LincolnV Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 C&D online has lost all credibility RE: Ford IMHO ever since they wrote a biased article against Ford because (To quote one of the editors in comments) The blow-jobbery about Ford in the media. Car and Driver is too busy dealing with the "blow-jobbery" of the Japanese manufacturers to accomodate an American manufacturer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ranger20 Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 They tested a Mariner with the 16inch vs the optional 17inch wheels which would have helped the handling. And if they are going to award points for towing capacity, why not test one with the towing package which would up the rating to 3500lbs? I think I would rather tow with the Mercury than the VW. IMO, the results of Car & Driver's comparision tests are decided upfront, then they spin the numbers to back up their choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
