I've got some reviews coming up myself that should be up over the next few days (Pilot, MDX and TLX.) As alluded to above, it would certainly be interesting to review some of our members personal cars, regardless of if it's stock or heavily modified.

Honestly would love to, but it's very difficult to get two rivals from either members or dealers. But will definitely look into it

get two members with lightly moded examples and do a comparo!
Or even...... comparo of past vs present: ae86 comparison to FR-S.

E36 m3 vs m2?
You can use my 740i, assuming it's still running by the time you get around to it :P

should make videos :thumbsup:
that's coming up, video is a lot harder consider the initial costs, Currently I don't have a camera that can take 1080 at 30fps and my computer is aged a bit so editing wont be the most entertaining part of the process. However I am looking to upgrade both of those in the near future so stay tuned.

that might work, just gotta find a set of cars, and of course working on three different people's schedule is hard but I will try.
E36 m3 vs m2?
lol more like e46 vs m2, bmw is hard to get as a loaner but will look into it.

I want to have cars that's more unique or something that people are looking for, though the 740 you have is quite unique not many people would be brave enough to buy one and keep it running.
I just want to say thank you for everyone for their feedback as well as the people who are offering up their own vehicles for me to drive, I together with the revscene review team will try our best to make the reviews more enjoyable for everyone.

Here's an interesting one - I've noticed more and more pick-up trucks showing up in the "Post Your Whips" thread.
Review a couple of pick-up trucks, compare them to the usual tuner cars that people have on RS.
I'll volunteer my 2015 Ram 1500 Sport, and I'm sure others will as well.

Borrow Gululu's Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Or a Ghost / Flying Spur / recent gen S-Class, 7 Series. Yes, I know it's a farther stretch and hard to borrow one of those. But would be interesting to a review in that segment, reviewed+driven by an 'average Joe'.

Here's a review of an ITR that some of you wanted, on the front page. Car is from a fellow RS member.
Review: 2000 Honda Integra Type-R (Modified) - REVscene.net - Vancouver's Top Classifieds and Automotive Forum (http://www.revscene.net/review-2000-honda-integra-type-r-modified/)
Also, don't mean to steal the thread here but I've been posting review on the front page of RS for some time now and I've got lots more on my site including from fellow RS members. Do you guys want me to start posting reviews on the forum instead?

^Looks like the rebuilt ITR that was for sale a little while ago for $8200
So my brother bought a 2017 Ford Fusion Sport AWD. He was showing it to me today. I was like 'meh' another refreshed gussied up trim package.
Then I drove it and read the spec sheet online and found this.
2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 that pumps out 327 horsepower and 380 pound-feet of torque delivered to all four wheels
**The 2017 Lincoln MKZ supposedly massages that number out to 400 horsepower
I must say it was pretty easy to get the needle lost in the speedometer. Perhaps a worthy review? Maybe with a narrative about how people are flocking to SUVs without a good reason other than market hype?
My brother has a 5 year old and an 8 month old child and still ended up with a spacious, quiet yet athletic sedan while saving thousands toward an SUV equivalent.

The grammatical errors such as the misuse of commas and run-on sentences are quite glaring in the reviews. I think it would help if you had another pair of eyes (or two) to help proofread the text. Although it's only a forum-post review, fixing the grammar would make both you and the review come across as more professional.
Other than that, the reviews have gotten better in terms of what they cover and the photography. The initial ones seemed like reiterations of spec sheets. Keep up the good work!

Proper text+article formatting would be nice. Right now its just randomly Photo, Photo, WALL OF TEXT, Photo and etc. Good automotive journalism generally follows a pretty well defined formatting standard for good reason. Unfortunately nowadays no one will read anything more than a few lines at a time.

Proper formatting is hard for vB forums. I'd love to be able to do wrap around text or something like that, but I haven't figured out how to do that on here. Anyone have any tricks?

Proper punctuation has never been my strong suit. :p

Yea I've noticed a bunch of errors after going through them again.
Not to make excuses but I'm getting married in 2 days and I've been more concentrated on that more than anything else. But will try to improve my skills as I write along.
I do want to thank everyone for the feedback, without it I would not know where the errors are. I appreciate the love that's given and will keep at it!.

Hey guys, it's been a while and things have going pretty well in my eyes.
So far we got some good content up on our site, I'm pretty excited as I got a new rig so I should be able to get video reviews up soon. My question is, the later reviews I've posted on the front page is that something that you guys see or do you generally just enter the forum?

I don't go on front page because I didn't notice any value there. I wouldn't know if it has changed, my bookmarks are straight to forum
