if your car can't be deemed reliable after 90 days... that's probably not a good indication

Nice to see GM at the top.

They spend loads of money to make sure they get good press.

I know a guy who just bought a GMC Sierra and the dealership offered to fill up his truck for free if he gave the dealer the customer satisfaction survey so they could fill it out for him.

That speaks volumes right there...

I meant more in a sense of long-term reliability.. :confused:

Hopefully it DOES translate into long-term reliability. I'd love to have more cars to consider (something reliable is a requirement).

The sporty Lexus SC 430, which starts at around $65,000, was the highest-ranking model in the survey for the second year in a row, with a rating of 54 problems per 100 vehicles.
i wonder if 'ugliest car ever made' counts as a problem?
