Car and Driver: Mega-Powerful Peacocking ?

[Riviot]

My wife saw this on her Apple News feed but doesn't have Apple News+. Has anyone else seen this? With Car and Driver's incredibly "truthy" reviews to date, I really want to take the click-bait.

I read it when it first came out. Just a comparison between the BMW iX M60 and the R1S. Very critical of the way the R1S handles and it’s interior. It’s laughable when you make a title like that but then nit-pick the aforementioned “peacocks” in the most snobby way imaginable.

The guy who wrote this is a little bit of a jealous dick. I don’t have my Rivian to flex on others, I have it because I like it and can afford it. I don’t spend my time trying to impress other people because either they can buy all the same things I can or they cannot and either way it matters very little to me in my daily routine.

Truthfully I feel sorry for those who buy things simply because of some perceived status said thing gives you.
