\nEach year that Consumer Reports<\/em><\/a> offers up its annual list of Top American Picks, it seems less and less a consolation bracket and more like a reasonable set of choices. To wit, if you wanted the very best family-sized SUV (Chevrolet Traverse<\/a>) or fullsize pickup truck (Chevrolet Silverado<\/a>), Consumer Reports<\/em> will tell you that you’re best off choosing American, regardless of which list its from.<\/p>\n

Further, CR has found the Ford Fusion<\/a> and Mercury Milan<\/a> twins have proven to be more reliable than a Honda Accord<\/a> or Toyota Camry<\/a>. Blasphemy, you say? To borrow a marketing phrase from the Blue Oval itself, Drive One<\/em> and find out for yourself. We have<\/a>, and we found out that it’s a great car. Apparently, it’s also reliable. Not surprisingly, the Fusion managed to earn two more awards in its hybrid guise<\/a>, including CR’s Best Overall Car.<\/p>\n

All told, seven of the 10 awards handed out by CR went to Ford<\/a> – an impressive performance. Two Top Picks were filled by vehicles from General Motors<\/a> while Chrysler<\/a> didn’t have a single model on the list, which isn’t particularly surprising since the Dodge Ram<\/a> is the only model from the Pentastar that CR even recommends. Click here<\/a> to check out the rest of the winners from CR.<\/p>\n
