1) "The back seats are only for children."

(2) "It's quick. Really quick. I would estimate the 0-100km/h in low seven second range."

How helpful or ACCURATE is that?

Shame on you, Jeremy.

1) Every journalist seems to say that about EVERY car except minivans.

2) What the hell kind of journalist says that? Why not look it up and say "It's quick. Really quick. "X magazine states it does 0-100 in X time"!

He made all kinds of inaccurate statements. When he wrote about the tachometer, he proclaimed the "8000 plus red line".

Wakeech, I never read his article because in 50 out of 52 weeks he writes about mini-SUVs, monster-SUVs, or minivans. What a disservice to the newspaper. He's syndicated, too, I believe. Go figure.
