Re: I don't get it...
based on how unreliable other product-related reviews are, particularly in consumer electronics, I'd imagine that reviews from automotive publications are likewise of little value and merit, partly, because most of them are paid-for adverts, and partly, because they're so short term, that they fail to pick up on underlying, recurring, problems with that product.
The only reliable reviews are those coming from a _large_ number of hands-on users (and even these can be skewed, either on purpose, although less likely for expensive products, or the opposite way, because humans prefer to moan than to praise).
