That stupid Consumer Reports has everything wrong. Their idea of the perfect car is a Toyota Prius and it has to be Japanese, of course. I couldn't help but notice that the appearance of the car is not even scored! Here are the criteria I put on muscle cars (and my own personal score):
Acceleration 9
Appearance 10
Braking 10
Handling 8 ( well I haven't actually driven one yet...)
Interior 7
Engine sound 9 (the louder the better)
Appearance, Appearance, Appearance.....
