Cars are on a whole other level vs. where they were in terms of reliability. I was a Ford mechanic paid on commission for 7 years. I saw first hand how build quality and reliability increased exponentially. Matter of fact, that's why I had to get on a different career path. Cars today may have quirks or first year issues, but for the most part they're all good to go. Especially the American brands.
There is a reason they do reliability studies. And the data puts Dodge at the bottom of the list and chevy and most of GM is in the top 1/4. Actually this is my first Chevrolet. I have owned a Acura Legend, BMW 7series, Volvo 960 and my CJ. My ZL1 rates in reliability along with those cars. But then again I am an old guy. So fanboy is a trigger word.
