Consumer Reports(中文是消费者杂志)。消费者杂志的权威不用置疑。
消费者杂志对每一个市场产品也有测试报告,它们有最完善的设备和专业人才,不是靠问卷调查来获取产品的数据,而是经过对它的每项测试而得出结论。
它的宗旨说得很明白: Consumer Reports is an independent,non profit organization whose mission is to work a fair,JUST,and safe marketplace for all consummers and to empower consummers to protect themselves。
它对车的测试有那么个说明: We think that real value is not necessarily how much you spend but what you get for your money. Vehicles that are reliable, perform well, and don't cost much to own represent the best values. Overall, small cars and sedans provide the best bang for the buck.
它从来不说那个产品好坏,它只给测试报告。就像车的报告一样,"真正的价值不在于你花多少钱买那辆车,而是它的性能和你付出的价钱值不值。如果你花少钱而买了同样好的车那不是更好吗?”(我的英译中不好)。
如果怀疑中国人的智商,为什么他她们总喜欢买日系车,不如先去了解为什么先辈移民总喜欢在人流量多的地方做生意。又喜欢在西人多的地区买房。
有句名言,Fool me once, shame on you. fool me twice, shame on me. 中国人为什么买日系车多,难道他们都是Stupid不成?
邓小平有句话:实践是检验真理的唯一标准。
修理什么车的工价也差不多,但零件价钱就不一样。美系车,欧系车,日系车那个会坏得频繁?
