How can the same car be on a 10 best list like this one and then also be on the 10 worst reliable car list? Who is bullshitting who here?

Two different lists measuring two different things. One measures how well the cars do what they are intended to do. Camaro punches way above its weight class there. The other measures problems per 1,000 vehicles over a period of time. It does not weight the seriousness of those things gone wrong. Can’t pair my phone to Bluetooth I and wireless charger doesn’t work get counted as much as burns too much oil. For years (decades?) Jaguars have been among the most unreliable cars. But still, they are awesome automobiles.

If the list is put out by Consumer Reports, it is absolute 100% bullshit.

Didn't last long. Consumer Reports Ranked These Cars Worst in Reliability for 2018.
10. Chevrolet Camaro We know Camaro is among the worst cars for visibility, but its high road score and impeccable owner satisfaction make its reliability rating a puzzler. There were a few areas (paint, exhaust) that saw declines over the past few years, but the feedback on its transmission system made it a flop in 2017. Other weak spots of recent years (e.g., power equipment, electronics) remained unreliable, while Camaro’s drive system also floundered.

For CR, everything is an appliance -even cars. As such, the biggest sin that can be committed in their eyes is being unreliable. After all, an appliance that doesn't work is utterly worthless. Meanwhile, C&D is for enthusiasts. Enjoyment is the most important thing. Faults can be overlooked so long as its still fun to dive.

Speaking of Consumer Reports, I remembered I had a pdf of their 2017 review. I enjoy how they view it as an appliance (understandable for their organisation) and then list "image may not fit your persona" as a con. That's pretty subjective in my books.

I’ve never had much confidence in Consumer Reports. They don’t drive my purchasing decisions.

"1-5" star ratings on Amazon have more legitimacy than Consumer Reports as far as I'm concerned.
