I read that article this morning and I didn't know if I wanted to laugh or gag at some of the content. I read Anita and Paul's car reviews all of the time, and when it comes to sports cars it often seems as if they are rather clueless.
I personally love how much of the article (including the comment by the photo) focuses on the new corvette cupholders of all things! :L
...And then they go on to write about the skip shift feature. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt but it's so easy to disable and prevents a gas guzzler tax that most corvette buyers aren't going to complain too hard. They'll just take care of the 'problem' themselves if they don't like it.
The funniest part was when they write "But it [the skip shift feature] remains a major grievance for many drivers who find themselves without sufficient power for accelerating or merging with traffic."
I mean, you show me a corvette driver that finds him or herself without sufficient power to accelerate or merge with traffic and I'll either show you a highway with speedier traffic than the autobahn or a corvette with severe engine problems!!! Especially because they are talking C6!!!
Anyways, I find many of their reviews to be very informative and on target. However, this one (in my opinion) leaves A LOT to be desired.
