Consumer Reports said 41 of 44 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models in the survey scored average or better in predicted reliability. The Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan "are among the most reliable cars," Consumer Reports said in a statement.

Toyota, meanwhile, saw the V-6 version of the Camry and the four-wheel-drive V-8 version of the Tundra pickup truck, both redesigned for 2007, rate below average.

The all-wheel drive version of the Lexus GS sedan, from Toyota's luxury brand, also received a below-average rating.


一直给丰田唱赞歌的cosumer report补充说道:


"Consumer Reports will no longer recommend any new or redesigned Toyota-built models without reliability data on a specific design," Consumer Reports said in a press release.

Consumer Reports previously had recommended any new or redesigned Toyota model due to the auto maker's track record.

原文:UPDATE:Toyota Slips,Ford Improves In Consumer Reports Survey
解读:班主任CR在班会上指出:TOYOTA同学退步,FORD同学进步

DETROIT -(Dow Jones)- Toyota Motor Corp. (TM) has slipped in the Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey to the point where the magazine will no longer automatically recommend the auto maker's new and redesigned models. Meanwhile, Ford Motor Co. (F) showed significant improvements.

班主任CR:TOYOTA同学在每年的评先进中有退步,今后不再自动把新的作业和补交的作业列为范文。同时FORD同学有很大进步。


The survey results are the latest blow to Toyota, which has been stealing market share from U.S. auto makers but is dealing with recent challenges. It has posted year-over-year sales declines in recent months and has seen some of its top talent, including its top U.S. executive, defect to U.S. auto makers.

这个结果对TOYOTA同学是个打击,TOYOTA同学最近受到其他同学的挑战,其成绩近几个月一直在下降。


Consumer Reports' survey follows other studies showing that U.S. auto makers are closing the quality gap with Asian auto makers. Still, brands from Asian auto makers top the overall predicted reliability list and U.S. brands account for almost half of the models on the "Least Reliable" list.

班主任CR和其他老师发现美国同学的成绩和亚洲同学的成绩之间的差别正在缩小。然而亚洲同学总的成绩仍是顶尖的,成绩最差的仍差不多有一半是美国同学。


Consumer Reports said 41 of 44 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models in the survey scored average or better in predicted reliability. The Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan "are among the most reliable cars," Consumer Reports said in a statement.

班主任CR表示FORD,LINCOLN 和MERCURY同学在所修的44门课程中,有41门成绩在中等或更好。FORD的FUSION作业和MERCURY的MILAN作业,列为最好的成绩之列。


Toyota, meanwhile, saw the V-6 version of the Camry and the four-wheel-drive V-8 version of the Tundra pickup truck, both redesigned for 2007, rate below average.

TOYOTA同学在2007年主课的作业CAMRY-V6和TUNDRA-V8,成绩都在平均之下。


The all-wheel drive version of the Lexus GS sedan, from Toyota's luxury brand, also received a below-average rating.

TOYOTA家LEXUS同学的作业GS-AWD,成绩也在平均之下。


"Consumer Reports will no longer recommend any new or redesigned Toyota-built models without reliability data on a specific design," Consumer Reports said in a press release.

家长会上,班主任说今后不再把TOYOTA新的作业和补交的作业在批改之前自动列为范文。


Consumer Reports previously had recommended any new or redesigned Toyota model due to the auto maker's track record.

班主任以前基于TOYOTA同学一贯的表现,自动将TOYOTA的作业列为范文。


A Toyota spokesman said the auto maker looks forward to analyzing the Consumer Reports results, since its own data haven't showed the same kinds of problems.

John McCandless, speaking to reporters after an Automotive Press Association luncheon here presenting the results, said that some of the complaints noted by Consumer Reports involved shared systems.

McCandless said the survey reported problems on systems the V-6 version of the Camry shares with the four-cylinder version, which is still recommended by Consumer Reports. The same situation applies with the four-wheel-drive versions of the Tundra, he said.

"We're looking forward to analyzing the Consumer Reports data," McCandless said. "But none of our internal data shows a problem or consumer dissatisfaction with these models."

He also noted that Toyota remains one of the top auto makers in the survey.

(TOYOTA同学的辩解,觉得有些委屈,说自己仍是好学生,略)


Toyota ranks third in reliability among auto makers, behind Honda Motor Co. ( HMC) and Subaru, the automotive division of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd.

TOYOTA家族在所有学生中(平均成绩)排第三,仅次于HONDA家族和SUBARU家族。


Consumer Reports said 34 of the 39 models in the "Most Reliable" list are Asian, with 17 from Toyota.

班主任说,在39门课中,亚洲学生有34门排第一,其中TOYOTA同学获得17个第一。


"Ford continues to improve," said David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports Auto Test Center. "The reliability of their cars has steadily improved over the years and is showing consistency. We believe Toyota is aware of its issues and is trying to fix problems quickly."

老师:FORD同学一直在进步,成绩近年来一直稳定提高。相信TOYOTA同学已经感到了,正试图迅速改正错误。


Speaking at the luncheon, Champion said he wasn't quite sure why there were such differences between different versions of the same Toyota vehicle.

老师不明白TOYOTA同学不同的科目成绩为什么差距这么大。


Mike Hardie, global manager of quality data for Ford, said the auto maker is " excited" about the results.

FORD同学对最近考试成绩很高兴。


"It shows the processes we put in place for solving problems at the company are working, have worked and will work in the future," he said.

FORD同学:我的努力初见成效,今后要大见成效。


Nineteen domestic models were added to Consumer Reports' "Newly Recommended" list, including General Motors Corp.'s (GM) GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook, and Chrysler LLC's Dodge Charger.

本地同学的19项作业被列为新范文,包括GM同学的ACADIA,SATURN的OUTLOOK,还有CHRYSLER家DODGE同学的CHARGER。


Among brand ratings, Honda topped the list - followed by its luxury Acura brand and Toyota's Scion - while Buick was the highest-rated brand from a U.S. auto maker. Ford's Mercury brand was close behind Buick.

所有学生中,HONDA排名第一,之后是其兄弟ACURA,和TOYOTA家的SCION。BUICK同学
在美国学生中列首位,FORD家的MERCURY和BUICK成绩很接近。


Ford's Land Rover brand was judged the least reliable. Ford is looking to sell Land Rover and Jaguar.

FORD家的LAND-ROVER排最后,FORD家准备把LAND-ROVER和JAGUAR卖掉。(家规太严了!)


The survey's findings are based on responses on almost 1.3 million vehicles owned or leased by subscribers to Consumer Reports or its Web site. The survey was conducted in the spring of 2007 by the magazine's national survey research center and covered model years 1998 to 2007.
