Consumer Reports is a garbage company,I don’t value their biased opinion at all.
Your dead on the money! Their all about imports. I dumped CR a long time ago because of their biased opinion!
Like everything else, they are bought AND paid for. Greed is alive and well. Screw Consumer Reports. Their “opinion” means nothing to me.
I’ve had peeling paint on my metallic blue 86 Camaro , white 89 Astro Van, white 95 Silverado pickup after they said they fixed the problem in 93? I’m guessing GM doesn’t care?
In ’86 GM had PPG paints formulate a water based paint, they actually had it piped in from the PPG plant that was built off-site, the PPG plant was demolished since GM quit using a paint that peeled, my ’86 pick-up peeled big-time on the hood, they scuffed it and painted it, terrible job !
