Anyone know if the RL was even included in the latest Consumer Reports test?

My local paper listed all of the cars that met CR standards, and the RL wasn't even listed in this long list, so I suspect it wasn't included for some reason.

 

I've read the latest consumer reports issue. I suspect the RL is not listed as they haven't tested it yet. based on the magazine and my review of posts on the consumer reports RL discussion list, they will be testing it sometime this year.

I'm seriously considering purchasing an RL and am waiting for the '06 model to come out. Evidently, the 2006s will have a 'pre-collision' system.

 

2005 RL is too new to be considered in the tests. So they were not even "further down" on the list. Just not included at all. I think CS needs to open up categies for small luxury sedans, medium luxury sedans, and large luxury sedans to give this rather expanded segment of the car market enough room to compare models.
