I don't know you Black Shadow, but I am not really interested in, or impressed by your ability to plagerize the work of professional automotive journalists.
If you've seen something- taken pictures or stated your own opinions, that would be one thing, but to cop the entire piece from Autoweek like you seem to do practically every day.......
It doesnt have enough ponies to really be taken seriously. Went to look at one about 2 months ago and yes, its nice. But the convertable Z next to it was a little more my style.
