I gotta agree with the opinions on magazines. I only read Car and Driver anymore... the others just don't tell me anything. However, I too have noticed the "biasing" towards "non-American" cars...

and what always urked me, they hated mustangs and loved Camaro's... guess what?!? the Camaro is dead... I guess GM didn't read Car and Driver. (plus I still like mustang's a lot even if my Neon is faster so)...

I had an 87 Mustang GT that I really liked. Besides, Mustangs look good in my rear view mirror!!!![sm=smiley36.gif][sm=smiley20.gif]

Yep, the Mustang vs. Camaro issue every year and every year the Camaro won. On paper using weight to horsepower ratio, the Mustang should win but it never does (SS vs. Cobra).[sm=smiley24.gif]

Several years ago I heard that the MT "Car of the Year" award almost always went the car maker who bought the most advertising space in the magazine in the previous year.....don't know how true that was......

Buying your way into car of the year, it wouldn't shock me if it were true.[sm=smiley7.gif][sm=smiley21.gif]
