Must not be too long-term if the 6 is on there.

Surprised the Accord didn't make it on the list.

I'm not surprised to see very few American cars on the list, but seeing the Buick Regal as the only U.S. representative is kind of a shock.

Sorry for my dumb question, but you mean that the 6 hasn't been in the market long enough, or that they tend to be crappy?

Just curious!!

No (zip, zilch, nada) German cars whatsoever. That will be a surprise to some...

Glad to see my favourite luxury brand (Lexus) is well represented. Shame they don't make any vehicles I want at this time.

Not to me. I have an BMW X5 4.4i. The car "feels" great, but Germans are falling behind in their quality control methods. I have had four Mazdas so far and I don't recall having any mechanical or cosmetic problems with them.
