Any concerns? Comments??
From the posts on this forum, we saw it coming and we all knew the risk of getting a 1st year new model. I wonder if this will change the future of the twins, sale numbers, and their re-sale value.

Haven't read the article but, I'm not concerned with their "opinion(s)" on known problems on the twins. Disagree with "poor quality". Agree with @
autobrz - it's not a deal-breaker.
I've subscribed to CR maybe two or three times in my lifetime and I've noticed they are often biased or often they don't test every brand or preferred model of a brand of appliance. Yeah, they do bring up pertinent issues at times but, if I subscribe to their magazine they also require me to subscribe to their website to see information - not a good deal for me as a consumer.
Not sure if I agree that their target demographic audience is "the elderly"...seems like they are more geared to the "trendy" generation of upwardly mobile people who are gonna spend money on stuff they review in their articles.
Hey, Consumer Reports!!! The 86 cars should be a car enthusiast "Recommended Buy"! But, that's OK, we prefer the badge of honor to be "Banned by Consumer Reports" cause very few of us can recommend you as relevant authority on cars!!!
