I saw that this morning and thought "TOTAL BS". Consumer Reports is becoming more and more Japanese bias IMO (and my opinion is jaded). This is why MB was going after them for their 'reliability' report. It is totally subjective and unless you personally put all stock in CR articles, it doesn't really hold any weight.

I would not trade my X5 for any other vehicle in terms of road safety. I've seen too many accident pics where X drivers come out unharmed from severe accidents.

Last I checked the X5 with air-bag options had a 5-star safety rating, as high as it gets, not sure how it doesn't make the list.
