The one that shows (https://media1.tenor.com/images/1fe1...itemid=3412174) isn't the one that doesn't (https://tenor.com/view/penguin-slap-...ny-gif-3412174) and neither is a plain image link. The server could still wrap it up or something: click the link(s).

And there is a testing lounge: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=8.

2) I used to work for a Class 8 truck OEM. We always scored low compared with our competitors on "Engine quality" despite using the same engines as our competitors.

3) You are more inclined to take the time to fill in a long, detailed, survey if you are seriously mad at your vehicle manufacturer.

4) Ever notice how your car just seems to run better, to feel better, to be more enjoyable after you detail it? Your emotions towards your car change but the reliability has not. People are emotional creatures and cant be trusted to accurately respond to a survey like this.

JD Powers is a fantastic measure of how owners "feel" about their vehicles and nothing more.

OK, rant over. Now back to the funny pics. Here's my dog with her head stuck in a fence.

This rating needs to be juxtaposed against the following 3 questions:

Which of these wouldn't you consider owning?

Which of these wouldn't you rent?

Which of these would be caught dead in even if it was the only ride out of the Zombie Apocalypse?

This needs to be done and weighted, statistically, against the ratings to come up with a true picture of the situation. The Toyota owner will put up with a lot of crap that the BMW, especially high-end BMW owner won't put up with. Hell, I will barely drive non-///M cars as it is.
