Forbes 'Safest cars for 2006' list the dumbest ever!

I read Forbes for Market research...never gave a rats ass on their auto articles.

Autospies doesn't give financial advice. Why is Forbes giving car advice?

Beacuse they can. Forbes has been putting out their ‘lists’ for many years and has gained world wide attention, from companies and people wanting to get onto the lists. No one I know can say they are on a Forbes list but I know that it would be an honor to be on one.
Forbes has been, and is of the leaders in business and financial news. But not only do they report on what is going on in the ‘business’ world but they also report on things that people, not just business executive can read when wanting to enjoy 'life'. They like any other company whose product is focused within a major niche, still will want people to come and read about things other than what the market is doing.

“Let’s see what Oracle is doing today, oh and I want to buy and boat or a new house, lets see what Forbes thinks is a good place to live or what’s the latest on the yachting world.”

Maybe that person doing some reading on the latest news of the world is also thinking about buying a car, and hey look, they have a section on cars. Now is this person going to go out and base his decision on what Forbes says…..if they have too much money and no brains yes (of course these people don’t need Forbes, they just need the local MB or Bentley dealership on their Rolodex). But it’s another place for someone to do research.

You don’t like what they said, or disagree with their findings. Okay. It’s their opinion. And anyways Saab and Volvo have always been leaders in safety. Autospies should know that.
