There is a reason why the toyota Camry is the best selling automobile period. and TOYOTA is ontop.

Also remember that the time the article is published in relation to the car release date plays an important role.

Just take a look at the same site.

http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/consumer ... index.html

http://www.edmunds.com/reviews/mostwant ... index.html

One has the Tundra for fullsized, another has the F-150
but thats editors vs consumers


The real benchmark has always been the JD power and Associates

Nissan has won JD Power awards for their engines. the 350 has won automobile of the year also and has a total of 41 awards.
"Winning a Ward's 10 Best Engines award for the sixth consecutive year proves the depth of Nissan's engine development expertise," Visnic said. "We believe the VQ 3L V-6 is approaching the sort of 'legendary' status afforded to a select group of timeless engine designs."
