HJ,
The thread a few weeks ago was about a yet another survey.

Quite a lot of discrepancies between the 2 surveys in your post.

For instance the Consumer Report lists the Jaguar S-Type and Jaguar X-Type at the top of the LEAST reliable listings for mid-range cars; this list also includes the Merc S, E, & C Classes and BMW 5 & 7 Series. (Although how Mercedes S Class & BMW 7 Series are listed as 'mid range' cars beats me.) In the JD Power survey Jaguar are 2nd MOST reliable, BMW 4th and Merc 10th - all with reliability above average.

The one unmistakeable trend in every kind of value, reliability & sales survey in the USA is that Japanese and Korean cars are winning and European cars are losing.
