As far as having a right to criticize something. I think the dimensions and weight specifications provide enough for some people to do just that. I myself have seen new R8's and R9's with my own eyes and that was enough to make up my mind. I wasn't even tempted to handle them. Anything that big that did so little was not going to end up in my bag. I didn't have to handle it to arrive at that conclusion and I retain my right to say so. Along with the lack of bang-for-the-buck (not many features). I'm not a feature nut, mind you. Who would use an M if they were?
