GM really needs to have a makeover. Crappy cars. Horrible reliability. Too many rebadging.

Did you read the methodology used to come up with these charts? I am not here to defend the domestics but I do not trust those numbers. Also note that this says nothing about current products, it is just a weird estimation of the reliability of 6 - 8 year old vehicles.

People like you really need to get a clue.

Guess who came in at the top of the pack for extended reliability with the last JD powers survey? Hint, it was not Honda.

Yea, I guess that's a good explanation why GM's doing so great.

Look at the "least reliable" column. You make a conclusion.

Those website are worthless. All they are doing is repackaging CR data (which its self is statistically very suspect). The second like is especially bad because it overlooks the number of cars GM makes. In
