      A few pointers AVEOJUNK, I would say 'Forbes' magazine is not very qualified to rate vehicles in any circunstance and segment(maybe Fortune 500 companies!) especialy when their articles cites 'Consumer Reports' as a main source of the imformation.
      Frankly a magazine that rates from vaccum cleaners to toylet paper would not be my first choice as a car reviewer, and I'm not even citing the many troubles and law suits Consumer Reports have faced in the last few years due to false imformation or favoring a brand over another(I wonder why?$$$$$)
      They have lost their CREDIBILITY long ago. It seems that 'IMPORTS' can do no wrong with them, I wonder what their editors drive? Probably BMW and Mercedes...I garantie u not Honda or Toyota, those are cars for mere mortals like ourselfs! LOL
      JD POWER also would not be my first choice.
      'CAR And DRIVER' and 'MOTOR TREND' and quite a few others would be a better choice...
      Yahoo has embareced itself by placing those articles on its site(I bet they did the 'WE GOTT'S PAYD DANCE' after words!)
      Yahoo autos is but a joke compared to MSN AUTOS, a site that is run by people with real automotive knowledge/background, and professional reviewers that rate cars with competency not just bash them in a attempt to hurt a certain vehicle sales or appeal.
      As U can see DOMESTICS lead the sales as they have done for the most part, the AVEO being #6 is quite a acomplishment for a basic econobox made by koreans and we all know a bit inferior in quality to its import counterparts, but remeber its much cheaper too. Sure it has some inhedited problems, but so does them all!
      As far as worst crash test ratings, last time I checked the HONDA FIT and some other imports did not do very well... and 4 out of 5 ratting on the Aveo is not bad for a small car.
      Reliabilty so far I can only speak for my self, and the Aveo has being great for me, no problems so far at 50k.
      Just a 'REALITY' check for you, no car is perfect, from the YUGO to the VEYRON they all have its weaknesses and strenghts, in the case of the Bugatty its crazy price! In the case of the YUGO...well... the Yugo is a bad exemple!
      I'm really curious as to what vehicle U drive?
