Whatever

Know how I can tell that this article is full of shit? By this one sentence:

"For the second year in a row, GM is the most reliable domestic car company."


Reading through the entire article, their primary criteria for reliability seems to be how well the "infotainment" systems function. Yeah okay right. Whatever, Consumer Distorts.

Remember that this is the company which went out of their way to paint the Ford Explorer as a rollover hazard -- and by "out of their way," I mean they rigged the tests so it would fail. There exists video (which Consumer Reports have done their very best to scrub from the web) showing a Consumer Reports tester howling with glee as they finally get a Ford Explorer to roll over -- at nearly three times safe cornering speeds.

If Consumer Reports tells you the sky is blue, you'd best walk outside and check to be sure.
