It's wierd when you did post this your version came up first, and mine didn't at all. I thought it was because I submitted it later than you did - could it have been the other way around???

Consumer reports is full of problems themselves. Someone should do a "reliability survey" on them!

well, unlike certain other surveys that look at only the first 90 days of ownership, and consider 3 years "long-term," CR actually rates cars up to 8 yrs of age.

their MINIMUM period for reliability evaluations is 1 year. the prius has been out a BIT longer than that. wtf are you bitching about?

The Buick Lucerne is more realiable than the Lexus LS 400/430/460

Buick Lucerne is more reliable than the Lexus is because senior citizens spend more time in the hosipital than in their Buick, while the car is in the garage collecting spider webs.

gs400-

EL34i is a mockery of EL34. Not really his true opinions. He's just there for a laugh, I believe. He's never told us publicly.
