If you read the article you would have seen the MANY times they referenced Consumer Reports as a source of information.






Reading comprehension anyone?

If you read the article, you would have noticed that it was Forbes and not CR that decided to publish an article entitled "The Worst American Cars of 2006".

Whether or not CR is biased in favor of imports, they can't really be blamed for publishing a list of the worst American cars. They don't publish such a list. And they really have no control over whether or not another magazine decides to do so.







The fact that CR is biased towards imports DOES make a difference. Their articles are the exact ones that influenced over half the information in the Forbes article. Of course they don't publish a list of the worst American cars, that is not their job. But they provide almost all of the figures in owner satisfaction, etc which I've read are often inflated numbers and their results are based on too small of samples to make good generalizations.

I just don't personally trust Consumer Reports. I'd rather read testimonials of actual owners.
