Below Average is half black and much below average is all black. None of the listed items were any less than average yet the overall prediction was much worse than average. Could it be a miss print?

New Car Prediction- Much Worse than Average

that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the breakdown. Everything is average or better except their "prediction". That prediction doesn't seem to be based on the evidence presented.
I sometimes think CR intentionally bashes Toyota so they don't sound like a shill for the company. I think they hold Toyota to a higher standard than anybody else (including Honda). This time, its just more obvious.
