My review last night wasn’t actually a review. It was a parody

I wouldn’t have gotten the reference to the other review, but geez, you think everyone would realize it was a joke the moment they saw the picture of the Accord coupe.

When you have to explain them, jokes generally tend to be not funny. I liked your ‘parody’ regardless.

The scores were very high. Just thought you had very little real world auto experience to base your scores on. And apparently everyone was not being a dick last night, or it probably would have come up.

In fairness I put it in with an edit.

I still would rank the car pretty highly, but 10/10 is ambitious.

I didn’t try that hard, and writing a review based on another review was going to be a review no matter what

8/10 is ambitious. That means that the new Bugatti is what, like 17/10? Doesn’t work that way. If you wanted to compare by class, sure, you could get away with it, but I think your scale is off. But it doesn’t matter if it was a parody, as you claim.

Jalopnik rated the BMW 535d an 8/10 for acceleration. It is slower than my Mustang.

Reread that review, it goes into specific reasons, and remember that it’s also just one person’s review, and might not be entirely accurate either, as everything is subjective. Look, I’m not saying this isn’t a great car. I’ve driven two, and was impressed. Also, I drive a 30 year old Z, and have to be very realistic about it’s performance. I just think your scale needs to be adjusted, that’s all. It’s a very good car. And I’m not sure based on your defensive position that this review was a parody.

Does it matter?

Honestly, why does it matter what score I gave it.

I’m glad you like you’re car. It’s a good car. Don’t post an opinion on the internet without expecting different opinions to be voiced. All that matters is that you like it.

Jayhawk Jake > PorkchoPlissken

I’m not upset that there are different opinions. There should be different opinions. Everyone is so hung up on a number, it’s ridiculous

PorkchoPlissken > Jayhawk Jake

I believe those numbers were put up by yourself, then defended by comparing them to other numbers for another car elsewhere. I didn’t start the number thing, and don’t care. Sooo let’s be done with this. Good feels are the most important rating. Sorry if I offended you.
