yeah sailor that was my thought...
i guess it makes sense for cr to bash the vehicles that fall outside of regular parameters... most people who swear by cr and cr only really wouldn't appreciate what those kinds of vehicles offer whether its off-road ability, pure sportiness, or sex appeal. if there was some kind of special bump in the numbers for a vehicle like a jeep for its special abilities, it might score well enough to get purchased by someone who is a pure appliance buyer... and they would not be happy. so i guess it's good that they score the way they do... and that most people know how they do it and what to expect.
though i find it odd when a 2 seater car can still score well... i would think the strong majority of buyers need more than two seats, so why doesn't it fail automatically?... a wrangler unlimited might not be the most comfortable, but it would at least be possible to drive your family of four somewhere, whereas it's just not possible in say a miata. i'm sure for those types of vehicles, they assume the purchaser knows what they are looking at and scores the car differently. why they can't do that for other specialty vehicles is where i see issues. I guess as long as next to the crappy score, they attempt to give whatever vehicle it is accolades for what it does do better than any other car.
