So I was surfing the web, minding my own business when I stumbled upon this article from MSN Autos.
Consumer Reports' 2012 Top Picks
The best models of the year in 10 categories.
(Note: Consumer Reports has no relationship with any advertisers on MSN.)
A redesigned, significantly improved Camry Hybrid has helpedToyota capture five of the 10 spots on this year's Top Picks list.
The other Toyotas that made the cut are the Prius hybrid, theHighlander and RAV4 SUVs, and the Sienna minivan. This is the first time since 2003 that one brand has so dominated the list.
In addition to the Camry and Highlander, two other new picks are the Hyundai Sonata and the redesigned Subaru Impreza. The other selections are returning models: the Chevrolet Avalanche, Ford Mustang, and Infiniti G.
Toyota's ability to maintain its competitive lead among hybrids and SUVs is a big factor in its strong presence on this year's list. But another factor is today's weaker minivan field. The current Sienna scored lower in our tests than its predecessor, but the front-wheel-drive version is the only minivan that didn't have below-average reliability in our latest survey. So it's the only minivan we recommend.
Our Top Picks are the best all-around models in their categories, chosen from the more than 260 vehicles we've recently tested. For car shoppers, they are a great place to start. To see the best & worst 2012 cars and best new-car car values, go to Consumer Reports' annual auto issue hub.

My job at the dealership is to provide information for my customers. That means I have to be a student of the industry. When someone asks me why I should buy my car instead of the competitor, I need to have the facts. I love finding impartial third party sources that validate what I already know...my products are the best!
