Any time your read a review of something you can be guaranteed that there is going to be a few notables in the comment section that shine above the rest. This is not always a good thing. Especially when a smart ass like me is actively looking for material.
The 2012 Camry is starting to show up and has already been reviewed in a number of places. One place is by James Healey of USAToday. Like most reviewers I don’t always agree with him. There are times I think he is a flippin’ genius because he has picked out the exact same nuances I would have. There are other times I question his membership in the human race. But there is one thing I CAN say about him.
At least I can understand what the hell he’s typing. The same cannot be said about those who post in the comment sections below his columns. Case in point is a comment left just after his review of the 2012 Camry was posted. Someone please translate for me:
Well quite biased anti Camry review with a lot of nonsense in it. I believe this review has no merit because the author does not have clear idea what he is reviewing - family sedan or sports car. Anther thing -complete lack of fairness - by selling author's own opinion as a holly truth. In general car's outside look should not be reviewed at all because the exterior perception is very subjective and individual. Does the author has knowledge and/or degree and/or experience in auto design? If not what is his credibility to talk about design at all? I basically found Sonata's exterior design terrible - for me Sonata exterior design is 100 percent kitsch, which may be some people loved form of art but for me is pathetic. So please start talking about technical parameters and stop moaning about great Sonata's exterior.

I’m really not going into tearing this apart for two reasons. First, every time I read it my brain starts to hurt. Secondly, a regular in their comment section already did her best. I will add one thing though. From Webster:
Definition of kitsch:
- Something that appeals to popular or lowbrow taste and is often of poor quality
- A tacky or lowbrow quality or condition <teetering on the brink of kitsch - Ron Miller>
With that in mind here is one person’s definition of kitsch.
2012 Hyundai Sonata
That being said the person is entitled to their own opinion even though James Healy apparently isn’t.
So I’ll let the gibberish above slide and go with this one for Nutjob Comment of the Day. Taken from the same group of comments:
This guys a jerk

Clean, simple and to the point. What it has to do with cars I have no idea.
(You may have noticed that I don’t usually mention the name of the poster. I do give reference to where it is and if you like you can hunt it down. I’m just gonna let the words speak for themselves. And that’s the holly truth.)
