As I said, CR rates most of what we like as "below average" or worse (black not red filled in circles or whatever). That so called reliability index half the time is based on the brands' past performance rather than the actual car. And is anyone from this board who is considering buying another sports car solely concerned about its reliability? We (I think) care about driving dynamics, feel, sound, (add your favorite)... Things that are not (really) measured in CR's world.

BTW the high residuals in Europe says something about how desirable this car is.

Edit: I didn't read anything CR has to say about the car, but I bet it was negatively focused on space/creature comforts, lack of NVH dampening, and lack of storage space. All of these are recognized limitations to what is supposed to be one of the most sublime driving experiences (so we've been told).
