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.

It's not how they see it as a reliability issue its how the owners report it. To one person a knob that comes off the radio is not a reliability issue, but for the next owner they may consider it an issue. I know some Toyota owners that overlook the some issues they have had with their car while saying another brand is junk for having the same issue. I have had Toyota rental cars with parts falling off before, and sounded like a tin can when closing the door, but they are the most reliable.
To tell the truth I see more foreign cars abandoned on the side of the road and being hauled on rollbacks now than I do American brands...
Really if Dodge made a Challenger Convertible and there was no Camaro, I would choose it over a mustang any day... Has nothing to do with reliability, I just like the Challenger better.
