Thanks for the link Acumo!
That Newcelica.org thread is like 1/2 year old. But if you get to page 2, you'll see that someone recognized that same car as one that burst in flames while streetracing in South Philly...

The owner finds that thread, and that's where the fun starts.

"Quality" and "Reliability" are two different things. I believe when it comes to reliability, Lexus, Toyota and Honda are the top 3. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Perennial winner Lexus took the top spot again this year in the J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability study, but U.S. brands Mercury, Buick and Cadillac filled out the top four.
The J.D. Power Vehicle Dependability Study, which was released today, scores cars based on the number of problems owners have with vehicles that are three years old. Its rankings are based on survey responses from about 48,000 owners of 2003 model-year vehicles. Cars are scored based on the number of problems per 100 vehicles.
Lexus is the luxury brand of Japan's Toyota Motor Co. That company's mainstream Toyota brand ranked fifth in the survey.
The top of the rankings in this year's dependability study are dominated by Japanese and American brands. Jaguar, which ranked eighth, and BMW, which ranked ninth, were the only European brands to score above average in the study.
