I picked up the Consumer Reports on the magazine stand at the grocery store to see what they said about the Fiat Cinquecento (500) and when looking in it got a BIG surprise! To quote the immortal Fred Sanford: "It's the Big One... You hear that Elizabeth... I'm comin' to join ya', honey!".

Listed under best buys (or whatever the phrase was, I'm still in shock) was: Fiat 500. Dodge Charger. Chrysler 300. Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, & VW Routan (under the same listing)

What is happening? Is this the end of everything as we know it?

Hell hath frozen over.

Are we talking best buys or recommended? Anyone? Thinking of doing a news item on this.

 

[RVC]

Someone at CR is probably yelling "stop the presses, we F'd up our best buy section!!!!"

 

[UN4GTBL]

I assume best buys, and not recommended...

 

[JRS200x]

CR really likes the new 300 and Charger. Has since they came out.

The T&C and Grand Caravan.. that one i don't get, they always dog them.

Surprised the Dart isn't on that list (shrug)

Maybe cost is the issue.

I'd say OP picked up Consumer GUIDE.

Consumer Reports ≠ Consumer Guide.

Consumers Union has decided to make the Medical Device Industry the focus of their attention. The Automotive industry is no longer their main target.

They seem to "like" Chrysler products

I wonder if that is a function of thier aging readership.

Best buys though!

Time for the moderators to change the thread title.

 

[Stratuscaster]

Fixed.

 

[Dave Z]

Dang it. Oh, well.

CR is likely changing due to David Champion leaving.
