In the "Newly Recommended category" - 47 cars were named, only 4 were domestic (3 if you consider that the Pontiac Vibe is a Toyota Matix with little changes). Of the 24 that were in the "Not Recommended category" only 8 were foreign made. Perception or not if the big 3 is going to get more public confidence they have to address these issues. I know that the consumer report is not what many auto enthusiasts would consider a definitive source for autos, this is one of the major references to the majority of people who are shopping for a good reliable car.

Or maybe Consumer Reports should quit sucking up to the import companies. Biggest load of hogwash I have seen in my life. They seem to have missed the memo that said that the Malibu was JD Power and Associates Best Midsize Sedan in Initial Quality...the camry and accord weren't even on the list.
