I still think CR is a bunch of bull because there are no domestics at the top of the list. Camry is JUNK, it has been recalled, its UGLY, BLAND, and MORE EXPENSIVE than the rest. So tell me, what are you paying for?! And dont give me that "Because its a TOYOTA" nonsense, because as you can see, Blandyota has now become Recallyota.

Wasnt CR the one who rated poorly the 08 Accord? Strange how it depends on how they rate it as to how some take it.

CR admitted in last months issue that they were recommending toyotas simply because of their name, and not even looking at reliability reports!

They likely have older toyotas. 07 camry is dropped to below average in reliability due to cronic tranny problems in the 6 speed. Tundra also gets a poor mark. A couple of lexus' dropped as well. I know just as many people driving the big 3s vehicles and very happy.

I was at a buddy of mines house yesterday, helping him to alittle remodel work. We ran to the hardware store in his 95 silverado which ive mentioned before. I made a note to look at the mileage...522,168 after the trip.

Well Ben that is great he has that many miles. I dont doubt it at all. I drove a rental to Adrian Mich. today. 07 Pontiac Terrent. 3.4L little under powered but not bad. Nice leather. I have no problem with GM cars. I just dont see the need to bash Toyota all the time. And the friends I have own a 07 Tundra and a 07 Camry and a 08 Corrola. They all do love their cars. They have no issues.
