Default Most Dependable Cars? WTF?

Here's a list from cars.com... Just thought it was interesting that many spots were filled by GM vehicles, whose cars are so bad they're going bankrupt... N E Way...

Just beacuas ethey dont sell cars, doesn't mean that they are unreliable. could be because of design, limited models, financing, gaz consuption ect...

My last car was a Grand Am and I babied the sh*t out of it and it's an N-body (Just like the Malibu, smartass) and it was horrible and Buicks are so "reliable" cause, think about it... THEY'RE MARKETED TO OLD PEOPLE THAT HARDLY DRIVE THEM, and the ones that do, DRIVE THEM 35 MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE... When something does break, they fix it the next day... ANY car can roll the odometer if you do that. But thanks for the reply

Bankrupt means that your assets < your liabilities... Oh sh*t - webters online dictionary - "Someone who has insufficient assets to cover their debts." I hit the nail on the head that time... If they sold enough cars to cover thier debts, they wouldn't be losing money... Their cars are "on sale" every day and they still can't move them. it's a bad thing when people finally figure out that you're screwing them isn't it?
