BMW is ranked in 21 in J.D. Powers 2008 Initial Quality Survey. Both Ford and Chevy are in the top ten, far ahead of BMW and even Acura. The 2008 Chevy Malibu also ranked first in the midsize car category over both The accord and Camry in a survey done by J.D. Power and Associates.

You have a better chance of seeing a repair shop in a BMW or a Acura.

But then again, maybe he calls unintended acceleration a positive experience…

The cars are solid and last long without any or very little and minor issues This is why the resale is high and its not mass illusion but proven fact

I never once said the cars were godlike or perfect just a lot less likely to breakdown or have issues when compared to an American car

If people would have bought Ford GM and Chryslers based on build quality and not bc they were American then these companies wouldn’t be in the jams they are currently in

BTW the tailpipes blow diamonds not gold

BMW Overpriced and overrated.- Overpriced yes, Overated no

@02WRXPSM,
Car rags typically love domestic performance vehicles. C&D is a bad example too. They don’t care for domestic or Asian, they just love’s them some bimmers. In a recent comparison they picked an M3 over a GT-R simply because its a BMW, completely disregarding the Nissan’s superior performance and reliability (I’m assuming like Nissan’s other V6′s, the GT-Rs will be quite durable).

@Bubs Solo,
There’s a video on YouTube of a guy whose Sequoia with <50k on the odometer blew a ball joint on the highway and caused his SUV to roll.

@1c3d0g,
Toy can build a good truck, they just refuse to sell it here. The Hilux sold elsewhere is a smaller ranger-size pickup and its just as durable as the Ford. The rest of the world gets better small trucks than we do. Hell Thailand has a Chevy Colorado with a GMT900 SUV style facelift (and it looks awesome), but GM decides we don’t get it. Toy and GM both hold out on their better compact trucks fro this market.

@ Ford_Sucks,
Malibu offers class-leading fuel economy with the 6sp auto and the Ecotec I4. That’s what they should be discussing.

Recalls are no big deal, both my Subarus had at least three recalls apiece for minor issues. You just get it fixed at the dealership with your 30,000 mile service.

The thing that gets me the most is that Toyota isn’t taking the blame for it. It’s enough to avoid it, but denying it and then blaming it on the publicity that comes with such a claim is pretty ridiculous. If Toyota had investigated the problems themselves, or gave some form of relief, then they would have dealt with the problem much more quickly.

first off yes olds307 said it right, Assembly probably has nothing to do with this, it could be an electronic issue or mechanical issue, but it’s in the design.

Secondly I’ve been saying this ever since, even for years, ever since Toyota started to get big, they are on this rapid explosion of mass producing vehicles to become the largest automotive manufacturer, which they are now. However this happenned with GM, and it’s really looking like it’s going to happen to Toyota, things start to get overlooked by upper management while they are piled on with production goals and then durability testing with vehicles and parts gets shortened because the employees get pressured and rushed into getting vehicles on to the assembly line to be sold, my father has worked for GM for over 30 years, he’s worked in almost every aspect of the automotive business except for design, and engineeing. He saw it happen with GM in the 70′s, and 80′ all the way up until the present. I think Toyota does make some great quality vehicles, but their entire North American line-up has no excitement or soul. They’ve become bland basic people movers. And if they keep things up this way and don’t realize what they are doing it’s only going to get worse. Yeah they are going to make $$ and a lot of it but in the long run unless they keep quality and stay committed it’s going to happen to Toyota just like it happenned to GM.

And I hope I never hear you make that ridicules claim that Toyota’s have never caused injuries due to recalls or faulty engineering again.

Those Toyota engineers think of everything!

Mazda 6 sold in Europe and Made in Japan is more reliable than the same car made in Michigan.

Anyway, the worst recorded case of spontaneuous acceleration was recorded in Europe, where Renault Espace accelerated to about 100mph and got stucked there – car’s electronics stopped responding to everything, even switching ignition off didn’t work. I think the driver finally stopped using combination of a handbrake and metal barriers on the side of the highway.

When I drove Ford pickup, while working for construction company in college days, I could not have unintended acceleration, even if I wanted one: impossible with “three on the tree”.
