Interesting how Infiniti's least reliable model is the Q50. Its most reliable is the Q60, which is mechanically similar to the Q50. Hmm...

It's not a typo. The most reliable, per the article, is the Q60.

You stated that both the Q50 and Q60 are the most reliable.

fixed your post

and to answer your question, it might have to do with the fact infiniti has sold nearly 200K q50 (including a hybrid version) versus like three q60's

Hilarious the ugliest vehicles IMO on the road are tied for last place in reliability and have no engine or transmission.

The list is result of generalization somewhat. In any company's line up there is particular model year reliability is excellent One of them is Benz 2014, 2015 ML series which
were available only for two years. I picked up a CPO 2015 fully loaded ML550. Odo reads ~38,000 miles so far. Nothing happened other than scheduled service. If I went for GLEor GLS I'd picked up extended warranty for peace of mind. Regardless I just get what I want. Reliability ranking is not priority one factor in my car buying decision. Also when. I had Porsche Cayenne S, I did not have any trouble other thasn scheduled services which were costly. Worst was when I had Audi SQ5 many small nagging issues occurring almost non-stop even tho power train did not give any problem. Stuffs like wind shield washer pump not working, fluid tank level sensor, etc. All under electronic control.
