"Asian vehicles rank low in survey"

You forgot the part he was referencing:

Vehicles that Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. makes at its new plant in Mississippi -- the Quest minivan, Armada SUV, Titan truck and Infiniti QX56 SUV -- are among the 48 least-reliable cars and trucks sold

67% of Infiniti QX56 owners had to go back to the dealership because of problems.

Consumer Reports challenges the belief that Japanese cars are generally made better than domestic vehicles in its annual reliability survey released Wednesday.

Of course if by low you mean:
Of the 31 cars that earned a top reliability rating, 29 were Japanese and two were domestic models.

Talk about a fan boi.

article trashing reliability of japanese cars, while the chart displayed on the right of the article from consumer reports listing 'MOST RELIABLE 2006 MODELS' is almost completely japanese?
 
They might just be saying that they are declining, who knows.

In that list, how is "Pickup trucks" a vehicle model for Large SUVs though (in the top 2006 list on the right of the article).
 
And all of the least reliable vehicles they mentioned were Nissans built in the US. It's truly a sad day when only 29/31 reliable cars Japanese. That article makes NO sense.
 
"One time you would consider buying a Japanese car because you'd get excellent reliability, but now you're starting to see some nicks in the armor," says David Champion, senior director of Consumer Reports' auto test center.

maybe the nicks in the armor are the two cars that are not japanese haha
