...but they are not engineered there, are they? poor engineering/design is sure to bring problems no matter who builds the car.

of course, from a research methods standpoint, the study is not the most sound in the world, but i think the sample is big enough to have some validity. we all know those makers at the bottom are building crap (dependability-wise, not necessarily fun/useful-wise) cars.
