I'm surprised no ToyoLexus fans have anything to say to this. Midsize premium car i love the GS but I would choose an A6 or an E-Class.

No Toyota Tundra for the large pickup . Maybe that why the toaster testers,(Consumer Reports) did not pick Toytie for their top pick , the sky is falling !!!!

Has no one noticed that even though the majority of the tops are german, that the single manufacturer with the most picks is Honda? I mean it doesn't matter how many german cars there are, just because a brand is from a certain place, it doesn't make it better than another brand. But analyzing brands individually gives a more accurate view.

"Accurate" means statistically sound. Hypothetically; if Audi fares well in this study, and get 6 picks, does this necessairly mean that Mercedes are making good cars as well? Not necessairly, but if Mercedes gets 6 picks, we can directly infer that Mercedes is doing well. This applies to Honda, so you german loving maniacs out there take a chill pill, this is not a study that particularly boasts well of the german brands.
