I used to read Consumer Reports faithfully and especially liked when they did their annual Auto review. But lately (actually the last 5 years or so) they just don't seem to "get it". The only thing that keeps them on the newsstand these days is their name. Their reporting in my opinion has become irrelevant.

Oh. That. Well, it is a legitimate problem. I've trained myself not to put my fingers on the "sweet spot," but if I do, I could kiss my bars goodbye.
