Your letter is vastly better than the vast majority they print after their comparison features, most of which run along the lines of "why didn't you pick my car?" You're right; their criteria are inconsistent, and at the end of the day, they simply pick the car they probably leaned towards all the time. They could save some gas and just write their article without driving the cars. Here is a template they could use:
All of our editors liked the [insert name of favorite car here]. This marque has always defined driving excellence, one might even say the relentless pursuit of perfection. This exceptional vehicle gave us no surprises that we weren't capable of ignoring, and the interior was fabulous. We were able to get five of our reviewers in this car simultaneously, as this is the place all of them wanted to be. The sixth reviewer, well, he sulked around until it was his turn to sit in the [insert BMW - oops, I mean name of favorite car]. In fact, we reviewed the other cars in this story simply by looking at them through the windows of this car.
We relegated the [insert name of car you have never liked] to last place, based on its lackluster performance. We remember every single little thing this car did to wrong us and hurt our feelings. During our photo shoot, we repeatedly had to change our camera angle because of glare from the windows. Considering that we were photographing from inside the [insert name of previous favorite car], this meant actually moving the car we were sitting in, which did provide us with an opportunity to drive the [again insert name of previous favorite car]. As the [insert name of unlikable car] was being backed off the transport truck for our photo shoot, we were unimpressed with the exhaust note and especially the color of the car. One of our reviewers thought that the left windshield wiper was parked in a little bit high position, compared to the right, and the car really needed waxing. It looked like somebody had left it out in a rainstorm. We did open the trunk, and we will admit that we could not find any faults with the trunk, although we did not measure its size or try to put something in it. After all, this is a publication about driving cars, not putting suitcases in them. When the car was put back on the transport, to complete our brief but lackluster contact with this [insert same name of car - make sure you don't put in another brand of car you don't like here, or this paragraph will not make sense!] one of our reviewers noticed mud on the underbelly. Apparently, somebody drove this car at some time, but we were not told who it was.
