How do you explain that Buicks show up as nuch more reliable than Pontiacs or
Oldsmobiles? These different brands are built by the same poeple in the same
factories using mostly the same parts, but they have different reliability
ratings.

In my opinion, the JD Powers surveys are more a measure of the success of the
advertising campaign than of the performance of the vehicles. For example if you
comapare a 4Runner, Explorer, and Mountaineer, the Explorer is rated lower than
the 4Runner in a couple of categories. However, the Mountaineer is rated nearly
the same as a 4Runner - how can that be? The Explorer and Moutaineer are for all
practical purposes the same vehicle. A Mountaineer is not any more reliable than
an Explorer, yet it was rated the same as the 4Runner and above the Explorer.
Clearly the JD Power ratings are nearly meaningless.
