Consumer Reports to review the Outlander

From consumerreports.org (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/current-issue/consumer-reports/1006_toc_ov1.htm), in an upcoming issue they expect to review:

Small SUVs
Dodge Nitro, Hyundai Santa Fe, Mitsubishi Outlander, Subaru Forester Sports 2.5 XT, and Suzuki XL-7. Plus updates of three minivans.

I'm guessing the review will appear in the May issue, which will probably come out in the early April time frame.

Nice find D...thanks!

I don't know if CR already have a vehicle for test drive. Last time I peeked into the latest edition at that time, the New Outlander didn't even earn a
"recommended" rating, which is weird because I know for a fact that CR weighs safety as an important factor for their ratings. The older, less safe (talking about airbags, ASC, etc) Outlander even got a "Recommended" rating.

How can they recommend something they haven't yet reviewed?

Money...secret advanced cars to try out...magic.

Exactly my point. Previous CR editions just talked of the new Outlander based on press releases. That's why I said " I don't know if CR already have a vehicle for test drive", because previous issues doesn't seem to talk of the SUV from a first hand impression. But since they would be coming out with a full review, we'll get to see if the Outlander 07 gets a recommended rating this time, and perhaps that's a circle with a check, and not just a plain check rating.

Theres other sites that test drove it already. Edmunds.com did a review on it. They pretty much review every car.
