A. people who write for magazines usually haven't much of a
personality themselves. :)

B. people who write for automobile magazines usually think all
automobiles should look and drive like Ferraris or Porsches or, in the
case of Consumer Reports, Ford Crown Victorias. :)

C. people who go around saying, especially in print, that this or that
automobile has no "personality" most often do not know what
"personality" is ... to them, "personality" means "expensive": cheap
cars have no "personality"; only Ferraris, Porsches, etc. have
"personality".

D. the writer is likely highly pissed cause she/he wasn't sent to the
auto show where the Ferraris, Porsches, etc. were being
shown/tested/etc. :)
