One thing, I laughed at the Consumer Report postings and with some of the
products which rated poor where the best products I ever used. Dodge
products as a whole was rated by the JD Powell, who has a better reputation
than Consumer Reports, that Toyota was no different than the Chrysler
products on complaints. But a real concern was the Mercedes and BMW were no
different either. A real surprise was the Buick line was better than
Toyota. Not a surprise was the Honda was rated at the top five best ever.
I reported the complaints per thousand about three months ago on this web
site, depicting Trucks and vans (remove the cars). Go to the JD Powell web
site for further information. This was the reason I stopped subscribing to
the Consumer Report and not listening to RALPHO NAAARRDER.

Subject: DML: Consumer Reports!!!!!
Today on Good Mroning America they were talking about the best cars for
2000
Guess who showed up as best truck for 2000?
TOYOTA TUNDRA!!
I'd love to know how they did that because the Tundra has only been out
for about a year and usually reliability problems dont come out so early.
Second Pick: Ferd F150
Here comes the dinger: Unfortunately, they "could not reccommend the
Chevy or Dodge trucks because of RELIABILITY PROBLEMS"
all I can say is "Yikes"
I dont like consumer reports and I never will. I've never taken any of
their reviews seriously either. One time they said the Ford Expedition
"handled excellently" ("yeah, compared to what, a schoold bus??")
