Survey Says - but can we believe it?
This one is reported in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"The German automobile club and Europe’s biggest motoring organisation has found itself in a public relations pile-up after its vaunted Car of the Year Award was exposed as a fraud. ADAC says it is Europe's biggest auto club with more than 18 million members, offering breakdown help, safety tests and many other services to a nation of car enthusiasts. And last week, it angrily denied reports that voting in a poll of readers of its monthly magazine on Germany's Favorite Car was tampered with. But the association has now admitted that its head of communications did indeed inflate the figures by ten times because hardly anyone actually bothered to vote."
