Please tell me since when it was the job of reviewers to incite new products. Their job is to present their thoughts on what they are given.
If you want your cars to be praised, perhaps consider making something worth praising.

Iām not looking for praise. All Iām saying is if youāre going to give constructive criticism, then make an ACTUAL EFFORT and say what you think needs to be improvedā¦
Peace out.
Giving the middle finger is not a good way to prove your point, you see.

Im sorry, but how is one exactly how is one going to give constructive criticism when you show nothing? If you asked me to review a car just by looking at it without any information I wont be able to make any sort of proper judgement. The people who do the reviews on the forum arent telepathic, if they cant see the stats then they cant give a proper review.

Alright, if you want constructive critisicm, you should learn how to read the opinions of your consumers instead of prying it out of them with insults.
He posted his opinion as a passing thought, giving off the Impression that your teaser didnāt provide much food for thought, it was nothing to get riled up about but nothing to hold his opinion for more than a passing moment.
The lesson learned should be to try and make something more attention grabbing, and if it is poor looking, to improve upon it.

A statement regarding the current situation.
While my comments were certainly far from constructive, I am not a voice of constructive criticism. Iām not here to review what needs to be improved or what should be changed. My voice is not the be-all and end-all of the automobile. I simply speak my word and try to make it somewhat entertaining.

Zenshi Shinden Concept
The Shinden is a concept designed by Zenshi with what could probably be the most straightforward purpose ever: go fast around a track.
With someone familiar with Zenshi, one can see that this has similar lines to the Zenshi-Cavallera Seiryu. The shaping is similar, only that everything from the chassis to the panelling is composed of carbon fibre.
Using a 2.0L Turbocharged I4 designed from the ground up by Zenshi, it soars with a striking 542 HP and revs up to 10,000 RPM. Mated to a racing spec 6-Speed Dual Clutch and weighing in at a light 886 kg, the āsuperconceptā hits 60 MPH in less than 3 seconds, and gets itself up to 207 MPH.
Everything about the car is aerodynamics. Zenshiās and ZMDās design teams carefully made use of functional points of the body without, of course, sacrificing the styling. When the team planned out the Shinka layout, one of the designers wondered: āWhat if we started from the back first?ā And the rest followed through with it.
With a loud 4-cylinder and crazy speed, one has to wonder if such an insane machine will be used on any sort of road. Only time will tell.

I used to be skeptical about four-cylinder supercars - which the Shinden most definitely is - but I am now totally convinced, having seen its spec sheet. And it looks ace to boot!
Thank you for your participation in the Los Angeles Auto Show. We will continue activities soon.

Press Day 3
With the LA Auto Show now open to the public, itās time to go over what else was shown this years event.
Merciel proved yet again that normal cars neednāt be dull. The facelifted Verona is a seriously smart looking package, especially in the Touring model on display. The real focus, however, was very much on the motorsport side of things; the 2018 Vixen Rally Concept is absolutley phenomenal. It shouts pure fury mixed with technological class, and itās a welcome return to rallying for French rally masters. The 2018 Corsaire GTE has had a similar makeover, and is now being offered as a near $300k homolagation special. Sign me the f*ck up, driving one on the Yorkshire dales was livid enough. And in the meantime saving up for it, you can watch it (and many of the other upcoming GTE cars) in the WEC next year.
Montes released an interesting car, some sort of Resto-mod called the D25. Itās quite the pretty machine, and the low revving 2.5l V8 will certainly give it that 50s feel. At $207k though, itās quite an ask. One would have thought that a bit more power would have been far better, and especially no carburetors. Something a little more Eagle Speedster.
Conanās display continued with the very pretty S56. The British mid-size sedan is still overdoing it with the chrome, though the German styling hints certainly give it prestige, and the availability of i6s really is a nice touch. The S66, which certainly has a case of the copy-and-paste styling, but then again, it comes with a V12, and the other engines are named after places in the UK. Proper British goodness!
AL made a second announcement, revealing the Oriens RGXLECā¦I hope Iām typing that correctly. The styling is slightly better, though the quad-grille stack at the front looks frankly ridiculous. AL, you do not need that many vents on your car!
Wassermicht unveiled the positively dull C30R. Itās a very clean cut design, but it really doesnāt speak volumes, particular as a performance trim of the mid-size sedan. The promise of 500hp will certainly tempt some in this now very competitive market, but the looks arenāt going to take anyones fancy. Plus, $63000. Thatās seriously expensive for such a car.
āAmerican Sportscarā. I still donāt know if thatās even a phrase that makes sense, but itās a 500hp, 200+mph $50k coupe called the Maine Guayota. Screw how well or how awfully it handles, thatās a lot of performance for your buck. The back certainly looks good, though the front is a bit finnicky. It has that American semi-bling feel that we just donāt quite get over in the UK. However, should it come over to the UK, it could be a real proper bargain. How theyāre able to sell it for $50k is quite something though, and I worry it might be covering up some cost cuttings.
IMPās 260 R-Concept was shown, with very little information. The stark, if unfinished looking concept that certainly says āperformanceā, with that tinge of German efficiency youād expect. But, my word! The Germanās have painted the car purple! Is this what they called excitement?
Oh Zavir, how I love thee. Taking cues from the new Luna Spyder, the Nova Volante itās a really good looking car. Its sleekness really sells it, plus the details of the Z Sportivo model - a 533hp sports car - really is incredible. At $66k, thatās a seriously well priced car with those kinds of performance specs. Plus, you just know how much of a classic this is going to be in years to come.
Peace out to you too Miller. After a little debacle on Friday, the company closed up shop, and all that can be found on their website is now just a man flipping the bird. Real classy.
So ErinSport launched their new racecar. In other newsā¦
Shrometās Dragon has had a minor facelift, and is now even more graceful than before. The wing is a little less overt now, which is nice, and thereās no doubt about how sweet this thing looks in the front 3/4 view they had on their display. You can read my review of it here.
Zenshi closed up the day with the track-focused Shinden concept. It certainly has fury woven into its styling, and Iām sure Hot Wheels had some say on the rear end. The real matter of interest here is the performance, which should be the focus; it is track car. The short of it: 542hp from a 2.0l i4. The wars that have been raging in the the light-weight sports car market over how far the i4 can be pushed may as well end there, that is an incredible amount of power. No doubt that that engine would cost more than most cars to make alone and be about as reliable as recalled Saminda, but heck Iād love to drive this.
And with that, the show draws to a close, and another year of automotive development ends. Over to the organisers now to host the end-of-show polls, Iām heading out for one last night in LA. Adios!

@szafirowy01 @wassy4 Itās more that most of the other mid-size performance sedans that Iāve reviewed are a good $8k-$10k cheaper, it just pushes that cost factor too much personally. As for the Zavir, thatās comparatively cheaper than other sports coupes, hence the comment.

Zavir cheaper than something comparable? 
It canāt be!
