Agreed

The car is exactly that of the $14k Lancer;

Except for the engine, tranny, AWD, ACD, brakes, wheels, exterior parts, some interior parts and so forth.

Whoever coined the phrase 15k car w/ 15k drivetrain hit the nail on the head. So the author is partially correct. Hell I've seen plenty of people on this board complain about the road noise and rattling. I've seen posts on this board complain about the suspension and road noise.

So that guys article is not far off IN THAT DEPARTMENT. But he has no clue about the performance aspects of the car, and what it is designed for.

that guy definitely wasn't writing from an automotive enthusiasts point of view. yeah, it's not like a volvo, because that's not the point of the whole thing.

10 bucks says he's never even heard of WRC.

your link said he was the editor at cobiz magazine..... here's a message from the editor at cobiz magazine.

READER RESPONSE
Online editor
At CoBizMag.com, we welcome and enjoy reader’s responses. It’s a great part of the online experience. But we’re not going to allow vulgarity, f-bombs and the like, so we’ve cut those from here. BTW, you come across more convincing if you have an argument to go along with your criticisms of our authors.

haha....reminds me of the cNet review from a few months ago:
http://reviews.cnet.com/2006_Mitsubi...-31517840.html

I wonder if these two authors took the same "writing automotive reviews 101" class..

Some headlines from this article's user comments:
"GO BACK TO REVIEWING ELECTRONICS"
"CNET SHOULD STICK TO COMPUTERS"
"Dont Listen To That *** Wipe!"
"Evo with a radio"
"did you seriously just call it the "eye-ex"?!?!"
"This is the Evo "eye exx" and I'm an idiot! It's 9 in roman numerals you..."
"The guy in that video is an idiot."
