Lexus, Toyota and Buick are the most reliable brands in Consumer Reports' latest survey, a reward for their conservative approach to new technology.
It's the fourth straight year that Lexus came in first and Toyota came in second. Two of their hybrids—the Toyota Prius and the Lexus CT 200H—were named the most reliable vehicles. But Buick—General Motors Co.'s near-luxury marque—is the first domestic brand to crack the top three since the magazine began tracking vehicle reliability in the early 1980s.
Audi and Kia rounded out the top five brands.
Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and Ram—all owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles—were the worst performers. Electric car maker Tesla Motors also fared poorly.
The magazine released its annual reliability survey Monday. It's closely watched by the industry, since many buyers look to the magazine for recommendations.

It's their Cadillac version of Toyota. I used to be a Ford man until the mid 1970s when they went to making nothing but crap. Then I was a Toyota man, but mid 1990s they too went to crap. I finally went to GM... first a few Saturns, then after Saturn was shut down I went with Chevy but only if it had the same Ecotec engine as the Saturn.

NO! It is not all, at all! The dude went the full Saturn, dude? Do you know what that means?
1. Dude knows nothing about cars.
2. Dude is probably a chick, or at least alt-right metrosexual, or ammosexual. (why is it the gun nuts can never figure out anything more complicated than an automated reloading system in an environment filled with available wasted energy?)
3. See Numbers 1, and 2.
I once saw a pimped out ride, but something was just wrong. Metal-flake paint job, in Black, man! Lowered, Mag rims, carrying handle on the trunk deck, Type R sticker, everything! But something was just wrong. Then it hit me: it was a Saturn.
