Forbes' list of least reliable luxury vehicles

<Sigh> Two of my favorite SUVs made this list: The Land Rover LR3 and the VW Touareg... Oh well, I was never meant to own either of those anyway...

In any event, Forbes magazine have just released their list of the "Least Reliable Luxury Cars 2006." Besides the VW and Land Rover, the others are: Range Rover, Lincoln Navigator and Saab 9-3. I kinda doubt this news will make Bill Ford sleep any better, as three of the five listed fall under the Ford corporate umbrella...

Snippet: The five models in the slide show are the only new luxury cars with both the lowest-possible scores for predicted reliability from Consumer Reports and below average "overall manufacturing quality" scores from J.D. Power. Included on the list are two Land Rover SUVs, a  Lincoln, a  Saab and that aforementioned Touareg.

The only one I did not expect to see on that list is the Saab 9-3. New engine, perhaps?
 
And where's Jaguar?
