Erik, what never made sense to me was how a magazine could test a minivan using the same criteria as a Ferrari.

There should be a different protocol at a track venue strictly for exotics or performance cars.

Fuel economy loops in a V12 Lambo with six carbs?

I never understood that...

Hmm, TSLA closed at $863.42 today.  That’s a P/E of 1349.09.

Value?

What a quaint 20th century concept...

Larry, good point but an “average“ driver is not typically interested in an exotic car/manufacturer and vice versa.

Honestly, the cars that got reviewed badly in period are often the most exciting and valuable today.

I remember reading one of the big automotive magazines complaining about the location of auxiliary switches as an indictment of a particular Italian exotic’s overall design.

I thought to myself - why this guy fumbling around for the radio fader at 130mph??

Oh wait, he is prob in a Los Angeles traffic jam where the race inspired chassis means very little.

Hmm...

Might not one argue that in some respects a review by an "average driver" would be far more relevant to a prospective purchaser who was also an "average driver" than a review by a seasoned, professional race car driver?

. . . . How do you take a driving review of a vehicle from someone who has the training and skill of the average driver?
