Not a fan of Consumers Digest due to the magazine having ads.

"Luxury Cars" should be renamed "Tier 2 Luxury Cars". None of the cars listed are Tier 1.

"Sporty Cars"...the MINI...really? It's the worst rated vehicle available as far as reliablilty and dependability. BMW admits it and thumbs their nose at their own customers. How can it possibly be included.

"Midsize SUV" - This segment is defined by the RX, still the best SUV, especially for the price in this category. Even the Venza could make an appearance here.

I wouldn't put too much stock into a report like this.
This is not a dependability study. It's a consumers guide to "best buys" in the automotive industry. It means simply one thing: Who offers the
most features/fun/luxury, for the cheapest price
. That's it. The list is dead on.
