The myth is that CR is somehow more objective than other reviewers. Nothing could be further from the truth. CR has their own standards, and their own agenda. This can be shown nowhere better in the only car ever to get a "perfect" rating from them: the Lexus LS400. If that's their standard, I don't need to read anything they have to say about SAABs.
In 2007, CR has little of relevance to say about ANY car, really. The real problem with CR is that 25 years ago there were really big differences in reliability and safety. Today, not so much. The difference between top & bottom rated cars has narrowed dramatically, making CR's methodologies obsolete, requiring new standards....and CR isn't changing to adapt.
