Jaguar, Buick dethrone Lexus in reliability study

I was hoping that we could do this all day…

I'm referring to people that don't try to flaunt their worth through the cars they drive, and Old money buy Cadillacs. Yuppies, the opposite of what I just described, don't. Maybe you didn't understand what I was saying

Caddy's and ... Crown Vics.

I remember reading one of those "get rich quick by buying this book" books that said quite a few people who have successfully saved a lot of money did so because they avoided flashy cars and too-expensive houses.

The one car that a lot of them seemed to own was the Ford Crown Victoria.

(note: I used to work in bookstores, browsed a LOT on my breaks, and do not make a habit of buying get rich quick books, they suck)

In testing, The Buicks were only driven in the fast lane at 25mph with the blinker on. They last forever in that mode.

Wait, I think I got it, the black people have to have money in order to buy a cadillac, so why seperate them from the first group (i.e. "people with money"), is that right?

....people with actual money and black people buy Cadillacs

maybe I misbolded the words the first time.....

because we all know black people are not people with actual money.

I'm glad we all had this talk.

I was trying to find the thread where somebody claimed that Jaguar's were good cars... Someone was offend at the suggestion that Jaguar's were terrible cars & had pathetic resale value…Also That JD Powers is just a bunch of pencil pushing desk folks in Westlake CA who know nothing about cars….Well Here it is...

Jaguar is considered one of the worst cars of the decade….

Jaguar X-Type
2002-2008

In the early 2000s, the class of entry-level luxury cars was growing. Most were sporty and started at $30,000 or less. Wanting in, Jaguar came out with the X-Type. From the get-go, critics warned that a cheap Jag would be bad for the brand and that Ford — which bought the company in 1989 — would probably cut corners and sacrifice quality. That was before they saw the product. Sharing its front-drive platform with a European Ford Mondeo, the X-Type was a too-small, not-so-sporty sedan with all-wheel drive that was hamstrung by some of the forewarned quality issues. The trap was clearly visible from miles away, and Ford walked right into it. A 2002 Jaguar X-Type can be had for up to $8,500. A 2002 Honda Civic goes for up to $9,275.

Jaguar? Jaguar? Seriously?

Jaguar winning a reliability survey would be like the Clippers winning nine consecutive championships.

Win.

I always said that if I won the lottery, I'd like to get two Jaguars so I'd always have one running.

Japanese cars >>>>>>>>>>>>>> American cars

Always will be. The Japanese just know how to make better cars. No need to get offended, Japanese cars are far superior to any aussie crap as well.

Compared to 20-30 years ago, almost all cars are amazingly reliable. That said, I look at Consumer Reports for reliability, which has worked out pretty well for me. Who funds J. D. Power?
