talks about CR reliability ratings

http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/cars/pr...rview/index.htm

direct link to the ratings

lexus moved from #1 to #5, which is 'bad' (because its a decrease).. but keep in mind ford is #16 which is 'worse'  (because 16th is lower than 5th)..

i'd still rather get a japanese car assembled in japan to keep for long term.. sorry

some other things to keep in mind

Quote:# Overall, Asian models still dominate in reliability, accounting for 34 of the 39 models in the Most reliable new car list. Thirty-one are Japanese and three are South Korean.

# Despite Toyota's problems, the automaker still ranks third overall in reliability, behind only Honda and Subaru, with 17 models in the best list. Honda has seven with a smaller model lineup

#Only four domestic models made the Most reliable list: the Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan, Pontiac Vibe, and the two-wheel-drive Ford F-150 with the V6 engine. U.S. makes, however, account for almost half the models--20 of 44--on the Least reliable list. There are 13 from GM, 6 from Chrysler, and 1 from Ford.

EDIT: mercury milan/ford fusionncoln mkz is really reliable hurray ford :rolleyes:

The thing is both Honda & Toyota have openly admited that, the cars & Suvs they have built in Canada are of better quality then those built in their home market of Japan, US & Europe. So getting a Canadian built model is the highest quality over the Japanese built one.
