Bingo ....there are so many judges out there....but the owners of the vehicles are the opinions companies look at as a valuable tool to use while making improvements. The customers drive the bus when it comes to quality.

meh, IQS .... another marketing scheme to promote sales. If you asked about legitimacy of this separate survey I missed it, post #53 seems directed elsewhere, dunno. Perhaps you cannot see the forest from the trees. I am sure that there are some actual true usefulness somewhere related to these surveys to insiders like yourself, but these companies are no longer producing unbiased neutral reports like they used to for the general populous. The 3 year satisfaction survey is a complete joke and the little bit I know of the IQS is marginally better, just. Neither should be used as a sole decision by the public to purchase a vehicle, but JDP does offer a good starting point for potential owners to perform their own research on.
If auto manufactures produced quality builds in the first place, they wouldn't need to hire an outside firm or "IQS" to determine where the public found out about their dismal failure of QA. Meanwhile, saving $1 on airbag sensor goes unnoticed, killing thousands when they knew for a fact it was a bad decision.

That survey is so skewed its better off used as Toilet Paper. My 2010 Camaro SS2 I bought used because they discontinued the ABM color. I bought it with 16.5k miles. Its got around 30k mi +/- 500mi. Cars 7 yrs old STILL running on original battery. It's literally sat about 1 yr without ever starting it an just got in, turned the key and it cranked right up.
What do I like about the car? It's a simple car. Not all the bells and whistles to break. Its a manual so less likely to have probs there other than a clutch change. Sure, theres sensors out the wazoo? But Nothing compared to a lot out there. I prefer simplicity. Simplicity=reliability. The more things you add to the mix, the more chance things can break. I've ran her hard. Real Hard. Sometimes only time I got in the car was to redline her. So out of the 13.5k mi many were just ran hard and shes still running strong.

Consumers Union has been sued many times and has never lost a case that I've read/heard about. They won many famous ones, such as the Suzuki roll over case, Isuzu Trooper and Sharper Image air cleansers. IMO, CR magazine auto reliability ratings have always been pretty darn good. My experience in car ownership, and that of friends and family over several decades, has borne that out for me.

If you're sure, you must have sources to cite then on successful lawsuits against CR and verified cheating on their tests?

Ummm they are made on the same assembly line by the same people with the same parts. I worked at a GMC dealer and had a GMC come in with Chevy trim pieces on the side and a chevy horn button. They must have missed the switch on the assembly line
