Everyone knows it. Car and Driver is inclined towards BMWs, Road and Track likes Porsches (even though the 370Z is half the price and had a better lap time at the Nurnburg, not to mention their amazing and frankly revolutionary Syncrorev Match system), and many other magazines, television shows, and yes even blogs, have bias towards certain brands that are a tradition or are secretly throwing them under-the-table money (not that this actually happens that I know of). Even I give into my bias occasionally, such as supporting Chris Bangle and Detesting Hummers without ever actually driving one. but I try to be unbiased when I can. Anyways, I think somebody should start a campaign against biased automotive media. They could rally supporters into sending thousands of complaint letters in and flooding their mail, or launch an online protest through the various forums and networking sites. Either way, we want to get rid of bias in the automotive media and have fairer comparisons.
