Once again I question CR's definition of "reliability."
Subheading: Buick and Mazda make strides; Subaru slips; FCA struggles
Oh FCA. You STILL suck.
Buick has #3 behind Toyota and Lexus. I do question how Buick as a GM division (and platform sharing being what it is) can score higher than other GM divisions. One theory is the way problems are reported (or not reported).
" There are a few surprises, as well. Subaru slipped from the top-10 brands over serious Legacy and Outback recalls and WRX reliability concerns. Notably, Buick moved into third place, a first for an American automaker.
It was a mixed bag for other GM offerings, with Chevrolet cars tending to fare better than Chevy or GMC trucks. It's even worse for Fiat-Chrysler. Out of a lineup spanning Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati and Ram, only the Chrysler 300 got the CR nod of approval. FCA nameplates tend to fill out the bottom of the brand reliability rankings, along with ... Tesla."
" Not a single Jaguar-Land Rover product made it, which highlights another caveat with the report: CR's list isn't necessarily predictive of sales."
