Also If you look at Crs website the ask for donations. How could they afford to buy all of the products they test. They have no advertising and when you gat their subscriptions you get the magazine cheaper then cover price plus a lot of freebees books annual car guide online access etc. The Japs must donate a lot !

As we all Know most liberal people buy Imports

I don't think a person's political affilation has a whole lot to do with what cars they like or not. I personally find CR's testing flawed but I'm not going so far as to suggest they are paid off by the Japanese or anyone else (especially since such claims can't be substantiated).

For the record, this really isn't an appropriate place to discuss politics.

I'm liberal and hate CR and would never buy an import. Your grasping at straws here to try to bring politics into this. You picked the wrong party...

I said most not all. Studies have shown that Republicans buy more domestic while

Democrats buy Imports. Look at car bumper stickers when you see a anti W sticker such as a slash through a W, 90+ % have them are on Imports. I Have joked to some liberals the /W sticker means Anti-union worker. When you see a bumper sticker for a liberal cause it's usually on a import A study done maybe 6 mos. ago was all over the news media confirming this

republicans buying domestics has more to do with the majority of domestics sales being in Red States. GM does tons better in the Midwest then anywhere else, smae with DCX and Ford. If you were to pull the import stats it's probably more closer to an even split than the domestics---since republicans and dems both buy imports

I'll be a jerk!

Studies also show that people who did not graduate HS at all tend to be D. People who graduate tend to be R. People who go to college and graduate with a BD or AD tend to be R. People who go to college and graduate with an M or PhD tend to be D.

So.......what does this prove? Really, not a whole lot.

I second the "assinine" comment.

I'm a domestic-buying "liberal."

This thread is already too far down the path of mindless partisan rhetoric. No useful discussion can come out of this, so
