Power and Associates of Agoura Hills, California." "Ranking second is Porsche, followed by Nissan's luxury brand, Infiniti."

"Listed as below average in long-term dependability are, in alphabetical order: Chevrolet, Chrysler, Dodge, Eagle, GMC, Hyundai, Isuzu, Jeep, Kia, Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Plymouth, Pontiac, Saab, Suzuki, Volvo and Volkswagen. Power does not publicly release the below-average rankings."
