I am interested in the differentiation between Ford/Lincoln, GMC/Chevrolet/Cadillac/Buick, and Dodge/Ram/Chrysler, given that each of those groupings is the same manufacturer. And in GM's case especially they have multiple vehicles under all three marquees that are the same damn car underneath with different badges and trim colors.

Not surprised to see Chrysler at the bottom, though.

What a pile of crap the U.S. auto manufacturers are. They purposefully build cars that break to increase revenue.

It is wrong to see that as a "US car manufacturers" problem. That mistakenly implies that other corporations would not behave this way or that this is anomalous behavior. This is how monopolies behave and it is the end state of any insufficiently regulated market.

Probably down to factory quality control and parts sourcing. Sure most of the parts are coming out of China. But, companies can get better or worse quality parts for more or less money. And once those parts are put in a car, you can have differing levels (read: costs) of the work being double checked.
