[QUOTE="Erik Larson, post: 548298, member: 57488"] Awwww crap another "I read it on the internet! It must be true!" I've come to realize many printed publications are just as bad. I know for a fact that Yamaha has a huge advertising contract with DirtWheels. Thus new reviews of other companies quads are always inferior to Yamaha. Tuner shops with Hot Rod, MM&FF, this tuner gets all the articles. Car and driver is biased due to advert sales. I don't even think Edmunds has an unbiased opinion any more. It's very easy to skew numbers one way or another to make a product look good. I deal with it daily. If you tilt the chart a little this way it looks like we're on track to make our deadlines. JD power can be biased, it doesn't take much, just gain everyone trust, buy a crapload of stock in say Audi... start compairing Audi's to everything out there and saying how the Audi is the better car. Presto you steer the comsumer market and make a bundle at the same time. :angry: $$ talks, and sadly can steer the consumer market. What car publication said the Aztec was a kick ass car? None that I recall, might have had something to do with the flop. BTW the Ridgeline might be moving from Lot to Lot not Lot to comsumer. They may be selling like hotcakes in FL but not Cali, Cali couls ship thiers off and trade them for Civics which might be selling better in Cali and FL. Dealers shift inventory all the time. Saying they only sit on the lot 24 days doesn't mean much if the supply is lower than the demand or they consider lot changes as 'leaving the lot'. Just my opinion, though I'm kinda biased, I own a Ford and like it. [/QUOTE]
