Toyota, Genesis among Consumer Reports' top auto picks

DETROIT (AP) — Toyota has four of the 10 vehicles on Consumer Reports' annual top picks, the most of any brand.

The Toyota Corolla and Toyota Camry are the magazine's choice for best small and midsize cars. The Toyota Sienna led the minivan category and the Toyota Highlander is the best midsize SUV.

Genesis, Audi, BMW, Lexus and Porsche were the top-performing brands in the survey.

The rankings are based on driving tests as well as reliability and satisfaction scores from Consumer Reports' subscribers. Top picks also must have standard automatic emergency braking and forward collision warning systems.

Consumer Reports' rankings are closely watched by the industry since many buyers make decisions based on its advice.
