Didn't we already go over this?
Luxury brands are rated lower than their non-luxury siblings.
Cars the rule in their long term survey, do poorly in their short term survey.
Etc.

Look you cannot rank cars based on statistics.
You have to buy cars based on passion. Love.
The car is a symbol of power. Freedom. Superiority to other man.
That is why HUMMER is the only choice when you go shop for a vehicle. Only shop HUMMER. Like nothing else.

I can't believe VW is rated so high, even just initially.

Id like to know what type information is used, and what is considered a true defect or quality issue.
Ive read more than enough consumer reviews from various publications and found what people considered quality issues or defects actually aren't either as people listed things like road noise and lack of seat comfort defects or quality issues.
