The following table provides a comparison of the two editions of the 2007 Toyota RAV4, the 2007 Honda CR-V, the 2007 Toyota Prius, two of the editions of the 2007 Toyota Camry, and three of the editions of the 2007 Honda Accord. With regard to the above table, it should be noted that visitor comment dated July 22, 2005, suggests that the EPA's estimated miles per gallon for the Toyota Prius may be more accurate than Consumer Reports' reported miles per gallon. However, the difference between CR's reported miles per gallon and that of the visitor's may simply reflect a generally more conservative driving style in the Midwest.   Related Mini-Surveys A Toyota Owner Survey with Enquiries into Reliability Importance A Toyota Owner Satisfaction Poll with Enquiries into Toyota Durability An Owner Satisfaction Poll for Honda, Acura, Toyota, Lexus, Subaru, Nissan, Infiniti, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo Owners The True Value of a Big Three Big Three Bin Readiness General Motors Travails and Prospects Related Articles March 2005: Review of the 2005 Toyota Prius: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications May 2006: Review of the 2006 Toyota Prius Hybrid Hatchback: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Toyota Camry Sedan: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Honda Accord Sedan: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Honda CR-V Sport-Utility Vehicle: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications March 2007: Review of the 2007 Toyota RAV4 Sport-Utility Vehicle: Some Photographs, Distinctions, and Features and Specifications April 2006: In 2006, Toyota and Honda Rule Most Reliable List with 10 of 10 Best, GM Dominates Least Reliable List with 6 of 10 Worst: Reliability Gap Grows February 2007: The Reliable Two and Subaru Sweep 2007 CR Family Car Quick Picks with a Reliability History of Two or More Years: Small-SUV-versus-Family-Sedan Comparison Table Related Web Pages Auto Manufacturer Awards and Honors Roster of Vehicles with 300,000 or More Miles Table of Toyota Reliability Percentranks Table of Toyota Reliability Grades	Links to Amazon.com History Lit The Origins of the British (2006) by Stephen Oppenheimer Natasha's Dance: A Cultural History of Russia (2003) by Orlando Figes To view more fine literature, click here.
