Motor Trend?

Some of their car of the year winners:

1960 Corviar

1963 Rambler (all models)

1971 Vega (real winner here boys)

1972 Citroën SM

1974 Ford Mustang II (almost as bad as the Vega)

1980 Chevrolet Citation

1981 Chrysler K Cars, Dodge Aries and Plymouth Reliant (nuff said)

1983 AMC / Renault Alliance (another one here, what a POS)

1986 Ford Taurus LX

1993 Ford Probe GT

2001 Chrysler PT Cruiser (Looks cool to me but built on the Neon chassis and the list of warranty problems was amazing)

2004 Toyota Prius

2011 Chevrolet Volt

Now these were all real winners! All selected by Motor Trend. That would be my last source to help me select a vehicle. All the vehicles listed had people who loved them but the majority of owners were not satisfied at all.

Vehicles are subjected a battery of tests: standard car tests such as skid-pad ratings, acceleration and quarter-mile times, and evaluations of the interiors are combined with a track run conducted by SCCA-licensed testers and taking the cars out on normal roads to test their drivability under normal conditions, and fuel economy. Trucks and SUVs add towing capacity and speed, plus an off-road course, to the normal regimen.

But they don't really put that many miles on them nor do they address what they will be worth say 5 years later or how long they will last.

According to JD Powers the Chevy/GMC pickups for the 2013 year model were the most dependable and reliable. So where does that put Motor Trends rating? Their truck of the year wasn't the most dependable or reliable? What's up with that. I stopped paying any attention to Motor Trend in the 80's.

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul ...
