His comment about the back seats is hilarious.

I saw this a while back, but did not bother to post because the guy is completely clueless. The part he is calling "cheap plastics", is actually real aluminum. The paddle shifters are made of magnesium (I heard someone else call them plastic). That is what made the review cr*ppy for me.

He is talking about RCF's weight while being clueless that RS5 and C63 both weigh as much or more than the RCF. Also, the new Mustang GT is within a few pounds of the RCF. Even Kia Stinger or Q60 red sport that don't compete with the RCF, weigh about the same. It is almost like the popular rhetoric. People would start regurgitating the same thing without checking the facts.

Well said.

This will further suppress the "market price" for the RCF so I can pick up another RCF AT MY PRICE!!!

Some of these YouTube commentators DO NOT know what they are talking about.

Good call Rolla. What a tool...
**Off Topic: One thing I never understood, and intensely despise, is the incredibly annoying annunciation Reviewers and Reporters have when running their mouths! Why in the world would anyone want to talk with such abbreviated, cliffhanger sentences? (Cant forget their Bobble Head nods too!) Any journalists out there able to explain the ridiculous point of this any better than Google does?

It is just the age of social media. Anyone and his brother can start a channel and can become a reviewer. The quality of content is destined to go down when there is no criteria to meet.
