Electric car Tesla named Consumer Reports’ top auto pick

Lexus scored highest, followed, by Acura and Audi. Audi managed to move up from its last-year position of eighth place to third place, indicating the brand, owned by Volkswagen, has overcome some of its reliability problems of the past. Consumer Reports arrives at its conclusions through a combination of its own road tests, conducted at the magazines test facility in Connecticut, and surveys that ask subscribers to talk about the reliability of their vehicles. In all, the magazine says it has reliability information on 1.1 million subscriber-owned vehicles. Whats interesting about this new report is that the top three brands are all luxury cars, and luxury cars, as Consumer Reports points out, can have a lot more problems than ordinary cars, largely because they have many complicated electronic systems that can go wrong.

Consumer Reports’ annual auto issue is out — luxury cars get the highest marks.

The top picks were chosen from more than 260 vehicles tested by Consumer Reports for reliability, safety and road-test performance. The battery-powered Tesla Model S was chosen best overall for its “exceptional performance and its many impressive technological innovations,” Consumer Reports said, noting it was “pricey” at $89,650. California-based Tesla Motors Inc , which was founded by billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk in 2003, said it expects to deliver about 35,000 of the model this year. By comparison, the best-selling car in the United States last year, the Toyota Camry, sold about 408,000 in 2013. Consumer Reports hasn’t named a best overall since a Lexus model took the top honors in 2010.

Luxury cars used to smuggle cigarettes

Thirty-eight foreign nationals were arrested during the month-long operation, Hawks provincial head Major General Dibero Molatjana said. Due to the security at the Beit Bridge port of entry, syndicates were now creating false compartments in luxury vehicles, instead of heavy-duty trucks, to avoid detection. “Our aim is to kill the criminal mind so that these syndicates do not design new ways to avoid detection,” Molatjana said. The illegal trade had cost the South African government over R5bn in taxes in 2012.

The Warwickshire-based luxury car maker said the recall accounted for most of its sports cars built since late 2007.

There are fears the pedal arm may break although there have been no reports of any accidents, the firm said. A spokesman said it would now bring manufacture of the pedal arm back to the UK.
