While I dont generally subscribe to, or agree with the findings of the
Consumer Reports automotive tests, calling them Liberal or Conservative is
a bit like calling a dictionary Liberal or Conservative. The last time I
saw a copy there was very little editorial content in CS just test reports.
I do feel that their auto tests are biased toward the import models
though, so I dont feel they're a valid source. A similar thing can be said
about the above post.
