Consumers Digest Magazine Names 2007 Automotive Best Buys

DEERFIELD, Ill., Nov. 1, 2006 -- Thirty-two vehicles and six companion models out of 253 total 2007 models received Best Buy ratings from Consumers Digest. The ratings, published in CD's December issue (on sale November 1), span eight categories: Small Cars, Family Cars, Luxury Cars, Sporty Cars, Trucks, Vans, Compact/Midsize SUVs and Luxury/Full-Size SUVs. The Best Buys -- based on behind-the-wheel testing, safety ratings, ownership costs, warranty, price, comfort, ergonomics, styling and amenities -- reflect CD's assessment of which 2007 vehicles offer the most value for the money.

Six "Small Cars" received Best Buys: Chevrolet HHR, Dodge Caliber, Honda Civic, Honda Fit, Jeep Compass and Nissan Versa.

Can't wait to read the report.

well now that's gotta help the HHR's resale value! :D
where's the writeup?

The write-up isn't available online (according to consumersdigest.com). You have to buy the publication.

mebbe someone who has the subscription can copy and paste the article here...

Which would just get Consumers Digest to come down on the site for copyright violation...

Even if you give credit to the source? :confused:

ya don't want the Consumers Reports Police comin' down on ya! :rof:

I guess we'll read all about it soon enough.
This is pretty terrific news though for anyone who owns one.

Yep, IF you post the whole article. Fair use allows for use of copyrighted material in certain relatively narrow areas: educational (i.e. by an educational institution), critical review (usually applies to books, films, music), research (applies to relatively small portions of the work NOT the whole thing) and various other areas.

The bottom line is that if a court feels that your use of the material affects the owner of the work in a material way (costs him profit) you are in violation [my interpretation]. See this link for more info http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/intellec...2.htm#research
See the section towards the bottom entitled Using the Four Factor Fair Use Test

Posting a couple of paragraphs from the article would almost certainly be OK, but not the whole article.

Interesting stuff. Thanks Wackaloon. :yourock:
