The leading duo each earned a score of 77 out of 100, putting them three points ahead of cross-town rival <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/toyota\">Toyota<\/a>, who&#8217;s score of 74 was no doubt affected when CR yanked its Recommendation off eight of its products following their recent recall and safety woes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/hyundai\">Hyundai<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/nissan\">Nissan<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/volkswagen\">Volkswagen<\/a> also performed well, scoring ahead of <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/ford\">Ford<\/a>, which was the highest ranking American automaker on the list. <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/mercedes-benz\">Mercedes-Benz<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/bmw\">BMW<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/saab\">Saab<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/volvo\">Volvo<\/a> each earned plaudits for improving on their reliability scores from last year, leaving only one automaker to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2009\/11\/19\/report-chrysler-pledges-to-be-quality-leader-by-2012\/\">languish at the very bottom<\/a> of the list. Drum roll please&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/autoblog.com\/make\/chrysler\">Chrysler<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>The Pentastar was the only company to score worse this year than last, though there was one lone bright spot shining from Auburn Hills: the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/model\/ram+1500\">Dodge Ram 1500<\/a>, which is the only Chrysler model on <em>Consumer Reports<\/em>&#8216; Recommended list.
