Today on Yahoo!'s main page, they have a story for cars to avoid. The cover shot was of a Honda Crosstour.

Here's the article:

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/autos_content_landing_pages/1285/best-and-worst-new-cars-for-the-new-year/

But I just checked it, and it seems they changed up the picture to the second car on their list instead of the first one:



Is it just me, or does there seem to be some bias at the Yahoo! headquarters. Having a picture of a Honda next to the word "Avoid" isn't acceptable, but having a Dodge in front of it is?

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

It's an evil conspiracy. They'll identify the Crosstour as a car to avoid, but they'll be damned if they run its picture everywhere.

You're thinking too hard.


Yahoo typically cycles and changes the pictures several times a day.

The Caliber should be avoided at all costs.

At around ~$9000, it seems to be a good deal.

I think we're looking at different pages. The screenshot above looks nothing like where I (and presumably the rest of us) see a Crosstour.

If you're using old Yahoo!, a) how, and 2) that would make sense. I hate new Yahoo!

Okay, yeah, I see the Caliber there.

I still don't think it's a conspiracy theory favoring Honda.

The Caliber isn't that bad.
