    Consumer Reports still doesn't like the Prius c, but owners don't agree:

    "Hybrid owners are especially happy with their cars, according to the Consumer Reports' survey. The Honda Accord Hybrid is the best-loved midsized; the Chevrolet Volt, the best-loved compact; and the Toyota Prius C is the best-loved subcompact."​

    So how many times has Consumer Reports found a gap between their analysis and customer purchases?

    Someday, perhaps they'll wake up and figure out maybe . . . the rotary phone and their evaluation criteria needs to be refreshed and replaced.

    Emotional appeal has replaced engineering, statistics and cost-effectiveness.
