Every time I see any article from Consumer Reports my blood boils. And then the media that picks this garbage up and makes it news.
This "unbiased" magazine is anything but.
They clearly have some sort of vendetta against the Big Three. Although recently they have turned Ford into their darling. Probably because Ford didn't take any bailout money. I think it's most likely because the Big Three are UAW represented and the rest of the industry isn't.
Even the much improved and better looking GM lineup (including our awesome Camaros) cant get a pound of value from IR.
However the way that IR does their reporting is so skewed and vague...who really knows where these "ratings" come from. They say it's from their subscribers...but even if that were true, if their subscribers read the magazine and then buy the recommended product...aren't they even more likely to recommend the same product?
They say they don't take advertising dollars...but did you know they take donations? They have a list in different issues. Makes you wonder who is donating and who they represent?
They shouldn't be called unbiased...they shouldn't be called Consumer Reports.
They should be called IMPORT Reports...
