USA Today | 'Consumer Reports' puts Chrysler, GM in bottom spots

Chrysler and General Motors (GM) took the bottom two spots, respectively, in Consumer Reports magazine's new automaker for reliability, even as the pair seek billions more in federal loans to stay afloat.

The third of Detroit's Big 3 automakers, Ford Motor, fared better at fourth from the bottom, also beating Suzuki.

First place went to Honda (HMC) for the third-consecutive year, followed by Subaru, Toyota (TM) and Mazda. Next came a tie by Mercedes-Benz, Nissan, Volkswagen and BMW, among the 15 makers rated. They were followed by Hyundai, Volvo and Mitsubishi.

You know, I got chewed out by quite a few people at dKos for pointing out that the Big Three made shitty cars.  They told me to go read Consumer Reports.

Oops.

Some solidly middle class, Democratic people I know are thinking of purchasing a new car since the deals now are SOOO good; would not THINK of buying crappy American quality.  Period!

In the end, might makes right. Nothing has changed since the caveman.

I'd think about buying American, but they just don't deliver the goods.  Give me an electric Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that's reliable and decently priced, and I'll buy it.  Or an Aveo that's safe and isn't hideous.

But they won't do that, because Detroit is full of morons.  American cars are shit.
