That's why my family only buy toyota vehicles!!

Our family's cars:
1)Toyota T100 (dad's)
2)Toyota Sequoia (mom's)
3)Toyota pick up truck (dad's)
4) Toyota MR2 n/a (little bro's)
5)Toyota 4-Runner(big bro's)
6)Lexus SC400 (mines)

My big brother also has a civic hatchback and that's the only non-toyota vehicle that's in our family of cars!! My parents hate that car because it's not a toyota!!

Toyota Tundra and the Ford F-150 classifieds as minivans?

Those Mercedes and BMW results don't lie. I always see me neighbors driving loaner cars.

BMW "The Ultimate Driving Machine" Yeeeaaah Right !!!

They're obviously neither the most or least reliable.

The German cars really dominated the worst lists. How about the Merc. CLK in second behind HYUNDIA on crap list

That would tick me off if I was a Benz owner. I guess you don't always get what you pay for.

Unless we are looking at different reports I distinctly remember seeing Porsche at the top of list as far as long term reliability (I think it was 3 years) is concerned followed by Lexus in the # 2 spot. Or perhaps it was the other way around - Lexus was 1st and Porsche was 2nd. I don't remember exactly now.

I think probably Lexus was 1st and Porsche was 2nd ( ON AVERAGE ) but Porsche does not have a model in the top 3 among sporty cars/convertibles, that should explain this.

What's so unreliable about the Ford Excursion? Forgive me, but blue's in the blood.
