During the 60's, C/R would consistently report the 6 cylinder Ford 500 {or a
similar POS} it's "Best Buy". So much for them as being auto experts.

Who else does what they do?
The IIHS crash tests them but nothing else. The magazine road tests provide
another data point but aren't particularly impartial. Look at all the
MB/BMW/Porsche tests where the mags practically wet themselves at times. And a
lot of their "data" is skewed by who is buying big display ads that month.
Motor Trend comes to mind although I don't know anyone who even pages
through it free at Barnes & Noble.
