Default Consumer Reports: Lexus SC430 Rated Highest Among Toyota... # 2 of 300 Overall! Wow!

CR's annual reliability report...SC tops the list...# 2 of 300 overall. Nice article. Funny, as I type this I am looking at my $4k CPO Warranty invoice that I got when I just picked up my SC!

Lots of mid sized wanna-be SUV's and trucks made the bottom ten list.

IMHO this and the JD Powers annual problems/100 cars are the best reports.

Surprised to see this though....

".....but the worst is the Lexus GS (AWD), which scores in the bottom 10 percent, and receives a much worse than average rating, and is not recommended in our testing. While it is true that Lexus models tend to be reliable and test well, this is not the case for all Lexus vehicles."

toocool-yeah me too about the GS. I thought those cars were solid. I know a lot of GS'ers that have cars in the 150-200k range. A buddy of mine has the original GS300 two tone pearl/gray with like 300k on it (1993).

Guys, it's the gs AWD and NOT the RWD. Most GS's are very solid.

No surprise there, very few issues get posted here vs other makes/models. This gives owners more time to mod and appreciate the car for what it is instead of always fixing something. The SC430 is truly a proven car.
