Motor Trend is a scam
 
Found this on an other board

The persons responsible for picking out the top 5 should have read up on performance and handling before attempting this magazine writing business.

The results were as follows:
  1. Audi R8
  2. Nissan GT-R
  3. BMW M3
  4. Mazda RX-8
  5. Porsche 911 Turbo
  6. Mitsubishi Evo MR
  7. Dodge Viper ACR
  8. Mini Cooper S
  9. Chevrolet Cobalt SS
  10. Ford Shelby GT500KR
I applaud Randy Pobst, who found something positive to say about the Mazda RX-8, which came out 4th in rankings in front of the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Dodge Viper ACR. This truly proves that any magazine opinion can be bought and sold for dinners, track rentals, testing facilities and that the general commentary in these magazines is usually BS.
I guess, I should mention that Mazda North America generously donated time at the Mazda Raceway in Laguna-Seca, where the testing was conducted.

They prolly think because it has leaf springs that it can't handle.

i thought motor trend was american and would think they would put the vette on top but guess not

TrepNick 10-02-2008 02:59 AM

:lame: no vette

type_R 10-02-2008 08:44 AM

they might as well have put a "Lada" on first place there

2TONE_93GT 10-02-2008 01:13 PM

A Z06 in that lot would have been a disaster for the competition. Z06 = no joke.

GLI 10-03-2008 01:39 PM

too bad they're so damn expensive...

The Don 10-03-2008 04:59 PM

I can think of a few cars that should be on that list... Pretty lame article to hae if it's not showing the true top 10 out there..

judgez24 10-03-2008 06:21 PM

the z06 isnt that bad. the new zr1 is 100g which is a bit much but, it pumps cars worth a half mil more.

Fresh_Prince 10-05-2008 12:02 AM

this is not much news...all car magazines within the past decades have their own
little biases sometimes its just goes as far as that

Csabe Csere from from car & driver was quite the only credible guy for a while
now he cant get his face out of his ass
