I agree, I have been a subscriber for 12 years. Basically they like fast, nice handling automobiles and they are pushing automobile makers to make cars that get good fuel economy with no performance trade-off. As much as I like my civic hybrid, I understand that 0-60 in 10-12 seconds is at the bottom of the scale for the average auto, and hense isn't going to be a darling of Car and Driver. They recently did a review of the new Civic Si and loved it.
