Not so fast, Mike. C&D isn't exactly unbiased here.

From Radartest.com, read the article Whom Do You Trust. It seems a certain leading auto magazine editor is also an employee of the magazine's most highly rated detector.
Quote:
The world's largest auto enthusiast magazine, for example, employs a senior editor who, during much of his 30-year tenure there, has been on the payroll of one of the manufacturers. At the same time that he's been either personally conducting or heavily influencing the magazine's detector tests, he's also been writing puff pieces about his second employer, promoting their products in print and moonlighting as a technical writer and "consultant" for them. He's also conducted intelligence-gathering projects on behalf of this manufacturer, using his stature at the magazine and often assisted by the magazine's staff to gather dirt on journalists who don't find his employer's detector quite as wonderful as he does.


I'll trust Radartest.com's judgment on this and save myself a few hundred in the process. I've been using Escorts for more than a decade and the only speeding ticket I got was when I didn't have one mounted.
