But aren't press reviews always positive? The motoring press ride a fine line, if they write negative copy (beyond a little nit-picking) about a vehicle that has hundreds of millions worth of R&D spend attached then the press office of the respective motor manufacturer will black-list them - effectively cutting off their means of income. Some years back Clarkson wrote a scathing (deserved) review of a Vectra - Vauxhall didn't lend him any product to review after that.

We live in a digital world and separating fact from fiction is increasingly difficult.

Wasn't that old Top Gear, he said it was just a box on wheels and handled like a microwave oven. :D
