They said to avoid these 5 new cars:desiv said:1: It's Consumer Reports...
2: Did they "trash electric cars" or did they trash a variety of cars, a few (2? 5? out of how many?) of which are electric?
Either way, see #1. ;-)

^^^ this^^^ is spot on.kubel said:In their defense, all 5 of those cars are crap. The electric drive on the Spark might make it better than the gas Spark, but the rest of the car is still a Daewoo.
I'd say they got this correct.greengate said:Chevrolet Spark and the Mitsubishi MiEV "Cars to Avoid," (there are 5,) in their recent publication.

greengate said:It's just with so few all electric cars out there, it's a shame to not at least give them some credit for being all electric..all of which made me wonder if it weren't the same people working for CR that were instrumental in killing the electric car several years ago...as if the electric car were an invasive plant that needed to be eradicated.

the reality is an econo box is an econo box regardless of it's propulsion system
when CR loved the tesla they were heroes now that they've trashed some of the "weaker" cars they're now villains?
