Consumer Reports names most reliable vehicles (ZT)

The single most reliable car in America is a hybrid, according to the December issue of Consumer Reports -- though it's not the one you're probably thinking!

Top reliability honors go to the new Honda Insight hybrid, which looks just like a Prius. But overall, Honda came in at No. 2 for brand reliability.

The No. 1 brand for reliability is Toyota's Scion. Toyota's own nameplate is No. 3, following Honda. After win, place and show, Consumer Reports ranks Infiniti, Acura, Mitsubishi, Lexus (the former No. 1) and Hyundai as the next most reliable vehicles.

Isn't it interesting that Scion is one of cheapest cars sold, yet it's the most reliable? As the headline of the Consumer Reports article states, "High price does not equal quality." You don't always get what you pay for when it comes to cars.

Who's stinking it up on the other end of the spectrum? One word: Chrysler. The second worst for reliability was Cadillac, followed by Dodge and then Jeep. What was Fiat thinking when taking on a share in Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep from the United States government?!
