There’s plenty of evidence that the mainstream media’s tradition
of printing automotive puff pieces as car reviews is coming to an end. First, LA Times car columnist Dan “I spun
an SLR” Neil wins a Pulitzer Prize, then this, from
the North
West Indiana Times: “Suzuki’s Reno not playing with a full deck”. Writer Matt Nauman’s wonders “Is this the
best the global auto industry can offer?” Even more delightfully, the piece comes from Knight Ridder syndication
services. Does your local paper have the stones to print this kind of thing?
