Keep your eye on Hyundai! Those guys just keep amazing me with their build quality. Their engineering seems to show a lot of ingenuity as well. Chevy and Suzuki just seem odd in those positions on the list

Not surprised at all. My last two 4Runners have had more issues than I'd ever expect. Toyota's quality has gone right into the crapper.

For what it's worth, this is my last Toyota.
