May 28, 200520 yr Author Admin strange how that now since Jaguar has the deep pockets from Ford their quality goes up, and I did some research and foudn out that the Cayenne is the cause for porsche being so low
May 29, 200520 yr Yeah, the Cayenne and Touraeg have had tons of problems ...IIRC, Consumer Reports said the Boxster had the least problems of any roadster ...Anyways, I'd be more concerned with serious problems as, odds are, the majority of these problems are minor ... Although one could argue that it does reflect on quality control ...
May 29, 200520 yr x2^^and it's nice to see gm( any u.s. product actually) has two out the top five and three outa the top ten....though i wouldn't have guessed buick better then caddy...oh yeah..suck on that ford boys..u've got one up there..hehe...(but i'll give it a nod for the second place finish..)wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 29, 200520 yr im surprised to see Buick up there.. good for the ole boys LoL<{POST_SNAPBACK}>There are TWO Buick's in our driveway. Too bad they both suck.
May 29, 200520 yr I thought last year this report showed HUMMER at the bottom... That is kind of strange.
May 29, 200520 yr Cadillac uses a lot of new technologies, which usually don't have all the bugs worked out ... Thus a higher rate of problems ...

May 29, 200520 yr "per 100 vehicles."Too subjective with the sheer volume of vehicles manufacturers produce today. Also, talk to anyone who works at a dealership and they will tell you most of things people have fixed are stupid nitpick items. I don't know. I personally feel if you take care of a car well, it will be a good car. Now some are lemons, and some just bad designs, but overall it all comers down to the end-user IMO.

May 30, 200520 yr I thought last year this report showed HUMMER at the bottom... That is kind of strange.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Maby it was on the H1's this time...lol
May 30, 200520 yr the H1 alpha's are coming!! (actuall all hummer's will get an alpha model, meaning better performance, tires, yada,yada,yada)..the H1 alpha means u get the duramax and allison combo...300hp and 520lb-ft of torque and a 2" body lift to accomadte them.performance? how about the ability to a climb a 22" vertical wall? cross a 60% grade, traverse a 40% side slope with 2500pds of payload and ford 30" of water? or towing over 9300 pds?yeah, it's a mans truck..hehe..all for only $141k...oh yeah, 0-6 in 13 seconds.....but it weighs 8114 pds...not too shabby...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 30, 200520 yr all for only $141k...wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee And if you only knew how cheap the things are being built. Ever had to service a Hummer? They take parts from all the Big3 and jumble them altogether. Kinda funny how it all works. I can tell you though, once you take into consideration the torque multiplication throughout all the gearing, a snap of the throttle will throw you back in the seat pretty hard. They are beasts and that damn diesel will pull ANYTHING.
May 31, 200520 yr Real mans hummer ( the real deal)= H1Soccer mom hummer= H2Stupid person hummer= H3x2
