Three of the Top Five car manufacturer's this year (tracked by reliability and customer satisfaction) were, as usual, Toyota, Lexus (aka Toyota) and Honda.

Four of the Top Six most reliable individual car models this year (again tracked for problems and for customer satisfaction), were made by Toyota or Lexus (aka Toyota). and another top six model was a Honda.  That's 5 of the top six.  it's a pattern we see over and over again, year after year.

This has nothing to do with "made in the U.S.A., as many of these Toyota and Honda models are made in the U.S.   It's just that, with the noticeable exception of a tremendous recent turnaround in quality by Buick, most of the traditional U.S. brands just don't rate very well.

Of the 26 brands tracked for reliability and customer satisfaction, GMC is 16th, Chevrolet is 17th, Jeep is 19th, Cadillac is 21st, Ford is 22nd and Lincoln is 26th (in last place).

So why on earth you suggest it's advertising brainwashing is beyond me, and to most people that aren't surprised by any of these facts.    I suspect that you're just trolling again.  Or at least I hope you are...

i wasn't asking you for your suspicions on why Chuckarelei only wants a Toyota or Honda.
the question wasnt directed at you, and i dont know (or care) why you think my question is trolling.
perhaps you should analyze at your own posting habits.

Then, when the (rather obvious) FACTS are spelt out to you, you seem to be unhappy about it.    You continue your truly unique logic and posting patterns.  So yes, if you're not deliberately trolling and actually believe some of your posts, then well...

Sorry if you don't like it.

Sorry if you have a problem with facts.

Sorry you don't like anyone pointing out the rather obvious flaw in your post / with your logic.

Everyone has learned, the hard way, the danger of people that just spout complete B.S. with no regard to the facts.  In time, you'll also learn to adjust to the new "facts count" reality.  I realize the transition is going to be tough for some people, but you'll find life will get much easier once you accept it.

My daughter loves Hondas.  My daughter-in-law loves Toyotas, but now she also drives the Chevy Trail Blazer I gave her.  Much better in the winter with the 4 wheel drive on snow covered unplowed Chicago side streets.  After driving Cadillacs for 26 years, I switched to Mercedes.
