There are too many possibly confounding variables among car owners to draw the sort of "Newsweek-ready" conclusions the article is promoting.
As you implied, the results could just as easily be "Hummer and Saab owners top out as whiniest in the automotive market". The perceived complaints of customers may have little to do with the quality or reliability of either of the cars... it seems like the researchers should be analyzing actual garage and dealership service records, and breaking the categories down from complaints like "I don't like the dash lighting color" to "my engine caught on fire and cooked my poodle" to draw a more realistic conclusion.
Don't be duped by mass-marketed statistical cow poo.
Best,
Lutfisk
