Consumer Reports is an echo chamber, I don’t trust anything they put out.

That is a pretty difficult position to argue with cars at least since all their data comes from member/owners that fill out pretty extensive questionnaires every year.

They also are fairly insulated given they don't take ad dollars.

Reading probably a dozen brand-specific car forums regularly I would say in general terms they are more accurate than anyone else especially JD Powers.

None of this means you aren't going to get a Lemon Lexus or a Peach Caddillac.
