A complaint I've seen leveled against CR is that because it's not an enthusiast publication, it tends to unfairly penalize cars which have enthusiast appeal at at price to more pedestrian aspects. Things like infotainment ratings penalties in sports cars fall into this category. Do you think this is a fair criticism?

You’re a rental business, but a ton of the attention over the years has come from your work in both tears downs and later on, rather sophisticated optical measurements. In some cases I’d rather buy one of your used and checked lenses over a brand new model! Was this aspect always something you wanted to be part of the business, or did it happen organically as an offshoot of the need to check your own rentals?

Do you feel that it puts a bit of distance between you and the consumer by not living with a single car day to day?
