Yeah, I'm talking about the Motor Trend's, Car & Driver, Road and Track, and the rest of the bunch.

I'm so tired of seeing such unbelieveable bias in their pages and articles. If it's not German or Japanese, they don't even test them. God forbid they should test a car costing under 30k, hell half the time under 40k.

I swear to god they could hold a minivan comparo, and a BMW 3 series would win it because of it's incredible handling, and suburb feel while towing the trailer necessary to compete with the minivans in storage room.

9 of 10 times the cars they choose for comparing, 1-2 BMW's, a Mercedes, a Audi, a Lexus, and maybe some other freak European car they throw into the mix. Never do they compare an American car in the bunch. Not that it would matter because as everyone knows, the BMW wins anyway. You can read the comments they make about each and totally change the order in which the cars really finish. It's almost never the same as how they put it into the rankings. It just drives me nuts!

Anyone else feeling the same way? Oh, it's also why I cancelled all my subscriptions a few years ago, it was getting so deep I'd need a backhoe to dig myself out.
