Some things you should know about Consumers Union, the publisher of Consumer Reports. They buy all of the products they test, and they don't accept advertising. While I don't always agree with their opinions, they are consistent. They have panned almost every car I have ever owned.
As for them asking you to subscribe, that was a good sales effort. They admitted their mistake, showed credibility in doing so, and then went for the sale. Good technique from what I see. It is certainly better than the magazine renewals I get whose envelopes look like a dun from a collections department.
The other thing to remember is where they get their data. They survey their subscribers. Let's face it, if we followed their advice, we wouldn't own SAAB cars. So I would wager that SAAB owners are not likely to subscribe to CR.
BTW I own 2 SAABs and love them!
