Chevy Malibu is not around to Fight??????????????????????? But what do you want? Do you want CR to just give the award to Malibu...without any track record? That car may turnout to be horrible.
Also we are all tired of domestic fanboys saying that ohhh the future cars will be way better than anything Japanese can make. It seems to me future never comes.
Everyone was saying that Fusion was supposed to be the CamCord killer.....didn't work out. Even Asstek was supposed to be the best crossover avaliable.....did not happen.
But i am sure all Domestic fanboys will comeout and say that Acadia is a Honda Pilot Killer, Volt is a Prius killer, Malibu is a Accord Killer.............
The future never become NOW in Detroit.
P.S. Anyone who says Volt is all that........how has Prius been selling for? And Volt?

Don't confuse popularity with quality. And import fanboys are as bad, if not worse, than the domestic ones.

CR will not recommend anything in it's first year on the market unless it's past years have been above average (and yes, several Toyota models have lost this privelege given their recent track record). They also won't double-recommend a car unless it's crash avoidance and safety records are good.
For a mainstream magazine, these are good, conservative choices to make.

um....but the Acadia IS a Honda Pilot Killer. It has a better finished interior, more striking exterior, way more room, better gas mileage, a more powerful engine, a better tranny, and a better warranty to back it up.
Need I continue?
