Two more positive reviews for the Rondo, but I'll introduce them with some commentary.

I'm starting to wonder just how objective these reviews really are, especially the ones appearing in newspapers. Check out any newspaper and there's usually a special section that appears every week that's all about vehicles. This section is chock-full of large, colourful ads for the biggest dealerships in town, with a handful of articles interspersed among them for good show. Clearly, these weekly ads are a major revenue earner for the newspapers.

Just read this review at the Colorado Springs Gazette. Doesn't it sound suspiciously like an infomercial? Check out their reviews for other vehicles and every single one is positive (as far as I can tell).

It's the same story at the Goldsboro News-Argus, although this review is more typical and doesn't include statements from the dealership staff like the Gazette review. Again, it seems as though all of their reviews are thumbs up.

Anyway, that's just my observation, although it's hardly earth shattering. I think a "No kidding, Sherlock" might be called for here.
