The CR magazine listing best buys is on news stands now. This is a separate publication from the monthly magazine.

Take anything automotive CR says with a LARGE grain of salt. They just love Honda and Toyota.

Well I KNOW honda and toyota make great little cars, but I would be more interested to see the consumer list for trucks. Just figures though, they make you pay to see it!

CR sez the Honda Ridgeline is the best truck they've tested.

What does that tell you?

In Ford parts number terms, CR has their 6049 up their 4001!

Great point, they have been hammering on Ford for years and it seems as soon as they CR report something positive about Ford, it becomes the grail.

My buddy used to drive a 83 dodge, and there was a place where a 24 pack would sit, right under the hood! Cops never checked there! The downside to taht is the beer got pretty warm after awhile!
