Fiat's role in helping to save Chrysler post-bankruptcy was applauded by President Obama just days ago, but already the naysayers are building their case.

Couldn't be farther from the truth.

Jaguar has had a huge rebound in the past several years.

Ignorance must be bliss.

You made me realize a significant overlook.

13. Volkswagen 80.5% (on par with Nissan)

Skoda, made in Czech Republic and using Volkswagen technology, belongs to Volkswagen AG and serves as a "value" brand. They sell cars usually offering more interior space for the same or lower price.

I'm sure Chrysler will boost Fiat's reliability score.

This survey was for satisfaction (CSI), not reliability, am I wrong?

Yes, customer satisfaction with their purchase. Neither reliability nor initial quality, not this time.

Lexus, and any other Toyota, and really any Japanese car should always be considered at the bottom. They will never be able to make any good cars. That's just a fact. They are even below Yugo and Skoda.

David 969, I do know ignorance is bliss but perhaps you did not know that the European Accord is actually the Acura TSX...Land Rover Discovery is a higher version of the LR3 available here in America and the Toyota Avensis is one of the safest cars in the world.

The European Accord is actually better built than the Equivalent Acura TSX even though basically they are the same cars...

not for long....
Lexus sales are off by more that GM and Chrysler in the US.
Toyota is currently posting a larger loss that GM....
No company is immune to this economic downturn.

I wonder if President Jesus realizes that if Fiat ends up putting Fiat engines and chassis' in Chryslers, that means more jobs for Italians, not Americans?
