I suscribe to Consumer Reports and the main Toyota vehicles i would be
interested in are always at the top of the pack.
that is.. Sienna, Tundra, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4 and I expect the new
RAV6


Consumer Reports has a "thing" with Toyota and has for years.


Wasn't Consumer Reports involved in a little problem with selling
ratings or some other unethical practices a few years ago?

I've been taking CR for quite a while now, and I don't recall that. Any
info on it?

Bert is mixed up with the story about one of the smaller SUV
manufacturers complaining when CR said their vehicle was tipsy if driven
too fast into curves.

Consumer Reports ratings become a little suspect when they continue to rave
about a certain vehicle while the manufacturer is issuing massive recalls
and owners are complaining about quality issues. Toyota went through a
period of this (as do all manufacturers from time to time) but Consumer
Reports never blinked in their ratings.
