Guys.....don't get this confused with CONSUMER REPORTS. They are two completely different publications, which evaluate and rate vehicles in different ways.

Very true mmarsharll, Consumer reports factors in reliability and safety(along w/ drivability/ price/ comfort & features) in there recommendations which is why I prefer CR over CG. I just ended my 1 month free subscription to Consumer Reports & the wealth of information I got off of that site was incredible!
