AUTO CENTRAL - September 16, 2015; The October 2015 issue of Consumer Reports features lots of car stuff, including their Best and Worst of 2015 and a sketchy look at Consumer Reports featured "Tiny SUV's.
We thought that our audience would be interested in comparing what The Auto Channel's senior editor's had to say about those same "Best and Worst" vehicles, and our opinion of the featured "Tiny SUV's".
Although for the most part we respect and admire the Consumer Reports' effort to “tell it like they see it” we wish to point out that sometimes they are wrong in their subjective opinion (like their take on the 2015 Kia Sedona) and their business decisions (like partnering with soon to be history non-consumer friendly TrueCar).
So read up and let me know what you think...bgordon@theautochannel.com
