Default MSN review of roadsters

Could someone checkout these articles and tell me why the s2000 wasn't mentioned?

Personally, I'm glad the S2k wasn't mentioned. Bad company.

Sebring? {{{shiver}}}

Let's see: source is Kiplingers, they chose those models based on being...
1) cheapest (VW)
2) best selling (Rustang)
3) Has a big V8 (Camaro)
4) no clue (Sebring)
5) no clue (Camry)
6) resale value (CLK)

Quote: Chevrolet Camaro "Taking this V8 monster out on a straightaway

I reread the Camry Solara quote, and I can't stop laughing...

"...and delivers a very pleasant ride on smooth surfaces..."

Is there a car made today that doesn't deliver a very pleasant ride on smooth surfaces? Heck, my 10 year old corolla has a pretty nice ride on smooth surfaces.

Like everything Microsoft touches, it's second-rate . I hate Microsoft and all of their ever-beta never fully developed, buggy, junk products. And I'm a shareholder!

In a nutshell: MSN

Totally second rate garbage, it's where you go when you can't get a real job.

This should serve as an important lesson...

It is no wonder so many people in this counrty don't have a FREAKIN' clue when our "respectable" news sources can't even get something simple like this right.
