Japanese automakers dominate Consumer Reports survey
Only one American vehicle cracked the Top Picks list. General Motors Corp.'s Chevrolet Avalanche was named Best Pickup Truck.
Rounding out the top 10 were: Best Fun to Drive, Mazda MX-5 Miata; Best Small Sedan, Hyundai Elantra SE; Best Upscale Sedan, Infiniti G37; and Best Family Sedan, Honda Accord.
American vehicles were pummeled in the magazine's April survey, with Detroit's Big Three finishing in three of the lowest four spots. Overall, the Detroit automakers fared worse than they did in the 2008 survey.
Chrysler LLC, which tied with Suzuki for last place in the 2008 survey, held the bottom rank alone this year. The magazine again didn't recommend a single Jeep, Dodge or Chrysler vehicle.
Of the 15 automakers ranked, Chrysler finished 15th, GM 14th and Ford Motor Co. 12th.
The magazine did praise new Ford vehicles like the Flex and new F-150.
'Ford continues to improve in reliability, and some of its cars now rival the best from Japan,' said the magazine said, which now recommends 70 percent of Ford's vehicles it tested.
The magazine also noted that 'new models from GM now rank among the best in our testing, although overall reliability, even among some of the new models, still lags behind most of the competition.'
Mercedes-Benz saw its ratings improve. Consumer Reports said it now recommends two-thirds of its vehicles.
In overall reliability, GM fell below Suzuki to score second-last overall with a 57.
Ford Motor Co. had a 63 score, compared to Suzuki's 60.
Honda Motor Co. had the best overall rating with a 78, ahead of Subaru's 75 and Toyota's 54.
U.S. models accounted for 8 of the 10 worst scores in testing and reliability ratings, with the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara scoring just 17 out of 100. The Lexus LS 460L scored a 99 out of a 100 as the all-around highest.
The magazine recommends 95 percent of Honda's vehicles tested, 100 percent of Subaru's and 89 percent of Toyota's. It only recommends 17 percent of GM's and none of Chrysler's.
In light of the sagging economy, Consumer Reports introduced a new group of awards for Best Value in nine different categories, including small cars, family cars, hatchback/wagons, small SUVs and midsized SUVs.
Of 41 vehicles honored for best value, not a single one was built by a U.S. automaker. Japanese automakers picked up 35 awards, while Korean automaker Hyundai won three, including Best Value Midsize SUV for the Hyundai Santa Fe.
Just three were built by a non-Asian automakers: Best Hatchback (Volkwsagen Rabbit); Best Sporty Car (BMW AG's Mini Cooper); the Volvo C30 was a third runner up in the category.
Consumer Reports has conducted the annual survey since 1936.
