Calling them reviews is a bit of a stretch. Reviews have the potential for something negative to be said about a product. The manufacturers might as well write the review for the product themselves and send it in to the magazine with the product to be photographed. When was the last time that you saw a magazine call out a product as being the same thing with new decals and wheels, or admitting that a product was total garbage. I'd love to go back and find the reviews of the Losi Strike- probably touted as a race-bred competitor destined to dominate the short course class. Flip the page after the "review" and there's a 2-page spread for Horizon products.
