I get Car & Driver (read: they send me it though I never pay for it) and before sorting it into the trash I sometimes see what they say about the 1 or 2 American vehicles in it. Every article about an american vehicle has more than a few slights for no reason. And their comparison's are predictable. I remember that they said they went 4 wheelin' at someplace that all of the vehicles could go and when it came to spec's, crawl ratio & approach/departure angles were only mentioned for the H3, no comparison than to the others. And the windshield sounded like some waterfall or something, the back seats rated last and more opinions. Car & Driver is very short on facts and long on opinions, and their opinions were formed about 20 years ago and aren't changing and are anything but informed.

Also in Car & Driver recently was that they liked the Trailblazer SS, the only problem was that it was a Trailblazer. The brand new Denali was really nice except that it was expensive vehicle to haul only 4 adults (not true) and it would depreciate $20,000 in a year (not in Michigan). A long while ago they said the '67 Firebird was one of the ugliest vehicles ever.

I guess I should write a letter to their advertisers (= C&D) that I don't even want their rag for free.
