I guess it is just a matter of opinion. I personally would not swap my Lexus
for any of those on the list.

keep in mind that automakers probably pay big bucks to get on this list.

Perhaps, but I would think that if that ever became general
knowledge(beyond just allegation), it would be a major
scandal. At least in the automotive circle(s).
Obviously, I don't know. But, I don't think C&D would
jeopardize a reputation that they'd spent years/decades
to build, by selling their "Best Cars" slots.

They probably wouldn't sell a spot, but if comes down to a choice between a
couple of worthy contenders I bet the one that spends the most advertising
in C&D wins! |

Maybe, let's see what they say....
I've CC'd one of their contact addresses. Perhaps they'll
provide a clarification.
For the C&D convenience, the complete thread here is

Sounds like a great idea.
Is anyone out there interested in buying my (slightly used) LS600hL? It's a
pretty nice car, but I have to agree with Dave that the Malibu has C&D's
endorsement, and so it must be a better choice. Frankly, I'm embarassed to
be driving something as second class as my LS600 obviously is, so hopefully
someone out there will be kind enough to take this pig off my hands. Any
takers?

Dave -- Just noticed the slight modification to Long Dong's e-mail address

Priceless!

Giga, I can give you the same offer I gave Mr. McBrue to take his miserable
LS off his hands. I offered him a 1998 Ford Escort 30K perfectly maintained
and driven by a little old lady [ my Mom ] and offered to deliver it to him
to make the exchange anywhere in the USA. It should be worth even more to
him now as it is very good on gas. I will also make this offer to any ES
Piston Slap owners. BTW I have a 2003 ES with no piston slap or trans lag.
Unlike the smuck I work with who's 2003 C-Class has been in the shop six
times since he bought it. He still insists Mercedes is a better car. It
goes to show you that sometimes perception is everything.

Sold! A Ford is a clearly superior vehicle seeing as it's a US based
manufacturer. In fact, I should probably throw in some cash on top of the
deal so I don't take advantage of your generosity. Thanks for bailing me
out of my stupid decision to go with the "dolled up Toyota"!

Ya got me Goober! Who would? Only a MORON clearly! The car's such a piece
of crap, it's hard to believe. And the price? Outrageous!
Oh. Wait a minute. I bought one.
Hmmm... perhaps someone who values high end technology, great customer
service, and a car that's pretty much flawless might buy one.
Or then again, maybe not?
