Consumer Reports has never compared the predicted reliability of a Ferrari versus a Lamborghini. Rather, these guys and gals are famous for testing the vehicles we actually buy: econoboxes, mid-size sedans, CUVs and the like.

They're the NPR of the auto reviewing world, except they're really not. We know the people at CR's automotive department, and they're true car fans. That fact is on display in this video, which previews the mag's upcoming triple comparo of the Ford Mustang GT, Chevy Camaro SS and Dodge Challenger R/T.

While CR usually buys all of the vehicles that get reviewed in its pages, the team is still shopping for a Mustang and Camaro and so had to borrow examples for this video. We hope they gave the owners some money for new tires, because most of that rubber went up in smoke during filming.

Watch the CR crew kick off their loafers and get crazy.

nooiice. That sweeping turn where they burned about half the tire was pretty sweet.

Oops, I was expecting an actual review. I guess I should have read the title. Even so, it was fun to watch for the burnouts alone. I'm still impressed w/how muscular the Challenger looks in comparison to the others.

Oh, and that powder blue on the Mustang is awful.... yuck.

Very nice for the camaro...so far i think they dislike the challenger besides its looks and straight line driving

Andro · 05-08-2009, 12:48 AM

I'm surprised they didn't find a way to mention the Prius...

Looks to be a promising review. Though I dislike the publication, personally, they do a thorough job when evaluating cars. Being limited to these three...the comparison might be interesting!

that mustang looks very Korean this year

Wait until you read the Magazine (Motor Trend). The Editor commented that this car is pure Sex.
