He's American... If it doesn't get from 0 to 100 (or 0-60mph) in 7 seconds or less, the car is considered trash. The common theme among most establishment reviewers is: performance must be sports level, it must have soft plastics/pleather/leather dashboards and armrests, and it must be a simplified dashboard so an idiot can drive it.
Reliability and efficiency doesn't even come into play for most these reviewers, other than a side note to pretend they care about those things. They don't care if 20% of the vehicles that roll off an assembly line have major issues, they care about the above factors instead. After all, if they cared about reliability, no Chrysler product would ever get above a 1 star rating.
