I have read G. Chambers Williams' column for many years, and he has yet to test a vehicle he didn't like! I cannot remember a single bad comment he has made on any car he has written about.

I bet you're quite a bit younger than my dad, and you sound as ornery as he is, so I bet we'll see your posts here for quite a while yet!

Norm,
I see CR as a bit too much on the side of "idiot-proofing" cars, being big supporters of such items as stability controls, crash-proofing etc. I consider them another source of information,...

Look, I know you are enthused about your (nearly) new car, as are most people, and strive to defend your choice in a vehicle. Since the 2010 doesn't belong to me, I can make an unbiased observation...

It's hardly a new transmission, having been used in scooters for years! Like Norm and I say, if you don't have to shift it, it's an automatic, period!
