Yahoo\'s news with a horrible headline

So the headlines and opening paragraph are talking about vehicles that are lemons.

So then they start talking about the Aztek. No where in the paragraph does it say anything about quality/reliability. All it can do is lambast it for poor mileage and overall looks.

I really think people should have a clue before they can publish anything.

Plus quoting a british service on an american product?

i just read that article before checking the forum. I thought the same thing. It's not a lemon if it's reliable and good quality. A lemon breaks down and costs you money, etc.. Azteks were not typically like that. Not to mention the fact that this car was one of the very first "crossover" suvs. Before even toyota or honda could get to it.

Thats pretty much the deal that Consumer Reports gives ANY American car whenever the annual car review edition is released. If the car's American, it WILL be blasted with no reservation. If it's Japanese, it will be worshiped. If it's Japanese AND Hybrid, it will be canonized. American Hybrids get a pleasant one-word post-it added to the review. I trust CR none at all anymore.
