I know you do but it is a shame you cannot pick up a review in a magazine and read it and take it for face value anymore. |
I don't think it's fair to say that consumer reports has bought reviews. If you actually look at their stringent review process they are one of the few review places with a long history of editorial independence

You might not agree with their findings but they really aren't influenced by advertising since they accept none. Unlike most other review mags and websites.
Most of their car reviews focus on reliability over performance features and in that category have the data from their readers to backup their claims. Not surprising they picked a suby when you take that under consideration. Like someone else said bang for the buck.
