People like me who wanted to be educated consumers contribute. Magazine subscription, sweepstakes, etc. They accept no advertising and will not let their reports be used by companies as part of advertising. You may disagree with their testing methods or criteria, but their integrity is beyond reproach.
Haha ! Pretty much true. In the 80s, 90s, etc I'll bet they had very few "contributors" that owned Chryslers, GMs, and so on but had lots of Honda, Toyota, etc owners. I remember one time at work some of were looking at the yearly summary of cars and how they ranked. Personally, I drove a Honda Prelude that ranked pretty good at the time too. A co-worker had bought a Pontiac Trans Sport about a week earlier and asked if he could look at it when we were done. I knew about these models and politely said "you would have been better off reading this before you bought yours!".
