Unfortunately, I'm not sure Detroit is really acomplishing that right now. Unfortunately for them...fortunately for the other brands.
Toyota and its luxury Lexus brand topped the charts again in J.D. Power’s vehicle dependability study while Ram climbed into the top 10.
The Asian automaker’s Lexus brand ranked first and Toyota was tied with Lincoln for third in the study which measures problems owners report in their 2010 model-year cars after three years of ownership.
Porsche was ranked second and Mercedes-Benz was fifth.
While the Detroit Three continued to narrow the gap on quality scores in the study, seven Toyota and Lexus models had the best scores in their segment awards — more than any other manufacturer in 2013.
“More so than other automaker, when they have choices to make, they almost always make the choice to maximize the dependability of their vehicle,” said David Sargent, vice president of global automotive at J.D. Power and Associates. “It’s something they have been doing for 30 years.”

Wow - that anime is worse than some of the recent Asian stuff! It just looks angry and ugly.

I think it looks better than the Ford fish mouth on the Fusion.

All better!

I was shocked, and Jeep is usually conservative with styling. All it needs are round headlights (one set, not two), and maybe a tamer lower grille.

I think the main thing is the heavy use of chrome on the front, make that black or body colour and it would be better, I will reserve judgment on the rest until I see it in real life ( could be okay or could be ugly, will have to wait and see) it certainly is different in any case.

The contrast certainly doesn't help. I predict an emergency refresh in the 2nd year, which is sadly common nowadays.

Got a free ticket to the Cleveland Auto Show. Really have too much to do so am just going up, basically, to see the Impala, the SS, and the Cadillacs, as well as the classic cars they always have on display too.
