if the 'cringe-worthy' headline came from driving.ca it's just typical click bait headlining

That was (largely) the case with the DTS...not so much for the newer sedans. The main issue is that so many people have just become enthralled with crossover SUVs....the obsession has simply become astronomical.

The DTS was one of those (quite rare) vehicles where the stereotype actually DID fit the actual demographic....it was (and is) quite rare to see someone driving them that is not AARP-qualfied.

Perhaps, but I don't know if reddit is any worse than the constant, vulgar (even obscene) comments seen daily on the AOL News comment-feedback. With CL-standards of moderating, those people wouldn't last five minutes.
