re: Consumer Reports release 2020 predicted reliability by brand

I don’t think it’s bad data, I think it’s simply reinforcement data by the readers that they made the ‘correct’ choice.

I don’t know enough about their ‘studies’ to comment on the scientific validity. I don’t like the publication and it doesn’t ring true to me as a ‘test kitchen’ type of service.

I worked for Underwriters Laboratories out in Santa Clara and there was always beef. Hard to explain, but we tried to make products better by changing build and test Codes and they try with...well sure AF not working through the safety commission. They just seem to talk a lot of shite for a company who changes nothing...but they’re ’all for the consumer’.

Probably out of place when discussing cars...but I’ve regretted every vehicle purchase I made for reliability.
