For me, it's because of the hype that I was guessing a lot of people would turn around and sell them. The thing was being compared to Porsches and every review said "wow it's so fast around turns!" "It's so much fun to drive!". Then people buy them and realize that it accelerates on the highway like a dying turtle and they get embarrassed in front of their friends with Mustangs and Camaros.

I wouldn't really pay much attention to the article OP posted. It looks like they're just calling out every nice car of 2013 and saying that it isn't good. Come on, how could you say the Miata and Mustang GT weren't always good cars? And everyone absolutely loved the Focus ST. It seemed like the best fwd car released in a long time.

They're just splashing around in the water here.
