lexus_2013Lexus, Toyota and Acura top Consumer Reports’ annual reliability survey, but a brand from General Motors and two from Europe have cut into the top 10.

Overall, Japanese brands took seven of the top 10 spots. All Lexus and Acura models earned an above average reliability score. All Infiniti, Mazda, and Toyota models were average or better.

The consumer magazine, whose annual ranking based on surveys of its readers are closely watched, says Audi has quietly been climbing through the reliability ranks.
