Michael Taylor

I have been testing cars and writing about the car business for more than 25 years. My career began in daily newspapers and developed into editorship of two automotive magazines. I’ve been based in Italy as a freelancer for more than a decade, covering the European car business, with a focus on product testing and product development for readers around the world. I judge the good and bad in cars how they perform their intended functions at their price points for their target customers against all of their competitors. I hold no short or long positions in the car industry, primarily because it could only compromise the integrity of my work, so my written positions are a condensation of available data mixed with about four full product cycles worth of experience.
