My Hero, speed!


But seriously,
T H I N K - A B O U T - T H I S

Advertising. This dude just lives to create controversy. Pushing buttons is what makes people access his site and mag which allows for advertisement views which creates a ton of money. He isn't an idiot at all. We are for falling for his pile of bull. I believe he writes what he does simply out of shear opportunity to bring attention to himself and the magazine. Honestly, what magazine is stupid enough to allow for a "journalist" who confused a V-8 with a V-6 to continue to add further falsified content regarding automobiles to their name? A very smart magazine with a smart journalist.

Remember folks, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

I don't know about you but until I saw this I had never heard of Jeff Rundles or his magazine. Now I find myself accessing their site and perusing their articles. Funny how that seems to all work out.

 

I have a feeling he wants to emulate Jeremy Clarkson.

The difference being that Clarkson knows what he's talking about and is most of the time hugely funny. This guy just fails at everything.

I seriously do not agree with circulation by controversy. It is the responsibility of the magazine and its editor(s) to assign jobs to those appropriately skilled/knowledgable. I'm not biased because I have one (well and Sti as well, actually!) but this guy sounds to me like a fan of big-a$$ed family saloons hailing from the world where 0-60 in 8 seconds is 'exhilarating' and trunk space is a BIG ISSUE so get him to review those cars. If the magazine/site wishes to gain popularity by having a guy saying all cars on this planet are totally $hit, then I don't see it lasting.

Attn: Jeff Rundles
If you want a nice interior with no rattles got less than 35k, get a fucking sitting room and some sofas. Then you can spend the rest of your natural life in there you hopeless, worthless, Clarkson-wannabe. I hope you don't breed and if you already have offsprings, I hope they don't have legs.

 

He is a douche, no doubt.

It's hard to swallow but think about it. Advertising / publicity is what drives business and money. ColoradoBiz.com being a business site is simply about that; making money. Don't think for one second any publication has the duty to produce any particular quality of work. Their only duty is to create readers just as TV stations are simply to create viewers. Why? Advertising. It is honestly that simple. I do not wish to offend anyone so I'm not going to mention some of the crap shows that are on TV that create some amazing ratings but believe me these stunts work and pay out handsomely. Crap auto reviews ( <-- Advertisement, how ironic) are a great idea for an America audience because we tend to have pride and take our cars very serious in this culture. So by attacking them all with one article one can affect so many with so few words. Enough of an affect to spread the name of intended media to the point of web site hits at a minimum.

I couldn't agree with you all more. The guy hasn't a clue of what he writes about from an automotive review standpoint. But is that really what hes there for? There are plenty of professionals out there reviewing cars. There are car review standards like car and driver and consumer guides. Who needs this guy and why should we read him as opposed to anything else? For that reason, opposition. An opposing force that attracts attention. This guy reviews cars too horribly to be considered a legit source for anyone that knows anything about automobiles. He isn't about that - I'm telling you

Intended Business Opportunity -or- Accidental Genius?

 

Well that explains it. ***** in the fridge guy all the way! I bet he drives a minvan and has to ask his wife permission to pee.

 

Dude gave the Nissan Quest four wheels out four, enough said

 

lmao, if he had a problem with the plush MR, i'd love to see him rag on my RS.

that's my favorite review of the evo ever.

 

I agree with EvoReveur, This guy is like an anorexic working as a restaurant reviewer, completely incapable of giving a serious informed opinion that it just cant be taken seriously. I also agree this is just to stir up interest and get more eyeballs onto the site. It would be too good to be true for someone to be truly that clueless but it sure is fun!

 

Then you'd have loved the RS. I bought my MR RS (finally got confirmation from the main distributor who looked up their records of the car) and in comparison to the 2005 Evo IX GT that I had back home before, the 2005 Evo VIII MR RS seems to feel more hardcore. Probably due to the absence of sound insulating material.

The MR RS I got came with a very decent Alpine setup, but honestly, I'd rather be listening to the tyre noise, the intake, the turbo whine, and the full turboback exhaust setup. That my neighbour's wife walked up to me and told me that my car rumbles like a V8 or a Harley put the icing on the cake

Less smiles per mile compared to the 2004 Honda S2000 that I had, but performance-wise, it feels so much more fun

 

You guys are getting trolled. Why bother even replying and letting this guys boss rightfully think his rag is getting national attention? Don't get baited by some dolt who doesn't know what he's talking about writing for a paper that nobody really even heard of until now.

So he thinks the Evo is a ****box, awesome. So did the Porsche Club Owners who reluctantly gave me point bys after I rode their collective asses for an entire lap. Makes me love my car even more.

 

It is a cheap car. But after looking at $60 Audi S4 and reviewing the performance numbers, the MR was was the clear winner, at least for what I wanted it for.
Its a drivers car. Not a car that you drive down the road while sipping on your cappuccino.
Personally, I like the raw harsh feeling that the car has. You can actually feel the road surface, characteristic that more and more cars are losing. Its a car that makes you want to take the long way home. Its a car that's not about the destination, its about the journey.

 

WEll Said ^^

 

I'd be willing to bet that ******* doesn't even know who Clarkson is.

He is the person that consumer reports writes articles for combined with a basic drivers ed course. He looks at cars as an evil necessity to get from place to place and not as something that should actually be fun to drive. He says he likes BMW but, I'm guessing that is just because all his yuppie friends like them because we all know you can't get a new BMW for under his magic $30K mark and to get one that is worth a damn your getting closer to $40K which I would think would be enough to get it booted off his list.

 

Wells im's guessin all them years in the college gettin mys edumacation in engineeerings degree payedd off. Ohhhhhh yeeeaaaaaa!!!!!!

 

Well i for one agree we should just ignore this Invertebrate and get back to enjoying our economy car. If we give this fool the attention he is "trying" to get then he will not get fired! We know hes wrong and so does everyone else..lets move on.

 

I agree^^^ This comes up every so often and everyone gets all riled up over an ignorant comment. Closed.
