“The Truth About Cars” review of the 135

I do not wish to create a “controversy” on this board, but what is your opinion about Justin’s review of the 135?

Besides the comment about the aesthetics of the car, he states that “The 135i's front seats are horrendous; they get negative five stars.”

Addressing the weight issue he states “With the 135i, BMW had its cake and ate it too. Maybe that's why the 135i is so fat.”

He also states that “The reality is more like a fat guy limbo dancing under a pole raised six feet off the ground.”

Although praising the virtues of the twin turbo engine, he states that “It's too bad the rest of the car is just luggage”.

No, you really tend to steer away from controversy don't you Tex?

As for the review? I'm phoning my dealer on Monday to cancel my order.

We must obey these referees of aesthetics-all MFA's or architects, no doubt. I will call my salesman too on Monday to cancel my order:biggrin:

This must be really an excellent design. Reminds me of the comments of people who didn't understand art whem modern art was being made. "aw Jeez a square on the canvas! My kid could do that!"

Every forum needs an official troll.

My opinion is his review doesn't matter. I have the car in my garage and I am having a blast with it. I can't be bother with others review because I can go out and drive it.
:respekt:

I didn't think americans did sarcasm? (until Seinfeld at least, no offence intended).

Closing this thread. It is a repost... not to mention it was posted for it's shock factor, contrary to the "The I do not want to cause controversy" opening.

Please continue any civilized discussion in the original thread.
