Consumer Reports' annual auto rankings laud Honda, Subaru

How is it possible that Mercedes-Benz and BMW hat such poor reliability marks?

Owner expectation. Buy a Mercedes and expect perfection, give a low score for the slightest fault. Buy a Kia expecting problems, give a high mark because you're delighted when they don't materialise.

Remember the faultless Toyota, not now but still third considering their problems?
