Default "Winding Road" review of 08 xB

I can't figure out if it's possible to link directly to the review, and you may need to subscribe (it's free) to read the magazine.

Let's say the review is mixed. Like many of the reviews of the xB2, they can't really find anything bad to say about the car itself, so they just compare it to the xB1 and say "nice that it's bigger and more powerful, but now it's too bland."

Most reviews of our cars will probably look like this. If you don't "get it" then you are just reviewing the car by its own merits, which is a very nice, roomy hatchback with good modern features like side curtain airbags and stability control. If you do "get it" then theres no reason to even glance at reviews

I suggest you all subscribe anyway, its a very good publication

It's also superior to print magazines that are often out of date by the time they come out... oh, and did I mention Winding Road is free? :D

I'll subscribe if you'll vouch for them being non-biased...thus far, all the review sites / magazines I've seen are so obviously dripping with ad-revenue-bait that it's sickening. =6 Except Consumer Reports, and The Truth About Cars, that is. Other than them two, everyone is either fishing for ad dollars from the Big 2.2 or can't conceive that a vehicle might have a purpose other than going very fast.

Actually, you bought an xB and you like it, so I guess that's vouching enough =)
