Best Cars 2015 With Consumer Reports - KTLA

Gayle Anderson was live in Santa Monica with Mike Quincy of CONSUMER REPORTS MAGAZINE with information from their annual April BEST CARS edition 2015. Consumer Reports Top Picks:. *For the first time since 1998, there are three domestic cars in CR’s lineup of Top Picks, signalling a resurgence in better quality vehicles from domestic manufacturers. *The Buick Regal is CR’s selection for sports sedan, where the BMW 3 Series has traditionally been a favorite. *In an impressive performance, one small manufacturer, Subaru, has three Top Picks: the Legacy in the mid-sized sedan category, Forester in small SUV, and Impreza in compact car. *Top Pick vehicles are those that ranked at or near the top of their respective classes in CR’s battery of tests. They also must have solid reliability (based on subscriber surveys) and good crash test scores (if included in crash or rollover tests conducted by the government or insurance industry). Brand Report Cards/Detroit Wakes Up:. *Buick has become the first domestic brand to break the top 10, moving up from 12th to 7th in the ranking. *Lexus topped our list again this year, thanks to a combination of very good road-test performance and solid reliability across all its products.
