#1 is Honda.
Toyota used to be essentially equal, but their quality has been slipping in recent years. I've seen consumer reviews of people with 2002 thru 2005 Camry's, and many were not very happy with the cars and would not buy again. Check it out yourself at carsurvey.org.
Really though, reliability is a function of time. Any make of car is far more reliable and far better quality today than a generation ago. That's why they all come with 3 - 5 year bumper to bumper warranties, whereas 20 years ago, 1 year was standard.

Basically the reliability reputation Lexus and Toyota cars still holds true.
Industry benchmarking standard JDPower says:
"Lexus, Toyota and Honda models dominate the segment rankings. Lexus models lead in four segments: GS 300/GS 430 (midsize premium car), LS 430 (large premium car), SC 430 (premium sporty car) and GX 470 (midsize premium MAV). Four Toyota models also lead in their respective segments: Echo (sub-compact car), RAV4 (compact MAV), Highlander (midsize MAV) and Tundra (large pickup). Honda models rank highest in three segments: Civic (compact car), S2000 (compact premium sporty car) and Odyssey (van). Models by Acura, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Ford, Mazda, Mercury and GMC each rank highest in one segment."
Conclusion:
Lexus: 5 cars that are the most reliable cars in their classes, #1 spot overall for the 12th year in a row
Toyota : 4 cars that are the most reliable in it's class
Honda: 3
Others: 1

Well, Toyota and Nissan probably make the most reliable ones. I think the Toyota Camry was on the top of the list.
