DETROIT - Ford has made the most progress in improving vehicle quality among major automakers, while Chrysler ranks at the bottom of the industry for reliability, according to an annual Consumer Reports survey released on Tuesday. Asian automakers dominated the magazine's influential list of recommended vehicles, with Toyota's Scion ranked the top brand followed by Honda's flagship brand. Toyota's flagship brand placed third. Ford ranks as the only U.S. automaker that is competing with Asian brands with "world-class reliability," Consumer Reports said. About 90 percent of Ford's vehicles achieved average or better reliability, the study showed. Ford's Mercury brand ranked tenth for reliability -- the only U.S. brand to make the top 10 list. The Ford brand ranked 16th and Ford's luxury Lincoln brand ranked 20th.
