Consumer Reports lists top picks for 2013
Feb 26th 2013, 20:46

Consumer Reports has unveiled its list of top automotive picks for 2013, and the news isn't great for Detroit. American brands were shut out of all 10 categories rated by the magazine.

Honda was the big winner, its Accord, CR-V and Odyssey taking the top spot in the Midsize, Small SUV and Minivan categories, even as the Civic was beaten by the Hyundai Elantra for the Budget Car crown and Subaru Impreza in the Compact sedan class.

The Toyota Prius stretched its streak as best Green Car to 10 years, while the Highlander was named best Midsize SUV and the FR-S from its Scion division tied for the best Sports Car win with its near twin, the Subaru BRZ.

The Audi A6 and BMW 328i took the Luxury Car and Sports sedan segments, respectively, both cited for a combination of performance, comfort and fuel economy.

Consumer Reports compiles its Top Picks list based on a combination of their results in the magazine's road tests, reliability reports from its subscribers and government crash test ratings.

Pickup trucks were left off this year's list because the latest vehicles in the category were not yet available for testing.
