Do journalists even research when they write these articles?
In terms of the competition, a Volkswagen Golf GTI with its 2.0-litre turbo will out-accelerate the GTC Sport, covering 0-100km/h in 6.9 seconds. Even the Polo GTI three-door – offering the exact same power (132kW) comes with a more sporting power-to-weight ratio of 9.0kg:kW (it’s even in the vehicle segment below the GTC). The Polo does 0-100km/h in just 7.0 seconds. It is a lot lighter though, weighing in at just 1189kg.
The GTC isnt exactly competing against the Golf GTI, and then comparing it to the Polo GTI, saying that its better even though its in a segment under the GTC

Only good aspect of their report was how they liked the handling. Given they were comparing that against the Golf, I have hign hopes for the OPC.
