Auto Industry Site Lists ‘Top-10 American Cars’
In part to mark the coming July 4th holiday, automotive research and information site Total Car Scoreranked its top-10 American cars. The lineup of winners represents a wide range of vehicles from luxury sedans and SUVs to crossovers and large wagons. All vehicles are from the 2012 model year.

The  site said its “total car score” is a number rating meant to represent an “overall industry assessment from major automotive authorities” that includes reviewers and other experts. Total Car Score said the list also reflects renewed strength of domestic car makers.

“The Detroit Big 3 have quickly rebounded to produce some of the highest rated cars on the market, and America clearly hasn’t lost its grip on the large SUV or high-performance sedan segments. All three manufacturers made the Top 10 list with at least one ‘tuner’ version of their mainstream sedans, confirming Detroit muscle is alive and well,” said Karl Brauer, editor in chief and CEO of Total Car Score.

Here are the winners and their ratings:

  1. Cadillac CTS: 86.49
  2. Buick LaCrosse: 85.01
  3. Chevrolet Traverse: 84.87
  4. Ford Flex: 84.44
  5. GMC Acadia: 84.18
  6. Cadillac CTS-V: 83.65
  7. Chrysler 300: 83.29
  8. Ford Taurus SHO: 83.22
