I love how Buick brags of their "Initial Quality" awards by JD Powers...all that is is a sucker thing. Suckers get drawn in because of the initial quality but within a year it's falling apart and everything is worn. Nobody puts stock in initial quality, it is in fact very misleading (such as Saabs, as they have had very good initial quality for years)...but GM doesn't get it. Or rather their buyers don't.

CR sucks. Period. End of story.

Yianni, testing variations come from the vehicles, the temperatures, the humidity, and the elevation. It really isn't a bias thing.
