Now what doesn't make sense is the Mini being a top 3 reliable car in the compact sporty car when Mini is next to dead last in brand reliability

ES was probably a compact when it first came out 25 years ago. JD Power just never bothered to change its class. Or, they had to slot in the GS somewhere (competitor of MB E-Class) so put the GS in the Midsize Premium class and left the ES in the Compact Premium class (with the Lincoln MKZ(?) and Lexus CT).
If JD Power only has 3 cars in the Compact Sporty class, the MINI will of course be in the "Top 3".

Mercedes and Cadillac have both made enormous strides lately. In the 1990s' and early 2000s, for example, both were near the bottom. Subaru, though, seems to be slipping. They were once near the top, and now are slightly below average. Buick seems to get better every year....second-place now on Lexus' tail for 2015, though it is still a 21-point spread.

The JDP catagories are crazy. Compacts that aren't compacts, midsizes, etc.
So it looks like the Lexus number slipped quite a bit. IS bringing it down? I think that's the only newer model someone (consumer reports) cried about, but that had more to do with drivability. What brought down Lexus's number from last year?
