I know what you mean, 92f150I6. It looks like they left out pick-up trucks. After all since the F-series and Siverado are the #1 and #2 best selling vehicles in America, one would think they would have had pickups in that line up. Oh wait the new Tundra has not been out long enough to have been put through the tasks of the real world. They may or may not stand up, only time will tell. So if it does not have a "T" or an "H" or a product related to them on the front grille and has a chance to shine here, then to CR and many other media sources, its not worth talking about. That is really frustrating to hear that none of those cars are from our "Big 3". I do not want to go into brand bashing. I am sure these cars that they selceted are good in their own respects. But I am just so sick and tired of all the anti-Ford, anti GM, or anti DCX rhetoric. The Big 3 make good cars too, despite what many people think. I feel like us Ford truck guys are constantly being talked down to by the "auto experts". The Big 3 may be in financial trouble, but I and many other people do have great experiences with our vehicle, especially Ford trucks. If the 2 best selling VEHICLES are American Trucks, our boys in Dearborn must be doing something right. Everyone has their own theories why they have good sales, but IMHO Ford has always made great trucks. Of course there is always room for improvements, but no one is perfect, not even Honda or Toyota.

Aveo = Daewoo (GM owns a chunk of Daewoo)
CR rated the "upscale" Infiniti over a Toyota Avalon? Must be the styling, because the Avalon is really a V6 version of the Lexus.
