Then why don't you go survey about a million and a quarter car owners and report on your findings? CR stays in business because they make their readers happy. They're not going to make them happy by steering them into crappy cars. I finally started to consult CR before I bought cars just a few years ago. As a result, I have been buying Toyotas. I have 4 Toyotas, 3 purchased used, now at an average age of 7.3 years, with 10.1 years of ownership and 108,000 miles of driving and ZERO problems. They look good, they don't squeak or rattle and the offer a good combination of fuel economy and performance. Maybe I'm gullible but I'm also happy to follow CRs advice. What are the other options? Listen to you? Hah! > -- > David M (dmacchiarolo) > http://home.triad.rr.com/redsled > T/S 53 > sled351 Linux 2.4.18-14 has been up 18 days 27 min That's nothing. We had individual Vaxes run for at least two years and Vax clusters up for longer than that. And we weren't a 24X7 shop, that's just how Vaxes worked. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com

Listen to you? Hah! You could base your purchases on opinions from an illiterate retired used car salesman who pukes "information" in this newsgroup on a daily basis. :-)

Then you'd deserve to buy a POS that costs more money in the long run than that "overpriced" Toyota ever could. :-P Natalie
