It looks like someone at C/D finally did an Escape review without alcoholic assistance and comedy-club sarcasm.

:clap:

C/D was skirting on the fringes of reality with this review. :wacko: They have an enormous amount of anti-Ford sentiment at that rag. :spank: Seems like they always like to say that the Ford four cylinder engines sound agricultural :bang: . Makes me wonder if any of those dolts actually drove a tractor . Different sound entirely. :bust:

I couldn't have said it better myself. And that's one of many reasons that I'm no longer a C/D subscriber.

I have a lifetime sub (thanks to my Dad) and the "auto-snobbery" at C/D isn't exactly subtle. :roll:

 

[jpark]

It's not only snobbery, but it seems like anyone with a big ad campaign suddenly gets C/D's attention and praise.

What an amazing coincidence.

The Malibu? On the Ten Best list? There's a perfect example. :stifle:

I'll have to tell my Dad. He drives his Ford Jubilee almost as must as he does his truck. He would probably love an Escape that had the same sound...

Tractors are honest machinery. Everything about them is right there for you to see. No fancy body parts, just what is necessary and nothing more. If the tractor is without the engine, or transmission. Well, you just don't have a tractor. Just most of the parts, save whatever is missing. That is why if figure that they use the terminology as a form of denigration. It shows a lack of respect for what helped make America what it is today, and they don't like it. And in my opinion "agricultrual sounding" is a compliment. Yet I don't cease to realize what those yuppy pretender wanna be whiners are really trying to say.
