No, but it means less for Toyota.
Hyundai yes, Nissan no. They rode the coat tails of Honda and Toyota into the world of "quality" but they lack it by a good margin.

Well they haven't had any major recalls like Toyota and Hon-duh which is why I named them.

Agreed, but I dont think that toyota people are nissan people.
Hyundai and Honda sure. Maybe Buick could gain some people. Chevy maybe some.

**** happens, priorites change, and dealers were in the middle of a rapefest with the price of the car.

More **** for Toyota's fan:

By convincing safety officials that the sudden acceleration complaints were related to defective floor mats and not sticky gas pedals, Toyota says it saved over $100 million in recall costs. The document lists the $100 million savings in a section titled “Wins for Toyota-Safety Group.”

Back on topic, Toyota will survive, Hyundai will prosper.

Yup. It does matter a lot. I'd love to see their criteria algorithm, though. I cannot think of an example but they rated a few cars/trucks as "good buys" in the past that were panned by the auto magazines. Same deal with some of their other products- Behr paint comes to mind.

Dunno their algorithm, I just know that old people read them and then tell me what car is good or bad
My mom read a consumer report about her car, SRX, and it said it was the worst thing in the world since Osama Bin Laden, and will no doubt break, explode and kill her children. She was terrified and said she would never would have purchased the car is she read it before hand. I asked her if anything consumer report said happened and she said no. I told her to chuck that piece of garbage, and not to listen to idiots (someone also told her that there are 51 states... so she asked me).

LOL. My mom also has an SRX, and she loves the thing. I'll let you know when it transforms into a Decipticon and starts shooting up preschools.
They also gave the LS1 engine a big black circle in every application it was ever in, saying it got bad mileage. Meanwhile, it made more power and got better mileage that some of the import sixes that got red circles. Go figure.
A lot of the stuff they write about regular products is pretty good, I'm not going to deny that. They just have some real misses where it almost looks like they are taking bribes. The paint thing pisses me off. I helped friends paint every room in 3 houses with Behr paint. EVERY time it sucked. Especially the ceiling paint. I warned against using it after the experience with the first house but to no avail. We had different crews of people each time. I use Sherwin-Williams now and it's a LOT better, but it got a "meh" white circle.
