We see a constant stream of ads for the C-Max hybrid (not the Energi) on MSNBC and HGTV.

1. ConsumerReports.org is not an "agency". They are a for-profit magazine which sells advertising.

 

Valkraider,

Thanks for all of your very informative posts.  However, your description of Consumer Reports is inaccurate.  True, as you say, they are not an "agency."   Below their magazine's table of contents, they describe themselves as an independent and not for profit consumer-product-testing organization.  They say they do not "accept paid advertising."  I have not seen any advertising in Consumer Reports, except for their own reports and services.
