I just checked and CR rates them both very similarly. The have similar reliability ratings and both are ranked as a "CR Good Bet" when considering used cars.

Even if you don't agree with their way of reporting reliability, they still do a lot of in-dept tests on cars, tires, batteries etc. that many people find useful.



How about the Toyota Corolla and Chevy Prizm. Same car, different badge. The corolla scored excellently in reliability "Surveys" and the prizm wasn't anywhere nearly as good. Come on now, the bias is everywhere and it's extremely clear.


Urban legend.....

EXACTLY! I lost them when they automatically gave the new 300 a poor rating BEFORE IT WAS EVEN OUT.

They develop stats out of thin air.
