Consumer Reports is notoriously biased towards the Jap cars. Must be on their payroll.
CR is biased toward Jap cars for the same reasons that sensible buyers are: because unlike Ford GM and Chrysler, they generally avoid building shiity cars. (Mitsubishi being a notable exception.) This is why the Chevy dealer bargains down from the sticker price, while the Honda dealer bargains up from it: just because the Chevy is a shiitier car.
