There is a very extesive database of ferrari's but there are pletny of people that just want to read about their Opel Astra or VW Golf. IMO if there are proper articles about that too it will atract many more people.

You are right, it is easy to "review" (cut 'n' paste press releases) for Astras and Golfs, which is why everyone else already does that.

Even if you go to the trouble of producing a more time consuming in-depth report and test drive, you would still end up with something that has been written 100 times before in every car magazine on the planet.

The time that would go into providing another version of something already so widely distributed and available is much better spent on producing articles on Ferraris and such like that are barely touched upon aside from a handful of sources.

no Break, and there is not going to be one...

CX estate then?

nothing wrong with the current one..

Though econoboxes of 30 years ago were far more interesting than most of today, I do agree that age and subsequent increasing rarity, do much the appeal and interest of every car.

Not necessarily. There are some econoboxes made now that are interesting. Like the Fiat Panda or the Toyota Aygo.

I like the Aygo. Don't ask me why. Looks fashionable, like an I-Mac or an I-pod. Don't know if this is good, but anyway...

And what about the Panda 100HP? That's said to be cracker. I'm so looking forward to the 500 100HP.

Now that will be something. Anyway we're back to the beggining: it's a retro inspired car.

Alright, but the Panda isn't (apart from the name). It's a shame that is that tall, though.

There is room for everybody on the internet.

Photographs (the main offering of UCP) is really interesting. But UCP also offers discussion about cars. Now, where does everyone gets information so as to participate at the UCP discussions?

That's Right..... From sites such as Autozine (and others)

I don't think that it's correct to "bash" a site such as Autozine because it doesn't have hi-res pics. These demand a lot of money for servers etc. Autozine is a back-to-basics site offering the gist of the automotive information!

All i wanted to point out was that it is very easy to create a few good quality reviews of ordinary cars here. There is a very extesive database of ferrari's but there are pletny of people that just want to read about their Opel Astra or VW Golf. IMO if there are proper articles about that too it will atract many more people.
Thats just my point of view and i think i'll leave it at that

Then Write one

Noone is bashing here. But if someone puts things in comparison, it's obvious the truth must come up.
But I don't agree the info you get to participate on UCP discussions needs come come anywhere else than UCP. Unless when the talk gets boring.

would you care to elaborate on this?

[McReis]

I wasn't very clear, indeed.
I meant that only boring conversations are based on what comes form other websites.

You are right. I just couldn't fight the right word, so I wrote it in quotes. My bad
