2012 Best Cars for the Money Awards


US News & World Report | News & Rankings | Best Colleges, Best Hospitals, and more

 

I find it interesting that a lot of the cars that were ranked as #1 & #2 in their lists are the very same cars that are struggling with poor sales. The 'Affordable Sports Cars' is a perfect example. The Camaro has consistently outsold the Miata and Mustang. If it isn't affordable why are so many of them selling? Considering the sales numbers reflect a completely different story these rankings are bogus and appear to be nothing more than an attempt to spur sales for cars that are collecting dust on the showroom floors.

 

LoL `Mike, are you saying that they are lying to us ?
They did a in depth analysis (didn't they)
I'm going to send them a letter & ask them why they are
trying to mislead us "I'm sure they will be truthful & respond ~> I'm gona sit here & wait

 

APRIL U.S. AUTO SALES

U.S. sales rise 2% in April; SAAR stays at 14.4 million

GM, Ford sales drop as Toyota gains steam

7:23 am U.S. ET | May 1 2012 UPDATED: 5/1/12 4:38 pm ET -- adds final sales results
U.S. light vehicle sales rose 2 percent last month to 1.2 million units, slightly above expectations, with consumers continuing to snap up new cars and other fuel efficient models at a faster clip than trucks and SUVs. In another sign the U.S. auto industry continues a steady climb back from the downturn, light vehicles sold at an annualized rate of 14.4 million last month.

Sorry Officer,

I'm a......aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah on yeah, a

That stuff not mine, I found it on the net...US News is guilty.
I'm just their messenger, or delivery `boy

Oh, Officer, do you have a Internet connection in your jail ?
Does anyone tell the truth anymore ? Do You ?

 

Except for the automotive enthusiast mags most of the other mags and consumer mags are biased and don't tell the truth. All they want to do is speil there agenda under the guise of truthful reporting. I find it disgusting. I've finally stopped reading Consumer Reports as it has started to gag me.

 

'Space, I hope you don't think I was out to shoot the messenger with my comments. I was merely stating what I thought about the rankings US News gave the cars. It had nothing to do with you personally.

Yes, I tell the truth. In fact, I've been accused on more than one occassion of being brutaly honest. Sometimes it's a welcome trait to others and sometimes it grates against them like fingernails on a blackboard, but that's just the way I am...

 

Hi `Mike,
No I did not take any offense at `all. I was just trying to add some space humor to this thread...Truth & Honesty seems to be fading in our society

I admire a person that is brutally honest, even if the truth hurts.

No legacy is so rich as Honesty. ~ William Shakespeare

Truth is generally the best vindication against slander. ~ Abraham Lincoln

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all the people all the time. ~ Abraham Lincoln

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the Truth.
~Benjamin Disraeli

Thanks Mike for your honesty 4-Sure...
