Giulia QV Review - Rubbish Journalism (Surprise, surprise...)

[Citroënbender]

A car with alleged ORC around AUD$150K (Jan '18) and a review shallower than a Slip'n'Slide.

Lots of facile comments, superficial comparisons with the current C63 Benz (why don't they just get one of those instead and stop pretending to "review" something else?) - and of course avoiding the real question of whether it is "worth" anything remotely approaching its asking price. 

I reckon for $150K that you could buy a Ferrari 400i, convert it to aftermarket EFI, fit a GearVendors overdrive, container it to Europe, have a summer driving holiday, freight it back and still have two bob in your skyrocket. Not that such a prescription would appeal to everyone; we're human after all.

Very much morning-breakfast-TV style analysis.

Still, they said everything bad they could think of, and still both gave it a tick.

Good comparison with brekky television.  Haven't had a TV for years; barely miss it! Outlaws are glued to the rotten thing.

"eight-speed double-clutch gearbox"

Nuff said/

The skirt looks good butt.

And did you see what shitbox won over the Guilia in the Wheels SUV of the Year comp?

GOOD CALL!!!

1 of the best moves anyone can make, in my opinion, is to get rid of the d@mn things!
Nothing but pure rubbish.

Personally I havene't had it at home since they got rid of the analogue TV signal and I had my back to it in the cribroom where I use to work. I literally have not seen any TV for over 9 months, since I got a gig in a different department.

Oh, and dickheads reviewing cars are just that, DICKHEADS!

Those two "reviewers" like most others are so used to SPAM appliances and other white goods, they wouldn't know a half decent car if it dropped out the sky on them! 
Huge difference between a car "review" and a car "test".  Whatever the "review" or "test" however, most seem obsessed with the toys and care little about what the car is like to DRIVE. 

Cars are becoming more regarded as a consumer item than a ROAD VEHICLE.
