LEON HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: All right, this next segment is bound to get your motor running, this morning, even if you're not in the market for a new car. "Consumer Reports" is out with its annual auto issue, and David Champion of "Consumer Reports" joins us from New York to talk about the magazine's top picks for 2002. Good to see you, how are you?

DAVID CHAMPION, "CONSUMER REPORTS": Nice to see you, Leon.

HARRIS: All right. Let's try to see if we can get through as many of these as he we can. I've got my list here. All right. Let's start with the one you guys said was the most fun car to drive. Which one was that, that was the Subaru Impreza.

CHAMPION: Yes, the Subaru Impreza WRX. It is based on the European Rally car, it is a real joy to drive. You get into it, and the steering wheel, the chassis, the whole car is just a joy to drive, on our test track, I think it was probably the most popular car for us to drive around there, we are all car nuts, and had a great time.

HARRIS: Mr. Champion, I'm sorry, David, we are going to interrupt because we have live news, but stay right there. We are going to get back to you in just a moment.
