With this, I hope we can accept that the myth of Japanese car reliability has been dead for some time now. It's literally just Toyota and occasionally Mazda. Hondacura and Nissanfiniti have been subpar for years on this list and continue sinking to the bottom.
Meanwhile, BMW seems to have figured out their issues and have been gradually climbing up with the G cars and B engines. That's quite impressive.

I work with 2 guys that are close to 300k on their Titans.
The B58 engine seems to be bulletproof. BMW did a great job with it.

I see it in people that I know. My cousin for instance has two old Nissans, a Murano and a Rogue. They both have high mileage, the Murano is about 175,000 miles and the Rogue is about 100k miles, they just always have little things wrong with them, people I know with old Toyotas, including me, just don't have those kinds of problems.
My assistant has a CR-V and he has had all kinds of problems with it, my brother in law and sister in law drive Hondas, they have had two Odysseys and an Accord and a CR-V and they have all kinds of issues that you just don't see with Toyotas. They are about to buy a Grand Highlander for that reason.
I wouldn't be concerned to buy any of them if I wanted them, but if reliability was my primary driver I would get a Toyota.

I def agree with that. If you compare a 2014 Camry vs a 2014 Altima the Camry is probably doing way better.
Even though I've had a great experience with Nissan/Infiniti they no longer appeal to me at all.
