    Best Cars of 2016?

    According to Consumer Reports --

    Every year, Consumer Reports and its team of automotive experts test and scrutinize virtually every car sold in the United States. Of those cars, a select few stand above the rest and join the vaunted group of vehicles known as Consumer Reports' Top Picks.

    My wife has a Camry - on of the top picks. But it is a 2005. But she does not like the newer styling so she may never buy another.

    Best is very subjective.
    Life is complex.

      We have a 2005 Camry too, and we may never buy another, because it will outlast us.

        At least I have a Subaru, not one of the best model for 1016 but, good enough!

          I have a 2002 Ford Escape and I am darned sure that I will NEVER buy another one.

            I have a 2016 Honda Fit, and am loving it. Two 300 mile round trips to Portland have measured in at 44 mpg. Using cruise control at speed limit + 5 mph. Road noise ??? We used to have a scion xB. You couldn't hold a conversation at 60 mph. The Fit is like riding in a confessional.

              Wife recently traded a 2004 Camry for a 2014. BEWARE! The new low-cut "air scoop" plastic pseudo-bumpers are VERY fragile! They will not clear many parking lot dividers.

                I'm still surprised my Cross Trek Sub. had no damage after hitting a deer a few weeks ago!

                  other than the mazda and it only in cursory fashion not a one of them is interesting to me in the least

                  consumer reports - blah, blah, blah - people still take their car auto reporting seriously???

                    I bet that was expensive.

                        Toyota have got a really weird exaggerated dovetail grille thing going on these days , cues from their flagship Lexus I suppose, Audi etc.
                        Gone a bit too far I think, the dawning of a new age of ugly.

                        maybe they have some new models coming out , The Toyota Electrolux, Hoover, and Tellus.

                          That must qualify as an antique!
