Further obliterating the last remaining shred of relevance they may have at one time possessed, Consumer Reports' 2007 New Car Reliability Predictions have found that of every automaker currently in existence, Mercedes-Benz now produces the world's least-reliable vehicles.

Thankfully, however, we have Japan to fall back on, with Toyota and Honda brands holding each of the top five positions.  More specifically, Toyota, Honda, Scion, Acura and Lexus held spots one through five, respectively.

As for my take on the matter, I have far too little energy to even begin to respond to the bullshit continually pumped out by Consumer Reports.  Maybe it's an attempt to garner publicity by criticizing one of the world's best-selling luxury brands; maybe they truly believe the refuse they publish; either way, Consumer Reports and any opinion they possess in regards to purchasing a vehicle is, in my opinion, a joke.
