Why does it always come down to GM. . . .Hell Mazda, Nissan, VeeDub, Mercedes, Land Rover, Honda. . . . .These car companies all make cars I would own. . . . Why do you always think I am sticking up for GM?

I dislike CR because they do not cater to what I consider most important in a vehicle. . . .performance. I also dislike them due to their flawed sampling and inconsistent use of their "perceived quality" scoring (brand new Tundra got a Good for perceived quality, IIRC, yet shares nothing with the old model. Meanwhile, other reskinned cars/trucks, not redesigned but reskinned, got a "no data available" for their perceived quality. Why does a total redesign get a "Good" perceived quality, but a MCE get's a "no data available"?). Like I said, CR is not for car enthusiasts, it is for those that know nothing about cars. . . .

Besides, to take one publications advise and base a purchase on that, and only that, is idiocy. It's like being diagnosed with an illness and not seeking a second opinion. Anyone who does that is not an informed patient/consumer. . . . CR IS NOT THE END ALL BE ALL OF AUTMOTIVE COMPARISONS (far from it)!!!
