Any GM brand above Honda?
Yea, there's fishy metrics there. I've worked on all these brands for decades, you can't give me a GM product.
I've repaired the same thing on a GM car multiple times in 100k miles, not so with the Japan Big 3.
Honda/Toyota/Mazda, in that order, then everyone else.
Porsche above Honda? Get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
A limitation here is that there's no indication of the severity of the problems reported. "USB port doesn't work" and "engine exploded" are each one problem.
You got a link for this?
JD Powers and associates can fuck right off, it's all bullshit.
So basically Toyota. Lexus is a Toyota brand. It's basically a more expensive Toyota (like what Acura is to Honda, or Lincoln to Ford, Cadillac to Chevrolet, and so on and so forth). But because they're more expensive with only a few luxury options over well-spec'd Toyotas (such as brand loyalty), fewer of them are purchased, many are leased etc. Of course they are still going to be as reliable as regular Toyotas, but wouldn't be given as much opportunity to break down. Whereas a Toyota someone will drive into the ground.
According to JD Power?
Also, this is based on 3 years of ownership, but I see no mention of how they controlled how much people abused the cars. Someone driving a car like a racecar and someone driving a car like a grandma are going to have very different scores for reliability. Unless this is only based on warranty claims that were verified to be caused by manufacturer defect and not by any outside factor.
