I too had been following this. Does seem like they got a problem car. Why did they stop in May? They mentioned that they were going the full two years and in the last report - they mentioned reporting more next month.
tip - don't forget to look at the picture with each month - it changes monthly. |

give the archives a whirl. this has been discussed previously. the general consensus is that their early troubles were a bit blown out of proportion, and a bit unlucky.

It's kind of odd that a company like Edmunds would test a relatively limited production car like this, in a similiar way like Consumer Reports doing a full 2 year test on a Ferrari just doesn't seem right. "we love the acceleration, but the fuel mileage was terrible compared to the Toyota Corolla we're also doing a long term test on" Interesting reading though...
Go to the page below, and use the "other months" drop down menu to see reports from other months of the long term test...
