Chevy Beats Toyota
. . . but CR's Top 10 is an American 1

Consumer Reports' annual April Auto Issue should be hitting shelves and mailboxes as you read this. Consumer Reports is stingy with free online content, but its top picks in 10 categories is linked here. The good news for the traditional American automakers is that Consumer Reports ranks the newish Chevrolet Silverado ahead of the also newish Toyota Tundra, largely because of reliability problems with the Toyota V-8. Congratulations Chevrolet. The bad news is that none of the rest of the top ten picks is from any of the formerly Big 3 automakers, and none of the rest of the top ten are UAW-made.
