On Monday, we wrote an article about being suspect of the Cadillac ATS review in C&D.
As you know, you've read MANY articles here telling you about our belief/proof that the major media outlets are 'in the tank' and that there are VERY FEW places you can go on the web that you can REALLY trust for a REAL opinion, from people who ACTUALLY buy their own cars and know what consumers go through.
Well if you don't believe us, read this article from the infamous Jack Baruth and YOU make the call.
Remember we appreciate YOUR support and we tell it like it is because the only people we want to please is YOU.
NOT the auto companies. You have our word on it.
Also, we are NOT picking on Cadillac here. ALL of the mags are 'in the tank' with ALL of the car companies. This is just ONE example of how the game works.
Here's a small snippet and the rest is at the link:
"HEY! Remember when I said the Cadillac ATS was going to be a miserable failure? Guess what? It still IS going to be a miserable failure! But you’d never know it from the glowing reviews on the Web right now, many of which are filled with self-described on-track driving heroics that sound utterly Schumacher-esque until you realize they were done with mandatory save-the-brakes stops every lap and with careful supervision.
Motor Trend’s Scott Evans managed to slip the surly bonds of that supervision long enough to touch his Cadillac’s face to a couple of trees. We challenged GM and Motor Trend to release the black box data and share with the public what really happened."
