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)!!!
You are a GM apologist tried and true.

You are negative or dismissive about all things toyota.

You post in this "International Toyota Enthusiast Community" only to bash.

Then you complain when you get called out.

You say you are just being "fair" yet you try to spin every topic negative for Toyota.

Some Examples:

CR Loves toyota, excellent news for any Factory to hear about themselves, you say "CR is useless"
Toyota offers incentives to it's dealers to buy a Tundra for Parts delivery, completely normal in the industry, you say "looks like bad news for the new truck launch"
Toyota offers rebates to consumers on it's 1/2 ton reg cab (omg rebates on a truck?), you say "looks like bad news for the truck launch"

Every time you post your negative spin, I'll be here to point out that fact. I've got plenty of time.

The best part is you complain when toyota enthusiasts in a toyota forum are happy about the product. That sounds like idiocy to me.
