1303083 2012-09-24 07:42:00 "The surge of torque from 2000rpm where the peak occurs , is impressive"

Holden Colorado TV advert crap. How can there be a surge from a peak ???? After 2000rpm it is downhill all the way :banana

1303085 2012-09-24 08:40:00 At 2000 RPM the car is put into 1st gear abruptly. The result it certainly a surge of torque ;) The Error Guy (14052)

They also are so desperate for a positive review to site that they reference an online review!

Sorry, but for me an unknown reviewer from an unknown country, to an unknown online site with unknown connections / kickback from the manufacturers is not one to be given any credibility.

Ads seem to frequently talk BS pseudo science.
Like those ab developing exercise things... "uses the momentum of gravity to..."

Gravity does not possess momentum. Momentum is a consequence of mass and velocity, and even in a zero G environment a mass can have momentum.
But the only thing that training device is 'using' gravity for is to keep it on the floor. Oh, and to sell it to suckers.

1303092 2012-09-25 05:19:00 It's their Job to try and convince us it's great so we'll buy it.
It's our right as cynical consumers to completely ignore the hype and do our own research.

Some adds work, some I can't understand the purpose of. I like the tui adds, but I don't like the beer and no amount of advertising will change that.
As to the hype in this add, I think they have very carefully extracted the positive bits from reviews and I'd not be surprised if the full review had some not so positive comments as well.
