The way that 'review' was written, I'm guessing that:

(a) the reviewer is 13.
(b) he never actually drove one

The review really doesn't say anything. I mean, really, go back and read it again.

That had to be the worst review...for any car I've read so far. The review lacks intelligence...This is just a Scion fan boy

I think the author nailed it when he wrote "then add lightness".

Ummm....

WTF is that supposed to mean?

The author is an imbecile. It's amazing how people who have little grasp of writing can get published these days.

That was terrible. You can tell the writer is trying very hard to be clever.

onz: He is just trying to be clever, referencing Colin Chapman whose design philosophy was, "simplify, then add lightness." Recently Blipshift put this on a T-Shirt, and this child is likely referencing said T-Shirt.

I didn't know they put out an Orange Z in 2013. I thought it was Magma Red. But thanks for playing.

Colin Chapman? I know Jeremy Clarkson's said that in regards to Lotus
Simplify and add lightness


EDIT: I just remembered that Colin Chapman was the designer

I was in love with my 40th's color.

It's been like getting used to one's second wife.

Sometimes, it looks purple to me (in some light).

But....

I do love it.

It's less purple to me and more aquamarine in bright sun. Still , which I like.
