How much do you trust the ATS'S predicated reliability?
 

What is your opinion on the ATS's future reliability?

still not at the level of the Lexus but, as much as I dislike domestic cars, they have been getting much much better. GM is serious......finally.

I agreed with I8ABMR, not at Lexus' level. But maybe better than the Germans?

I don't even give it that. Buick has been above average over the past decade, but Caddy has been unable to duplicate that. Consumer Reports (yes--I said it) still rates most Caddy products average or below avg.

In this study it is higher than BMW, Audi & VW.

Uhhh things have changed. Acura and Infiniti have some average years and Benz and audi have had some great ones. It's no longer just assumed Japanese is good and German/American is bad, especially since production is all over the world.

I would have no issues giving the ATS a shot and would not be worried about reliability.

I look at it like good students. GM is an F student who has aced a few mid term exams. This still doesnt make them an A student. Just an F student who did well on a few exams.

You want to be an A student..........Ace them all......like Lexus

Well said I8ABMR ;)

It's been reported that some of Caddy's issues are related to the CUE system.

The problem with the ATS is the cacophonous 3.6L

Nice :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

GM is hardly an F student, though. Look at the bottom of that list. No GM brands. I wouldn't buy or not buy any GM product today because of reliability concerns. I would actually be concerned about reliability were it a VW product, or a Chrysler group product. If I'm buying a Jag or Land Rover it's purely for snob appeal and reliability wouldn't be a concern. ;)

I would trust most GM products (aka, Cadillac and Buick) on major mechanical reliability over Audi and BMW any day.

The reason Cadillac has gotten a bad wrap is the FWD Northstar V8 cars that were their bread and butter back in the 90's and early 00's. Cars with that motor were a serious POS with multiple common problems(Deville, Seville, Eldorado, same issues) besides them blowing headgaskets.

IMO they've come A LONG way in the past 10 years, both in the design/engineering of their cars, and in terms of reliability/ownership costs.

The poll groupings make no sense at all.. Geez.....
