The article is pretty funny. The tests focused on, "predicted reliability, fuel economy, depreciation, ride, owner costs, accident avoidance, front-seat comfort, acceleration and owner satisfaction." However, the article starts out saying, "If you want to drive something dependable and long-lasting, steer clear of these vehicles."
Since when do fuel economy, depreciation, ride, front-seat comfort, acceleration and owner satisfaction have anything to do with being "dependable and long-lasting?"
Gotta love it.
For the record, I'll take any of those cars over this any day
