Here's my GM spin on this one:
- Every single GM brand is above industry average
- All GM brands are within the top 7, except for Cadillac
Now we need a study to translate studies like these, and other standardized ratings like EPA fuel economy, into real world results. This JD Power study will always be flawed, for example, when a Bluetooth pairing problem is counted the same as a transmission problem. And a transmission problem that was a software update will be counted the same as a mechanical flaw.Lexus ranks highest in vehicle dependability among all nameplates for a fifth consecutive year, with a score of 95 problems per 100 vehicles (PP100).
Porsche (97 PP100) follows Lexus in the rankings, moving up from fifth in 2015.
Following Porsche in the rankings are Buick (106 PP100), Toyota (113 PP100) and GMC (120 PP100).
