Going to make popcorn.

Buick always seems to be on the top of every list, JD Power, Consumer Reports...not saying I put a ton of credibility into any of these but it's an interesting trend.

Buick- the owners are too old to see what they are marking in the survey; they can't see the of lack of quality it in their automobile

Dodge- the owners never learned to read; how can they even fill out the survey

In all fairness, all the Dodge models are a decade old...I hope they worked all the bugs out by now!

INITIAL quality. Talk to them in 5 years

If it's not good initially, it probably won't get much better!

Does the car have to be driven as a requirement of the survey? Are many Buick owners SR Citizens that rarely take their car out of the garage,, unless they are in need of Kelly tires?

Buicks are all my grandpa would buy when he was alive. He would get a new one every year and always paid cash.

I think the old fogeys have gravitated towards Toyota and Subaru, at least around here. New Buicks are more younger and relatively well off SUV buyers.

Wow thanks for this, you saved my bacon!
I was just about to mortgage my house and buy me a Taycan; now all I need is one of them there Buicks!

I couldn't remember what was left with a Dodge badge... Charger, Challenger, & Durango.

Buick has been ranked near the top for decades by J.D.Power and CR. Porsche was as well for many years but they seemed to have slid South the last couple of years. Buick is a huge automotive status symbol in China. The average age of a Buick buyer in China is 35 years old. Crazy….I know……!

Polestar looks like the name implies, once you get a few drinks into you, you overlook a lot. Next morning? Not so pretty, lol.

The chasm between Chrysler and Dodge is hilarious though. Pacifica and what, the 300? vs Charger/Challenger/Durango? Durango's interior refresh doesn't seem to be hurting things at least, while they milk that WK2.

Chrysler barely sells any 300s, so that's going to be all Pacfica, while Dodge is going to be all WK2 and LX.

Yup, exactly.

Jeep on the other hand runs the gamut, you've got the WK2, the new Guilia platform GC and GC-L, the Wagoneer/Grand Wagoneer, then the Wrangler...etc. So a mix of mature and new.

Not a good measure of true reliability.
