Um... Sorry, I don't believe that at all. Those ratings (I believe) are bought and paid for. No way that GM has EVER had good reliability since the late 80s.

Look where Cadillac falls on this list. The Corvette won't show up as it's averaged in with all other Chevy's. Bowling Green is a totally different world than the rest of Chevrolet.

Interestingly enough, Chevy is below average. That I believe, but my friends Cadillac has been in the shop 36 times for completely unrelated problems in 3 years. That's 1 visit per month!

My sisters finances BRAND NEW CTS was in the shop for failed power steering and poor paint quality.

I don't care what J.D. says, experience speaks louder than words.

A friend of mine has had his RX8 in 12 times. That doesn't mean all RX8's are bad, it means the guys that built this particular one probably drank too much saki at lunch that day.

Also, the CTS isn't built at Bowling Green.

Everyone I know with a GM and I must be getting lemons then, huh? Just a thought. Look, I have some American pride left, so I'm not saying Bowling Green is or isn't producing garbage. I'm saying that GM's in general have been the worst cars I've ever owned.

Personally, I won't buy any chevy product that wasn't made there.

The C6 has as much in common with a lotus as any other chevy product.
