Toyota earns five Top 10 Spots in 2012 Top Picks!

Consumer Reports released their Top Picks for 2012 yesterday and Toyota is the first brand to earn half of the top 10 spots in nearly a decade. The redesigned Camry Hybrid and Highlander edged out the competition to become Top Picks in the Family Sedan and Family SUV categories, respectively.  For the 11th time and ninth consecutive year, the Toyota Prius earned the top spot in the Green Car category.  Both records have not been claimed by any other model in the history of the Top Picks.  RAV4 (Small SUV) and Sienna (Family Hauler) are best in their categories.   

“Every year, the competition grows tighter,” according to Consumer Reports Automotive Editor Rik Paul.  “In recent years, as many as nine different brands have taken the top spots.  Combined with the improved Camry, Toyota’s ability to maintain a competitive lead among hybrids and SUVs is a big factor in its strong presence on this year’s list.”

Consumer Reports’ Top Picks are the best all-around models in their categories, chosen from more than 275 vehicles.  To read more, click here

Small SUV: Toyota RAV4
Family Sedan: Toyota Camry hybrid
SUV: Toyota Highlander
Minivan: Toyota Sienna
Green car: Toyota Prius
