واخيرا..وبعد طول انتظار...
انتصرت الالتيما على اشرس منافسيها (الهوندا اكورد) وسحبت البساط من تحتها..في consumer reports ...
والكثير من الناس المقبلين على شراء سيارات يعتمدوا على هذي النتائج لدعم اختياراتهم.
بعد ان تصدرت الهوندا التصنيف كافضل سيارة في فئة "صالون العائلي"..منذ سنة 1998..ونيسان تركز على جودة نيسان التيما...
والجدير بالذكر حسب كلام الموقع..انه الالتيما كانت منذ فترة الاولى في التصنيف...من ناحية الجودة والهدوء والقوة والاهم توفير البترول...ولكن ما خذلها من الوصول الى النهاية هو متطلبات التصنيف والاختبار...لانه من ضمن الشروط ان يتوفر في السيارة نظام الثبات الالكتروني..ومن موديل 2010 اصبحت نيسان توفر هذي الميزة كمواصفة اساسية...وبالتالي حصلت على اعلى تصنيف في هذه الفئة...
طبعا هذا اكبر دليل انه نيسان اصبحت من اكثر الشركات تركيزا على الجودة...ومن ناحية القوة فهي منذ زمن تقارع الكبار...
طبعا هذا ليس اول لقب وفوز لها...
ولكن في مجلات كثيرة حصلت على اعلى التصنيفات ...
Consumer's Digest, JD Power, Consumer Reports

الغريب انه هذه المرة لم تحصل اي من هوندا او تيوتا على نصيب الاسد مقارنة بالسنوات السابقة...
ولا ننسى ايضا تصدر الانفنتي جي 37 التصنيف في فئة السيدان الرياضي للسنة الرابعة على التوالي...

Consumer Reports Names Six New Top Pick Cars for 2010
Mazda5, Cheverolet Traverse and Volkswagen GTI among the new additions
YONKERS, N.Y., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumer Reports names six new models to its annual Top Picks car list for 2010. Comprised of nine different car brands, this year's list is the most diverse group of Top Picks in over a decade.
Findings from Consumer Reports' Annual Auto Issue, including the new Top Picks, were announced today at a Washington Automotive Press Association (WAPA) press conference in Washington, D.C.
The Mazda5, Nissan Altima, Subaru Forester, Volkswagen GTI, and Chevrolet Traverse and Silverado join the Hyundai Elantra SE, Infiniti G37, Toyota Prius and Lexus LS460L as Consumer Reports' selections for best models of the year based on performance, reliability, and safety.
"The diversity of this year's Top Picks reflect how competitive the industry has become," said Rik Paul, Consumer Reports' automotive editor. "Today's car buyers have more choices than ever when looking for good all-around cars."
Consumer Reports' Top Picks are the best all-around models in their categories and must meet stringent road test, reliability, and safety requirements. Each Top Pick scores at or near the top of its category among the more than 280 vehicles Consumer Reports recently evaluated at its Auto Test Center; has average or better predicted reliability (based on the problems subscribers reported on more than 1.4 million vehicles in Consumer Reports' Annual Auto Survey), and performed adequately in overall safety if tested by the government or insurance industry. In addition, each model must offer electronic stability control (ESC), a proven lifesaving safety feature as standard equipment or as a readily available option. All of this year's Top Picks provide standard ESC and curtain air bags.
In recent years, Toyota and Honda models have had their share of spots among Consumer Reports Top Picks list. But the automotive landscape continues to grow more competitive. This year, the Nissan Altima managed to dethrone the Honda Accord as the Top Pick for Family Sedan--making it the first time since 1998 that a Honda model was not selected.
The Toyota Prius retains its position as the Top Pick for Green for the seventh consecutive year, while the Lexus LS460L returns as Consumer Reports pick for Best Overall vehicle. At the time of publication, sales of the Toyota Highlander and RAV4 had been halted and currently Consumer Reports has suspended its recommendation for both vehicles removing them from contention in the Small and Family SUV category.
"The competition is quite fierce, and often the difference between a Top Pick and a runner-up can be slim. We believe all of our Top Picks this year to be exceptional vehicles that excel in a number of areas," Paul added.
Consumer Reports' testing procedures are the most comprehensive of any U.S. publication or Web site. More than 50 individual tests are performed on every vehicle, including evaluations of braking, handling, comfort, convenience, safety, and fuel economy. Roughly 6,000 miles of general driving and evaluations are racked up on each test car during the testing process. CR buys all its test cars anonymously from dealers. Other reviewers base their evaluations on press cars that are hand-picked by the automakers.
Here, by category, are the 2010 Top Picks.
وهذا عن الالتيما والانفنتي بالتتابع...
FAMILY SEDAN: Nissan Altima
The Altima ($23,970 to $30,335) has been a Consumer Reports top-rated family sedan for a couple of years, but lacked easily available ESC. A 2010 freshening made it better and improved gas mileage and for the first time provides standard ESC in all trim lines. It offers an appealing balance of comfort and performance, while getting some of the best fuel economy in its class: 26 mpg overall in four-cylinder models and 24 mpg with a V6. The cabin is roomy, well finished, and quiet. And the secure handling, comfortable ride, and spirited acceleration make the car enjoyable to drive.
SPORT SEDAN: Infiniti G37
The G sedan ($37,225) tops this category for the fourth straight year. It is one of the highest-rated sedans tested, with a score of 95 out of 100. It provides agile handling, blistering acceleration, a refined powertrain, a fairly comfortable ride, and a high-quality, luxurious interior. The G37 is as inviting to drive on a twisty road as it is on the highway. But compromises include a snug cabin and small trunk. Rear-wheel drive is standard; all-wheel drive is optional. Coupe and convertible versions are also available.
