I suscribe to Consumer Reports and the main Toyota vehicles i would be
interested in are always at the top of the pack.
that is.. Sienna, Tundra, Corolla, Highlander, RAV4 and I expect the new
RAV6
Consumer Reports has a "thing" with Toyota and has for years.

I have always been leary of CR, but when I looked at MSN consumer
reviews, Toyota still had great reviews, a 8.1 from users.

Then I checked Honda and they had a 9.3.

Toyota and Honda used to run neck and neck, it appears Honda has jumped
ahead in the mid-size sedan.


That's entirely subjective and a matter of perception.


Sure it is, it is a subjective evaluation based upon whatever priorities
each owner places on their car. But then again, how many consumer
reviews are not subjective and based upon perception.

If you look at JD Powers you will see that even though they have gone ot
great lengths to break down the reviews into specific segments you will
see they are still very subjective and based upon perception.
