I hate automotive websites.

Since we already have an "I hate my girlfriend" thread I thought I would add this one.

Okay I'm on the internet looking up reviews for cars and low and behold I see our Camaro listed. So I have to click on it because, well I just have to. Then I notice that they already have 11 average joe reviews of the car....WHAT!!! how can that be???? Is there a sheer remote possibility that these people have actually driven the car? Or are they just guessing. The second review pisses me off. Other than the two sh!tty ones the rest seem like they love the car.

Ugh, this is why I stopped looking this crap up on stupid websites and magazines that think they are reputable sources, and I joined Camaro5. It's websites like this one that have the real truth.

Ok , "its a pig" ! There I said it. For a car that big & heavy there's just not a whole lot of interior room . And look at the power to weight ratio . It needs a seven-speed auto trans for more MPG & acceleration . 16" or 17" wheels & tire's for smoother ride & MPG not to mention acceleration AGAIN . The big wheel thing has run its course .
how on earth can you say this from experience? you wrote this in August. not only are they still working on the cars, but everyone who actually drove one was almost blinded by its glory!

"Cons: Boring Exterior"

There should be a way to complain to the website. Posting user reviews of products unavailable for testing is unethical.

User reviews are crap. You have fanboys blindly in favor of the product, fanboys against the product, plants by manufacturers to reinforce marketing messages, plants by competitors to unfavorably compare it to their product, and somewhere buried in there is a legitimate review with a legitimate, real, unbiased user opinion. Not worth it. Sadly not all consumers realize this.

Actually, I have mixed views on the 2010 Mustang. OK yes, the engines and suspension are horribly outdated. But the new styling is good and the interior is very high quality.

^But the thing is you will give an honest answer to the discussion. This guy gave it a bad review just to be a dick. Why because he doesn't have to face any consequences. I would like to see him post this crap on this website, we would rip him a new @$$hole! He will be so sorry that he couldn't delete his post fast enough.

^ Many "people" review things they don't even own. They love to spread their opinion, no matter how worthless it is.

Either this guy gave a bad review to be a Dick, or a bad Dick gave a review.
