Yahoo.com's auto review of Evo

I am waiting for a phone call at work and bored so I started browsing the yahoo auto section "The 2003 Lancer Evolution's closest competitors include the Buick LeSabre, the Nissan Maxima, and the Toyota Avalon." Lol, Buick LeSabre? Did this guy see the Evo, let alone drive before he wrote this?

Wow - I gotta try that buick then!

But on a more serious note; I'll bet trigeek is waiting for the same call I am - both our Evos left LA(?) last Thursday morning!

The wait is killing me..

If you read other "reviews" you'll see that the language in all the same is the same. This looks to be auto-generated by simply matching prices and maybe doors as someone said.

I am sure you are right, but anyone with a half-cup of brains and a $12 yearly subscription to Car & Driver should know better then this.
