Jalopnik Test Drive Review of BRZ (oh wait...)

There isn't one. I'm having a mini-flame war on Twitter with their Editor in Chief because I think they got the pricing news from THIS forum, but don't give us any mention.

Guess you guys prepared me well for the flaming!

Cheers,
Hong

Jalopnik is the bottom of the barrell anyway when it comes to automotive reviews. Nothing gained or lost there.

Jalopnik? Who cares. Their never ending snark-fest does not deserve mention let alone respect. Ray Wert needs an arse whipping and a new site format.

Yeah I stopped checking Jalopnik after they got the new unreadable site design. It was always just recycled news from other sites without any original content anyways so I don't think I'm really missing anything.

Not that I care to defend Jalopnik in any way, but isn't the actual Source Motor Trend's Editor's Twitter feed?

Yes. I was telling Jalop they needed to credit Ed Loh, EIC of Motor Trend for the info. They did a poor job of that, calling it "twitter traffic".

Gawker media is the worst if the worse in all categories they cover. They lost all credibility after the Gizmodo iPhone 4 thing that got them industry black listed.
