Auto "journalists" get to drive new cars with lots of options, often on tracks where they can do whatever they want in the cars with little worry about damage. And they love to spout their opinions and wear their preferences on their sleeves. In their own way, auto mags are about as relevant as Consumer Reports. There's good info in them, but you have to accept it for what it is. But it'd be nice work if you can get it. Not remotely hard and you get someone to pay your way at Bondurant's.
They get paid to be subjective and rate cars on what THEY think is important. They rate one car better because it turns a slightly better lap time on a closed road course, as if that means anything.
What's good is that they at least LIKE cars, as opposed to the weenies at Consumer Reports who think cars are microwaves with wheels.
