However, the recommendations have to be approached with a certain caution. For example, in 1981 when we needed a new small car, the Chevrolet Chevette was one of their few recommendations (indicated by the car's name in red type as opposed to black). Imagine how I felt last year, when the 1981 Chevette was listed among the "Used Cars to Avoid". - Greg Paley
