LoginChevy has been consistently dropping in reliability ratings for several years now. Props to Ford though, it looks like they are finally moving back up in the rankings. That said, look at the bottom ranked cars... American, American, American, America, Swedish (what are you doing, Volvo...), American, American... you get the idea.

LOVE Italian cars; if I was the type of person who had money to blow, I would love to own an Alfa Romeo and a Ferrari. But my love for these cars does not make me believe they are reliable or "good" cars. Italian cars are notorious for being poorly made in terms of reliability, and I have to accept that.
That stereotype of Italian cars is unfortunately true for American cars nowadays as well... they may have all the bells and whistles, but they are riddled with poor design choices and low reliability. It sucks, but I am not going to tell someone they are wrong for implying that Italian cars are not quality cars, no more than anyone should get mad at saying American cars are not quality cars. A bad experience may just be a bad experience... but a bad experience can also be accurate of a systemic problem, and in this case it is. Americans have forgotten how to make good cars, or rather the CEO's of these companies don't care about making good cars but rather profitable cars.
