How do you know that it isn't objective?

But!!! Any test that say the Prius does 23mpg,
and not worth read and the mag gets thrown in the bin . never to be bought
again.

It isn't reasonable to assess this on the number of publications that
say one thing vs. the other. The writers of articles for all of
them are open to question and in most spheres rely on information that
the manufacturer feeds them. This is certainly true in the IT world
and must be in the motor world as well because most writers for IT
magazines write for bike and car magazines the rest of their time.

I would want to see validated numbers from an independent and credible
lab.



or didn't toe the party line?

Come again? You have Maggie on the brain.


Well..... I am not a fan of Maggie any more than any other politician.
However, whether you agreed with her or not, there was never any doubt
about wher eshe stood on most issues. This is no longer true for any
politician that I can see of any party, and Herr Blurr is worse than
most in terms of telling you what you want to hear.
