Bleeker Of the 38 models that scored best by Consumer Reports' predicted short-term reliability, 17 (18 counting one rebadge marketed by another company) were engineered by Toyota Motor Corporation and 7 were engineered by Honda Motor Company. Of Toyota Motor Corporation's 17 best, 12 come from its Toyota line, 3 come from its Lexus line and 2 come from its Scion line. Of Honda Motor Company's 7 best, 6 come from its Honda line and 1 comes from its Acura line. The following table lists Toyota's best, by CR's predicted short-term reliability for model year 2008. Toyota Motor Corporation's 2008 Vehicles with Consumer Reports' Highest Predicted Short-Term Reliability Small Cars The Toyota Yaris The legendary Toyota Corolla The Scion xA Family Cars The Toyota Prius The Toyota Camry Hybrid Upscale/Luxury Cars The Lexus GS450h The rear-wheel-drive Lexus IS Small SUV The 4-cylinder Toyota RAV4 Midsize SUVs The Toyota Highlander The Toyota 4Runner The Lexus RX (350 and 400h) Large SUV The legendary Toyota Land Cruiser Wagons The Scion xB The Toyota Matrix Minivan The Toyota Sienna Small Pickup Truck The 4-cylinder Toyota Tacoma Large Pickup Truck The 8-cylinder (V8) 2-wheel-drive Toyota Tundra Links are to AutoOnInfo.net reviews of model year 2007 editions. The Toyota Land Cruiser is the only large SUV to make CR's 2008 most reliable list, the Toyota Sienna is the only minivan to make CR's 2008 most reliable list, and the 4-cylinder Toyota Tacoma is the only small pickup truck to make CR's 2008 most reliable list. The following table lists Honda's best, by CR's predicted short-term reliability for model year 2008. Honda Motor Company's 2008 Vehicles with Consumer Reports' Highest Predicted Short-Term Reliability Small Cars The Honda Fit   (Auto on Info's Top Car Pick of 2007) The Honda Civic (DX, LX and EX, GX, and Si) Family Car The Honda Accord Upscale/Luxury Car The Acura TSX Small SUVs The Honda Element The Honda CR-V Midsize SUV The Honda Pilot Links are to AutoOnInfo.net reviews of model year 2007 editions. The following chart depicts each manufacturer's percentage share of the best by CR's predicted short-term reliability. Hyundai Motor Company has 3 vehicles on CR's most reliable list for 2008, while there is not a single GM-engineered vehicle. Little Hyundai clobbers big GM once again. And, as usual, GM dominates the worst of 2008, as the following chart depicts. Honda has no entry on CR's ignominious list of the least reliable vehicles of 2008; Toyota has one entry - the 8-cylinder 4-wheel-drive Tundra pickup. CR's 2008 predicted short-term reliability of a model is based on the model's infrequency of serious problems within the 3 most-recent model years, if the model has not been refreshed within the past 3 model years; otherwise, CR's predicted short-term reliability of a model is based on the model's infrequency of serious problems within the 2 most-recent model years or the most-recent model year, depending on the model year of refreshment.
