This is good news for GM, and they need it. These are for the 2006 modle year vehicles too. In 2006 Ford still owned Jaguar, so this is kinda of a win for both companies, but GM will be able to use it. Congrats to both.

Heard an interview with a Washington Post(?) reporter(?) who basically told the NPR radio host that Consumer Reports data are different because it's a different demographic. He suggested they are predisposed not to buy American brands. To skew the data, they would have to be filling out surveys on cars they don't own. I could, therefore, trash the Chevy Trailblazer and bring down its rating without ever getting behind the wheel of one.

just like how they trash the smart car yet its abouve average in almost every aspect, it just comes down to personal prefereance ....their own!


even so sice just latley toyota's been falling off their game they have since slipped five places in quality and reliability ratings in its race to catch GM. oh well you can only be at the top for so long as GM found out! hopfully GM gets their again and truley get people to once again have pride in ownership in their american car!

I was wondering why VW scored so low (2nd from the bottom)? OUCH!
