A Domestic beat out the new 328i and redesigned C300 in a Consumer Reports comparison! It beat a 3 Series!

So, how does that taste, CR?

I don't place much faith in Consumer Reports anymore after the whole Toyota blanket recommendation thing.

I've always wondered how skewed the CR results are as far as cars are concerned especially considering that Motor Trend recently announced the 2008 CTS as Car of the Year.....Seems the auto magazines tip the scales a bit every now and again.

I've yet to trust a CR review of any sort.  I most hopefully never will.

Well there was the Toyota thing then a few years back when benz came out with the ML 430 Consumer Reports gave it a best buy then had to retract it because of problems with the vehicle a year after purchase.
