  1. The word you are looking for here is “subjective”, not “lazy” but I guess we all pick strange hills to die on. Just skip the fact these “lazy” writers have far more exposure and wheel time with these cars than you or me. Dismiss it as “lazy” all you want but it is the exact opposite of lazy.

  2. Nah. It's subjective, just like your subjective observation of it. It is really is that simple but if making a mountain out of molehill is the way you want to go, then knock yourself out. However, it seems like you are just focusing on the one bullet points copy and pasted by David instead of the article itself, which provides much better context. Again, though, maybe making mountains is where you would prefer to do here. In that case, I am tipping myself on out of it. Nothing personal.

  3. Nah... its lazy journalism. Nah...its lazy. When the writer switches between 911 trims to determine the E-Ray to be better... Better in what? There are many 911 flavours and the ONE flavour that the Vette exists in...a hybrid, the 911 doesnt have one. Going back and forth of one Vette trim to take on a plethora of 911 trims cherry picking what the E-Ray does better is exactly THAT. LAZY. Its not subjective. Its biased. Aaaaaand...LAZY. When I say that automotive journalism should lax it against the hatred for American automobile, I dont mean blind faith in them because this journalism is the exact reverse of what I bitch about hatin' on American cars. We dont have to praise OUR cars by putting down foreign ones... And this article, although it doesnt put down a 911, it uses LAZY metrics to dawn the Vette E-Ray the winner. The winner of what? That the E-Ray is better? Better in what? A biased dumb metric based on reasoning JUST for the Vette to win? There was explaining of what the 911 is all about. People cross shopping the Vette and the 911 wouldnt buy the Vette or the 911 on NONE of this journalist's metrics. These metrics are just the journalists own personal views. Journalism is NOT about providing PERSONAL whims into play. THAT is just easy and lazy. Journalism provides FACTS. Not facts presented in a way to JUSTIFY a side. THAT is what that article does... Its OK... My view is what we say...subjective, maybe? You got that right. That journalist used his feelings to write about and therefore I could use mine as well to write my own journalistic point of view.... That journalist used nothing of fact to determine if the E-Ray is better. Just what he/she thinks is better. And I dont agree with that assessment. And Im allowed to. And I countered. And I wanted to show @David that wait a minute...the E-Rayis good. Excellent even. But...because the 911 is more expensive and the Vette is less expensive and does 90% of what the 911 does, THAT metric ALONE does NOT make the Vette to be a better choice. Its just in one metric. And the fact that the writer took SEVERAL 911s to prove that the E_Ray is better...just proves that the 911 is just a vehicle that has MANY trims that are lazer focused. The Vette is more of a Jack-Of-All-Trades sports car. NEITHER method is neither superior or inferior. But yeah...
