Yep... They had a few different variations on the theme of “Buy this, pretend you have a luxury car.”

The interior feels like a Mercedes! We swear! Here, look at these non-paid actors and valets vouching for it!
Let’s see:
Dildo in a fruit basket is my Spinal Tap tribute band name
If you’re not watching their podcast/vlog “Talking Cars with Consumer Reports” you’re missing out. You can find all 110 episodes on their YouTube channel. It’s kind of dry sometimes but it’s very honest and nuanced in addressing the strengths and weaknesses of the cars they review and feedback they receive from…
It’s time for everyone’s favorite game!!!
Where do you get your fruit baskets from????
I think it’s because there’s so few bad cars and so many good cars.
Consumer Reports may test cars like they test refrigerators, but they’re great for telling it like it is when it comes to real world day to day driving - which is the way most people spend time in their cars.
The used car deals aren’t “so good” for all cars, either. There are some vehicles with insane value retention - to the point that you can really make an economic argument for buying them new, rather than gently used.
To be fair, I don’t know if the common belief that “teens are more likely to crash, so let’s give them the cheapest car to crash” is particularly wise. I mean, it makes sense from a financial perspective, but there’s something to be said about wanting to minimize your kid’s chances of getting crushed in an 20 year old…
A diesel Volvo 240 was my first car. Obnoxiously slow, but roomy and safe for its era, though newer cars are probably significantly safer than even the later 240s that had driver’s side air bags. That picture is from 1996, and the Volvo was 12 years old at that time.

If my reading of this article is correct, oil drilling companies receive a lot of tax breaks that are not available to other industries. In the example given, 75% of the cost of drilling a well can be deducted in the year the well was drilled, and the remaining 25% can be deducted over the following 7 years,…
the bailout helped as in not tanking the economy even further. As for the automakers going under it would have not been bad, but there are quite a few suppliers relying on the automakers. Considering that for every worker from a manufacturer there’s about 3-4 people working for suppliers that would have been out of a…
With regards in general to Trump’s so-called budget... Another example of an admin with no clue of what its doing. The budget would result in 100's of thousands of people losing their jobs, untold millions, perhaps even billions in lost government contracts with private firms, and a compromising of various services…
What about the $10billion plus in subsidies we give to the oil companies on average per year?
“Their own financial legs” - condescending AND misinformed. Nice.
