I give credit where credit is due, such as this.... The newest Chrysler and Dodge products that have come out in the last couple years are the best they have ever built. Be it as it may, Chrysler does have a very bad reputation for reliability. And earlier GM models were not much better. But they were better overall, at least that's what the statistics show.
I feel that post counts do earn you a certain reputation, you can have just a few that bash all the time and you could get a negative label. I don't label people that way but I will call them out if they have been one sided in most or all their posts. Now that being said I know you won't go through all 10,000+ of my posts, but on numerous occasions I have praised and even defended other manufacturers cars when I felt they were being treated unfairly. Just as I will with my own brand preference...

Problem with those statistics are that are vastly skewed. Totota gets an autopass, cars get knocked off on RELIAILITY because people cant learn to use the features (FYI, this is not a reliability issue, just like the battery being under the washer fluid resivoir on my Lumina, that is a huge annoyance, but not a reliability issue, though places like CR or JD Powers may see it as such). We can see it differently, but the cold fact is and always has been GM and Mopar are pretty similar in reliability, we can say is better, but for each bad experience I you have with one or another, someone else has the opposite experience.
That said, as far as preference we are all going to purchase and recommend based on our experiences and yes based on family and friends experiences.
