I'm going to stand up for Consumer Reports. They are not perfect but they are much better than nothing. Just because a product they panned works fine for you does not prove they are wrong about their ratings. Not every panned product fails, not every car is totally unreliable or reliable for that matter.

Claiming that their motivation is money is silly considering they don't sell advertising.

They ain't perfect but they are better than the paid infomercials that pass for reviews in many other publications.
