NEW YORK — In a stunning and embarrassing revelation, Consumer Reports on Thursday said it is retracting its recent scathing report on infant car seats because of faulty test procedures. http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/News/articleId=119271 What this means to me: The consumers bible really fumbled the ball in the end zone for a safety.

Replying to: nippononly (Nov 15, 2006 1:05 pm) Have you met some of them? Living where we do, I'd reckon you know maybe two or three, Nippon. I know four owners personally. Most automotively benighted pack of socially-concious granola hounds I've ever met, though bright and wonderful folks every one. Berkeley, Piedmont, Moraga and Danville residents, they are the perfect auto-as-appliance buyers. Devotion/zealotry: the line is rather blurry, time to time.  Kudos to the Big T says I. |

Replying to: wale_bate1 (Jan 23, 2007 8:09 am) Even in an alt universe, none of these people would be enthusiasts though, except one guy (married, one child) who goes everywhere with his eyes glued to the power direction monitor, and makes an "enthusiastic" challenge to himself with every drive to maximize electric-only propulsion. You wouldn't want to be behind this guy pulling away from stoplights, believe me - when I ride with him, sometimes I duck down so people driving by can't see me.  Now I will say that the only two who are tracking mpg are doing better than 50, that none have had any problems with their cars, and that all would probably buy another if asked.
