No 1 and 2 might as well be Toyota, Toyota.

Lexus is essentially a Toyota subsidiary

You can’t just use a car brand to draw the durability calculations.You need to be specific about the particular model of each brand.

They just copied without giving credit to the OP. When I read "drop a dime", I knew it wasn't Nigeria. But overall, I think Japanese cars are very economical and reliable. But I don't know their performance of subjected to the extreme low temperatures of north America.
I stand to be corrected, Japanese are economical but not reliable.....when you talk of reliable cars,you pick German cars first before any.engine oil can dry up in your German car and it will go miles,don't every try such with Japanese cars ....talking from experience

Hmmm ..... chew on this .... why don't you see explorers ... going into remote areas use German cars/SUV's? ... why don't you see terrorists going on missions use German cars? Why is it almost always Toyota? ....never a Benz or a Beamer?

@ topic ... Lexus/Toyota hands down. I believe Subaru should be higher on the list. Hyundai are pretty reliable too....within the warranty miles. ...and so is Mazda. I agree with the positions of the Audi ...the Benz ... and the Beamer if they are brand new . Volvo too.

Toyota owns Lexus engines
So what is 1 and 2 for?
Toyota and Lexus equally consumes more fuel for their v6 engines

Its consumer report (American). American still dont really trust Hyundai/Kia. Many got burnt by Hyundai in the past. Engine goining on fire and carbon build up in it's GDI engines.

Yes naa, Mazda is a very strong car. Honda is always old in it's second hand
Then why is Mazda cheaper than Honda in the second hand market?

Moreover, Nissan should bit higher on the list, especially those rugged old models
