Others beat me to it, there wasnt much inherently wrong with what the article said. though yeah, it was mostly void of anything worth reading. Such is their desire to have clicks. Oh well.

This article seems to be a blog. Who knows, the person could have a degree in Journalism from Marquette, or they could just be some goof in mom's basement; who knows! :)
Information about the author is readily available via Google.

He lives in Bucharest, Romania, doesn't have a journalism degree, and got his break in the automotive world working as an intern with Jeremy Clarkson at Top Gear. He has social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, and his Contributor bio on AutoEvolution says the following...

Little did he knew back then, but a 1:43 scale model of a Ferrari 250 GTO is what sparked Mircea’s interest for cars when he was just a kid. Despite studying mathematics and informatics in high school and economics in university, Mircea turned his passion for all things automotive into a job.

Interning for Top Gear was his first foray in automotive journalism, and not long after that, a full-time position was opened for Mircea to seal the deal. Just about three years later, autoevolution became his new home.

Especially interested in American ponies and muscle cars, Mircea also finds the Japanese domestic market appealing thanks to the quirkiness of kei cars. Full-size pickups like the Ram 1500 and off-roaders such as the Ford Ranger Raptor and Jeep Gladiator Rubicon are much to his liking as well.

A self-described master of pasta and an avid CCG player, Mircea’s past-time activities include playing his Epiphone Les Paul Special Vintage Edition electric guitar, discovering the wonders of the Carpathian mountains by foot, and driving to the Black Sea to get a well-deserved tan.
