Consumer Reports readers rave/rip hybrid issue

According to CR's blog, Notes from the test track, the hybrid article in the April issue struck a chord among CR's readership. Though Notes only provided a sample of the responses, they showed a gamut of reactions from agreement ("...the facts are in and I agree that maybe hybrids aren't the best investment...") to opposition. ("All of your hybrid car reviews are crap.") Two readers even shared contradictory experiences with their Highlander hybrids.

The hybrid reaction, though, is apparently one bag of mail. Notes will later present accusations that CR is biased against domestic vehicles.
