Thanks to its countless hours of research and testing, Consumer Reports (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/06/21/chrysler-finally-gets-a-compliment-from-consumer-reports/) is able to provide detailed and accurate assessments of pretty much every new car out there. Some of the data they compile results in the all-important reliability and safety ratings.

On the other hand, some of the stuff they come up with is a little more trivial. Like how many American-made individual models each automaker produces. Not important, but kind of a fun fact to flex your car knowledge muscles with. The list was compiled by counting each automaker's list of individual models. In other words, the Honda Civic (http://autoblog.com/model/civic) counts toward Honda's total, but the Civic Si does not.

For 2011, Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) and Chevrolet (http://www.autoblog.com/make/chevrolet/) top the list with 12 each, followed by Toyota (http://www.autoblog.com/make/toyota/) at nine and Honda (http://www.autoblog.com/make/honda/)and GMC (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gmc/) at eight. General Motors (http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/) topped the corporate ladder with 21, followed by FoMoCo with 14 and Chrysler (http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler/) with 12.Consumer Reports investigates who builds most models in U.S. (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/07/05/consumer-reports-investigates-who-builds-most-models-in-u/) originally appeared on Autoblog (http://www.autoblog.com) on Tue, 05 Jul 2011 07:58:00 EST.
