JD Power puts Toyota, Honda, Acura, and Porsche below average for reliability and RAM as the best (LOL)

What a bunch of NONSENSE
and even Mazda and Infiniti ranked below average.
Now we know who had the biggest marketing budget for 2021..
The people who quote this stuff never seem to ask "Who is this 'J.D. Power' anyway, how do they make these determinations, and why should I believe anything they say?"
(Hint: It's a marketing company. They are paid by the companies they are "rating".)
Obviously, Dodge came up with the most money to pay off JD Power to get this rating.
Whatever JD power tell you, you should consider it backwards completely.
I'm not going to go on my typical JD Power rant, but I will say I upvoted every comment on this thread and I'm happy you guys are able to see through the "issues" with their rankings.
I will say this: I wouldn't believe them if they said the sky was blue.
OMG I'm rushing out to buy one now! :silly:
Hey wait a sec ... how come all the JD Power employees are driving brand new Challengers?
I'm pretty sure JD Power also said the Chevy Cruze was rated highest in intial quality a few years ago, which we know is also false. I remember their silly commercials being proud about the Cruze getting that title and it being available in a new hatchback. They discontinued the car not long afterwards. JD Power's pretty much pay-for-play.
I pretty much ignore what any of these publications say. I don’t even click on their links anymore.

Well here is more to laugh at...
I can't believe they put chevy above average and they are right about putting Chrysler last place because they are nothing to write home about, so i will give them that.
Actually I would say the Ram heavy duties w/ the 6.7 Cummins is arguably the best diesel truck made right now. The 1/2 tons not so much. But there really isn’t a good 1/2 ton made anymore.
