Audi: Why you should not trust blindly to consumer reports

We found a very interesting website with a review of the Audi 5000 story. Conclusion: don't trust blindly to so-called consumer reports!

A few years before that, CBS' highly-rated "60 Minutes" show did a hit-piece on the Audi 5000 (photo), saying that it was simple for drivers to mistake the gas pedal for the brake, and cited several instances of people getting hurt or even killed because of these "faulty" Audi cars. Audi sued CBS and everyone involved, and even succeeded in winning the house of the woman in New Jersey who made the original claim against the company and took her story to CBS.
