A couple things to keep in perspective. Car manufacturers usually have press fleets which rotate on a weekly or biweekly basis to different media outlets/reviewers (in contrast, I believe CR buys their cars). It's possible and likely those reviewers don't experience the same bugs in a week of driving that an owner would. And outlets sampling from press fleets are simply not set up to have the same kind of data CR or JD Power does. It's also possible and likely that many owners don't experience bugs (I hope we're so lucky when we pick ours up later this month); don't forget there are thousands of these things hitting the road every month. It's not a denial of issues just some [optimistic] perspective.
