Forbes.com Toughest Cars On The Road
Hannah Elliot combines the results of J.D. Power and Consumer Reports to determine the toughest cars on the road results show two Lexus models among the top contenders.
Quotes from the story:
Anxious drivers may take comfort that the Toyota Prius--at the center of dozens of lawsuits blaming the company for traffic fatalities due to alleged unintended acceleration--is among the countrys sturdiest cars.
Two more Toyota owned models, the $37,625 Lexus RX SUV and $65,380 Lexus LS 460 sedan, are also among the toughest cars on the road.
To compile our list, we started with the results of J.D. Power's 2010 Dependability Study, released this month. We took the top three vehicles listed in each segment and whittled down contenders by selecting only those that Consumer Reports labeled "Most Reliable" in a survey issued in its April 2010 issue. We then eliminated any vehicles with an overall CR score lower than 75.
