I gave up on Consumer Reports when they panned the Fiat X-1/9.  Not
that there weren't any number of good reasons to gripe -- rust, lack
of power, lack of durability... but no, they panned it because it
"responded to driver inputs too quickly".  You see with the engine
in the middle its like an ice skater who pulls their arms in and
spins faster and faster...

I could go on, but this isn't net.auto.  If you trust Consumers Reports
to test your computers for you then you should limit your purchases to
machines which can be bought at Toys-R-Us.
