That is an odd way to gauge the results (all models over time)

Yes Audi is 23rd in overall repair cost (Ouch)
But actually Audi is 29th in frequency over all (Yuk)

But according to what they indicating it doesn't reflect the newer cars it reflects ALL models on the road.

No one else does this that I am aware of and it isn't much of an indicator of new vehicle reliability. It appears more of a factor of long term history.

So basically if you had problems in the past it will haunt you today.

Regardless of were AUDI is ranked in this BS survey, they are doing extremely well. Just imagine if they wouldn't have this quality problems. They would dominate the market.
