Some elements of this text to consider:
- The photos are a quite common feature of reviews and are a necessary complement to the descriptive text
- Obviously only a tiny fraction of readers would seriously consider buying a Bentley but the audience for the article is broader than just potential buyers
- Unlike some other car reviews, this one includes a fair bit of information about Bentley’s overall sales / business situation. This car review does not actually discuss the specifics of the car until quite late into the text.
