It all seems fair enough to me - if he is deemed to give a biased view of the Audi R8 he will lose his audience so it's in his and Audi's interests for him to give his real view. He does draw attention to negatives too, such as the small boot space. So while I can understand concerns over bloggers being bought, when they are given products to test and write about I'd much prefer that they say this is the case rather than not mentioning that they've been given the product to try. It's up to the blogger to be objective when reviewing products and give negative comments where appropriate.
