GM Facts and Fiction

[Keith Tedford]

Back in the sixties a family member bought nothing without consulting her consumer reports. I started reading them too. Then the 70 series tires came out. The design was so bad that you couldn't get 10K miles out of them. Too much tire pressure, the centre wore. Too little and the outsides wore. When Consumer's Report gave these tires a rave review, I never read another one of these magazines. Still don't. Many magazine articles today appear to be nothing more than infomercials for products, just like the tv car shows. American magazines are starting to acknowledge that the American/Canadian cars are good. Up here the big three are still getting knocked. Reality doesn't seem to matter.
