I live in an affluent area or perhaps better to say a decent
neighborhood and in my area I'm surprised to see how few new Honda
Accords there are vs. new Camry's on the roads when I drive around. I
haven't taken any scientific poll but I'd say the new Camry vs. new
Accord is like 30 to 1. Surprisingly, aside from the Camrys, new
pick up trucks seem to be the next most popular (I think Chevy but not
sure). >> Stay informed about: Car and Driver 2008 10 Best cars |

Looking at this link, C&D had the 10 best cars back from 2003 to 2008 and
not one Toyota was in it. The Camry would be running while many of the "best
cars" will end up in the junk yards, or on the second or third engine or
transmission. Many of the elected cars are getting less than 20 mpg,
considering the energy crises, how "best" would that be? >> Stay informed about: Car and Driver 2008 10 Best cars |

The 10Best were always chosen by the criteria that C&D thought relevant.
Different people have different criteria as to what makes a 10Best car.
Obviously, your criteria differ. I have a 10Best car from the previous
decade. It is still going strong, but it only has about 155,000 mi on it.

The funny thing is how much clout CR has over car buyers. Don't think
they recommended the V6 Camry since the new gen in 2007. At least they
got that one right.

Look at it this way: the automotive 'zines tend to jump on
bandwagons, and support hometown favorites. Remember when every year the
"Car of The Year" would be some American POS like the Volare, X-car,
AMC/Renault Alliance, etc? CR may be too harsh on some really nice cars,
but they are usually really nice cars with high rates of component
failures or significant safety issues. The ones they like may be boring
<coughCamrycough> but they are usually reliable and competent. So you
pick whichever source best matches your own mindset. >> Stay informed about: Car and Driver 2008 10 Best cars |
