Toyota Camry, again?

Wouldn't the Lexus LS460 be a better choice? Or are these votes value-oriented?

TRUCK? Where? The chev is the closest to that description,the rest are nice cross over vehicles but not trucks! The chev is nothing more than a nice towing princess,(I would like one for that).In the truck catagorie the Dodge Power wagon (If you can afford the gas)is in a class of its own!The chevy off-road package concists of stickers and better shocks!(big deal).The rest don't even have that to brag about!I forgot to mention the Jeep Rubicon (KING).The journalist should rename this pagent to cross over of the year.The utility has been missing in trucks and sports utility for some time!I am happy to hear the chev is easy on gas,If they could only improve fuel mielage and maintain off road ability and to be utilitarian! "TRUCK!"

I should have been more specific, The Dodge Power Wagon ,Hummer H-1, Mercedes UNIMOG and the Jeep Rubicon are the only trucks and SUV period!It doesn't mean I don't like the rest for towing and loading them up with whatever, they are watered down 4x4s.Princesses!On the upside they are pretty.

Doesn't the Edge and the CX7 share the same platform? If so, what does that say for the 49 "automotive journalists"?

Affordable and fuel efficient. That pretty much eliminates every European car sold here.

Great choices. Congratulations to all the automakers, their parent companies and subsidiaries on being chosen.

These are all pretty bland cars... I know this is probably supposed to be about the "average joe", but can't they excite us with something expensive?
