Trying to use some funky graph and say that the ZR1 is not as good as the 5 cars above it when it Molly wopped everything there, just because they don't like it, is the crux of the problem.
It's a bit like telling Lance Armstrong that, well, he will be 6th not 1st in the tour de france because he looks funny riding the bike and all he did was go fast in the straights.
In the end, it just goes to show that, the most important thing you can do when contemplating buying a new car is take it for a spin. YOUR judgement on what is good and bad is the most important. They are not going to be paying that bill every month.

Wait, I take that back, the Caddilac CTS-V got one above average rating. 
Their full of crap, I would proudly drive any of those eight cars...( I don't like what GT500s look like, and the miata aint doing it for me.) Thanks for wasting my life motor trend... |
im not totally sure what they were using as a bench mark for all of these, since most of these great cars did, as you said, get below average. and how the interior of the MX5 beat the CTSV, hmmm....

i dont think he meant like every car, i think he was reffereing to acknowledging the facts about how certain cars handle and such, but i do see what you mean, i know theres a few that i dont like, and i consider my self to be an automotive/driving fan
