CONFEDERATE MOTORS is suing a motoring website and publisher over allegations of defamation.
In an opinion piece from New York Auto Show, jalopnik.com's Wes Siler described the three models made by Confederate as, "scary pieces of rolling robotic art’
He went on to say: "And we mean rolling literally, because, according to anecdotal evidence from multiple owners and former employees, Confederate's motorcycles have proven so unreliable that you'll probably have to push them. In fact, it's surprising to see them at the New York Auto Show today since last we heard the Alabama-based company was being sued so heavily in state courts by disgruntled owners that they were unable to do business here."
This lawsuit may be off-putting for reviewers world over if the American manufacturer are successful, with more companies possibly looking to sue magazines over negative reviews.
