Final Consumer Reports notes on hybrids

While the Honda Accord hybrid stole the buzz of the Consumer Report's Top 10 List because of its family car designation, it wasn't the only hybrid car on the list.

The Toyota Prius hybrid won the The Best Green Car.

This was the first time that two hybrid cars were part of the Top 10 list. Based on "Consumer Reports' road tests, consumer-reported reliability and crash testing from both the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety," the Top 10 are "standouts" according to CR.

The Lexus RX330, the conventional cousin of the soon-to-be-released Lexus RX400h hybrid, took the Best Mid-Sized SUV spot.

Kind of interesting that Toyota and Honda, the hybrid car leaders, are also the Top 10 leaders.
