2. Its the Consumer Reports awards that count

The ones that are awarded by the amount of advertising they give the magazine.

6. "North American" car of the year?

That's a little like an award for the best poop in the toilet.

7. Of course, the peanut gallery farts.......

:eyes:

8. An award which Honda and Toyota and the new favorite with the "in-crowd", Hyundai have won.

[DainBramaged]

10. And General Motors, Ford and Chrysler many more times....

your point? None.

11. since this person seems to think that because it's "North American" there's some sort of bias....

...towards the "Big 3", I was trying to make the point that it's not just cars from the "Big 3" that win. I don't think he can accept that the Japanese / Korean companies can lose to an American-based company...

12. I agree, and that's par for the course on anti-Union anti Domestic DU

13. the Toyota cultists can't handle the fact that the Big 3 are making a HUGE comeback and that

appliance manufacturer Toyota is on a steep decline.
