BRZ on Motoring TV
 
It was their main story. No new info. You might be able to catch it on TSN sometime this week. Not on their website yet.

Is Graeme Fletcher still doing reviews for them?

Yup but he didn't drive the BRZ. Guess they'll have a review for the BRZ and/or FR-S later.

Yeah it will just be their standard 5 minute infomercial kicking off the show. That show has no shame whatsoever - they get down on their knees for every car maker out there.

I used to really like Fletcher's reviews (back in the 90s). He seemed very objective and would point out a lot of stuff passed over by more standard reviews. But I haven't watched in ages. Apparently the grey haired mechanic guy got some terrible dye job?

LOL yes we discussed that months ago.

Graeme's reviews are still OK but he rarely has anything seriously negative to say except about pragmatic usability concerns - buttons in the wrong place, etc. I have hardly ever heard him hammer a car for poor handling inthe last few years.

This has been a growing concern of mine in ALL the Canadian automotive press/media in the past decade. Probably because the market is so small that they are much more advertiser (car manufacturers)dependant?
