The study covers 177 specific problems divided into eight major categories. A lower numerical score indicates higher quality and Lexus earned the top score with 99 problems per hundred cars, with Porsche close behind at 100 problems per hundred, and Buick coming third with 116 (Toyota came in at 127). This marks the seventh straight year for Lexus as the most reliable brand, this in the midst of historically high marks for the industry overall.
Some auto pundits have tried to explain Buick's good recent showings as a shift from domestic to (mostly) foreign manufacturing plants, and the fact that Buicks are driven by older, more conservative, and non-aggressive drivers, putting less strain and wear on the actual vehicles themselves. There may (?) be some truth in that, but I think it goes much deeper than that.
