Journalists...
The guy who came try out the 7 for a very reputable French mag didnt know how to drive!!
Thephotographer would not go into the car with him!
They have another guy though who is a professionnal driver. So you never know if what they say is true or BS. Find out for yourself.

Quote from the "Driven" thing:
Mitsubishi's internal performance data quotes the new GSR as needing 5.4 sec for 0-60 mph (it's 5.1 sec for the lightweight RS), while top speed is up 6 mph to 157 mph. Very fast, in other words.
5,4 is "very fast" when the 6 did 0 - 60 in 4,9? That has to be some kind of a joke I didnt get. Makes you wonder what they consider to be slow...
MichaelK, right again!

Even best motoring is very biased, just check which car comes out on top depending on what the videos are about.... 99% of the times the car that they did the video about.
I've worked with motoring journalists and they are the most useless, scavenging ******* on the planet. Basically you have to bribe them for writing good articles about cars by taking them out to the most lavish occasions and downright bribing them by giving them cars for very cheap prices.
There are some excetions but not many. Any publication about anything that will be sold will be at least tried to be influenced by whose product it is. In the motoring industry this is a perverted artform with the journalsits actually expecting to be treated like kings even if they are the grumpiest bastards you've ever seen, which they are for me. Haven't seen ungrateful and demanding people like that anywhere else. Even very senior people at large companies that are classified as idiots aren't even in the same league as them. There. You might think that this is something that I get wound up about....

and yes, all the times suck, just some more than others.
