I remember reading that article too... it was something like a coolant hose clamp giving way or something that had more to do with the "prep and assembly" of the test vehicle...rather then the vehicle itself. Those C/D editors are real "fruit cakes"... YEAH... LIKE no Ferrari, Porche, Lambo, BMW, Jaguire, Corvette, Viper test mule ever had an issue with hose clamps, or mis-prepped equipement that gave way during the test... yeah..sure Now how many LC2s have been produced on on the road with no major issues after well over 150,000 miles...??? LOL I don't recall seeing any major "counterpoint" sections for the import "favorites" from this and other mag's like it... That's why I posted this article...it's unbiased and NON BULL****... even if the times are a bit slow...
