In the market for a new car? Consumer Reports is out with a list of the most reliable brands—and none of the top 10 are American. Ford is the first US company to show up on the list, at No. 18, and the second most reliable US brand, Buick, saw the biggest decline of the entire list: It fell 11 spots this year, to No. 19. If you must buy American, know that Taurus is the most reliable model for Ford while Mustang is the least; Encore is the most reliable model for Buick while Enclave is the least. Or see the next page for the top 10 brands least likely to give you trouble:
- Lexus, with GX as the most reliable and IS as the least. Lexus is the No. 1 Asian automaker for reliability.
