Can You Name The Five Brands That Suck So Bad Their Owners Can't Wait To Get Rid Of Them?

In today's auto market, competition is stiff. Every car seems built to last, which makes it difficult for automakers to tout reliability as their sole selling point. Consumers can shop nearly any brand, confident that they'll drive home in something that will hold up for years. That's led to the demise of brand loyalty -- especially among younger buyers.

But brand loyalty hasn't completely died out. Experian Automotive showed us that some brands do pretty well on that front, while USA Today compiled data from Kelley Blue Book to reveal that some automakers are doing...less well.

I don't know about Hyundai. There sales have really improved over the past decade, along with quality.

If I had to guess, it would be Chrysler and Dodge. The quality just isn't there.

The linked "Are you a smart car buyer?" quiz in the cited article is neat and had a few surprises for me.

Dodge/Chrysler/Mitsubishi - it appears they can't escape the above-ground-gene-pool they created during their first marriage. I have not met an owner of any dodge product who doesn't hate it. It's a case of fool me once fool me twice.
VW should be on that list however there's some extra loyalty/mind blindness thing that keeps em coming back for more suffering.
