Ok, as much as you want to claim they don't know cars..................they do. They just don't look at cars the way Camaro enthusiasts do. They evaluate cars based on "regular" people. Those things are around usability, trunk space, features etc.
Go back and look at the "bitch list" from this very website. Poor trunk, poor visibility, plastic interior, poor storage, poor cup holder location relative to the shifter, poor rear seats, on and on........ That's how they look at cars. They don't let the passion of a Camaro, for example, over shadow the basics.
To get a CR Recommended Buy, covetted by all OEMs, you must have 3 things:
1 - basic safety equipment from their list.
2 - Better than average reliabilty from the survey (keep in mind you don't have to own one to rate one)
3 - Good rating for perforamance as evaluated by the magazine
Not saying it's awesome, but you have to understand the perspective. It took me a lonnnnnggggggg time to come to grips with it.
