How the Big 3 compare

This graph plots American vehicles we've recently tested by their overall road-test and reliability scores. The best models overall are found toward the upper-right; the worst are toward the lower left. Many GM models performed well in our testing but lag in reliability, while some Ford models are strong in reliability but only midpack in our road tests. Many Chrysler vehicles are subpar in both areas.
