I picked up the Consumer Reports New Cars issue, April 2018, from the magazine rack yet held off reading it for a couple of weeks. When I finally read it, Huh? The cars I'm familiar with Prius Prime and BMW i3-REx were factual. Even their notoriously poor MPG numbers were close enough to the EPA and my metrics to be usable:

• Toyota Prius Prime - 74 Road Test Score
  • 69 MPG overall
    • 56 City
    • 81 Highway (only with EV)
• BMW i3-REx - 79 Road Test Score
  • 139 MPGe
    • 135 City
    • 141 Highway (only EV tested)

The only thing left out was gas testing of the BMW i3-REx but the other metrics and comments were through and accurate. So when I saw the regular April 2018 Consumer Reports, Auto Issue, it promised the 10 best and worst. Then I read the Toyota Prius Prime, pp 78:
