One thing that I find weird is that the Germans are almost given a pass on quality/reliability issues, whereas if it were Ford or GM, they would get crushed over that very same issue. As for the customer regret list, I completely concur with the QX50 on this list. Infiniti is barely an upgraded Nissan; at least with Lexus, there is value in buying MOST of those vehicles over a common Toyota. As for the Luxury sales list, I cannot believe that Tesla is outselling Cadillac by over 3 to 1. Also, BMW then MB then Lexus? Is this an image thing? German cars cost two arms and a leg after about five years for any repair.

@Drew Dowdell @oldshurst442 @ccap41 @surreal1272 @smk4565 Interesting news as Consumer Reports puts out their updated listing of Auto's. Only 1 Luxury SUV Ranks Among Consumer Reports' 10 Least Reliable Cars of 2022 (motorbiscuit.com) the least reliable car on the list was a luxury SUV, and that model was the 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE. This luxury German SUV was redesigned recently, and unfortunately for Mercedes-Benz and its customers, that’s when the reliability issues came up. Before the redesign, the GLE was a fairly reliable car. Afterward, though, its reliability scores sank to the bottom. Only 1 American Car Brand Is on Consumer Reports Reliable Top 10 List (motorbiscuit.com) 10 Most reliable car brands for 2023 according to Consumer reports: Toyota Lexus BMW Mazda Honda Audi Subaru Acura Kia Lincoln American Brands Top Their German Rivals in Large SUVs for 2023 (motorbiscuit.com) 9 Best Luxury Large SUVs for 2022 and 2023 | U.S. News (usnews.com) 2023 Lincoln Navigator 2023 Cadillac Escalade 2023 Land Rover Range Rover 2023 BMW X7 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLS-Class 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer 2022 Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2023 Lexus LX 2023 Infiniti QX80 Thanks to that strong balance of features and specs, U.S. News ranked the Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator above German luxury SUVs such as the BMW X7 and the Mercedes-Benz GLS. Both the X7 and the GLS have an overall score of 8.3 out of 10, which shows that they’re not bad large luxury SUVs by any means. It’s just that they have slightly more issues than the Lincoln or the Caddy does. Interestingly enough, both the BMW and the Mercedes share a common problem, and it has to do with their infotainment systems. The X7 starts with a 14.9-inch touchscreen, while the GLS starts with a 12.3-inch touchscreen. The problems with these systems have to do with usability. The X7’s infotainment system has a learning curve, while the GLS’ infotainment system is reportedly “overwhelming.”
