    I think it speaks to the confirmation bias of their subscribers, even though I still remain one. Because of CU's inherent bias in many products, I like to read details from whatever the POV. One thing I've noticed over many years, is that many of the subscriber's reviews of products are 180 degrees opposite of the CU ratings. I've found this on many things from paint and stain to various electronics. However, performance cars withstanding, the CU top car and SUV list matches up a tiny bit with Car & Driver. LOL.

    That's a very strange list of vehicles, a lot of Teslas, Jeep, Lincolns and a Prius. Shows their subscriber base is not getting much larger.

    It's not just owner bias ..... some commercial reviewers go with a hearty thumbs up for their 'best' car. Motortrend seems to be all gushy over the model 3;
