Yes. I think they only included cars locally sold in the US.

Consumer Report & Forbes are two very different magazines.

I love how this article has made it to the evo and sti boards so quickly, they are the majority of the "votes" in that poll. Go evo!!!

I used to swear by consumer reports, but my other passions (woodworking and home entertainment) taught me how short sighted they are on a lot of things. I think they review the bread-and-butter products in every field quite well, but when you get into the upper echelon, then they lose their way fast.

Like recommending a Pioneer receiver over a Marantz because the Pioneer was easier to set up. Yeah, more features and better performance will always require more setup.

Same with cars. If you're considering a Tercel, Civic, and Focus and want help choosing, I'm sure they will help. If you're looking at the EVO, SRT4, and STI, They'll probably point you to the one most like a boring family sedan.

I've never seen forbes review cars before. I'll have to check that out.

I agree, I think CR is a good publication, but they are not geared for the enthusiast, they are geared towards people who want the minimum amount of hassle from the products they buy. A lot of people view a car the same way we might view a washing machine or dishwasher, and for them CR is the way to go. I would never recommend an evo to someone who doesn't care very much about cars; they wouldn't be happy with the compromises they'd have to make.

Guys we're only leading by 4 votes (63 vs 59 for the STi). We can do better than that.
