Angry Review of an Aston Martin

Post by Lanval » Wed Mar 12, 2014 10:13 am

Amusingly caustic review of an overly-expensive sports car. I suspect that if Colin were doing this sort of thing, it might sound something like this!

Oh my . . . he veered alarmingly close to sounding "bitchy" which is complaining without the deep facts underneath. I got his drift, though. Like so many other manufacturers with a once great heritage, their new management has attempted to cash in on mystique while promoting a bloated gimmicky lipsticked pig masquerading as a "sports car". $750 for Bluetooth? Don't entry-level 18K Mazdas have that as standard equipment?
Friggen poseurs.

it's an automatic and a convertible - it wasn't made for the driving enthusiast. rather, it was made for his mistress to take a friend and maybe a tiny dog to their next party/fundraiser/art gallery/etc.

they won't know how to use the silly electronics anyway. :P



no worries, they still make the zoomy stuff:

Another annoying Top Gear review.
"It sorts goes like this . . . "
"Yeah, me too, mine went sort of like . . . "
"But it didn't get too, you know . . "
"Did you see me?"

Do we no longer talk about trailing throttle oversteer and power understeer, and yaw/pitch control? I have no idea after that six minutes, of how the car actually handles.
Or if Pebbles the Poodle liked it.
