"Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are listed among the least-reliable manufacturers this year...."

Am I the only one who thinks that auto reviews & opinions from publications such as Forbes, Consumer Reports, NYT, etc... are a joke? If we were all practical, I guess we'd all have Hondas and Toyotas for the sake of reliability. But Accords and Camrys are so beige and boring, and frankly so are the people who buy them. They clearly have no interest in owning a car that actually drives well -- simply use their econoboxes to get from A to B and have no fun along the way. Do you know any interesting people who drive a Sienna? Not a chance. I'll stick with my "unreliable" BMW, thanks very much.

that article is is written by an imbecile.
none of those cars on that list would even last 100K of me behind the wheel.
The only reason Yodas/Lexus and Hondas are "so reliable" and fuel efficient is because thy're driven by the slowest people on the planet.
