- I have a really good example of CU's bias. Look at "badge" engineered
- cars, such as the Ford Explorer/Mazda Navajo, or the Mistubishi
- Eclipse/Chrysler Laser. The Japanese car will get a better reliability
- rating than the American counterpart, *even though both cars are
- identical*. That cut it for me that CU is biased towards Japanese
- cars.
