The root problem is that their testing "methods" are completely

Says who? Care to offer documented examples? They've screwed up from time
to time but they've also admitted it when it's happened. I'd certainly put
more faith in them than in some magazine that relies on advertising revenue
to survive and thus is highly unlikely to give any product a bad review.

If you want to believe they have a clue, then by all means, follow
them wherever they go.

Aside from their product testing the feedback they get from consumers
breakdowns and repair costs etc. seems useful. CR might not be perfect but
in a world where most magazines and websites are little better than shills
for companies with products to sell I still consider CR a valuable resource.


I have this bridge I need to sell quickly at a bargain price. You seem
like a smart fella...
