Still confused how the RX and GX are in the same "category". Those are night and day different vehicles...not even comparable.

^ Interesting as well. Seeing as how the RX is unibody and the GX is body on frame....

Second post after watching the video...

What the hell happened to car categories?! ES a compact car? I what nordic viking country is that a compact car. In and European nation that is a land yacht. "Large SUV" is a Tahoe? What is the Suburban? Land whale? The new car lingo is so infuriating.

I could imagine this if it were the 70's. "The light car segment goes to the Chevy Impala for its impressive weight reduction to get it under 3 tons"

Agreed. The GS is considered mid-sized premium and the ES is compact premium yet the ES is an inch longer than the GS!

Some of their ratings are in direct conflict with Consumer Reports, Edmunds, etc. The Malibu rates average and the Challenger below. These guys are about as accurate as their classifications.

They started the rating in 2013. Just took them that long to figure it out it was dependable! I don't mind...LOL!!
