    Kia's been getting better ever since Hyundai bought them out. Hyundai has been making a better name for themselves as well. Not sure why people still bust on the Korean cars. They're not the same crap they were years ago.

    I only see 4 American companies on the list and they didn't do so hot...

    #14 Ford - 26.76%
    #26 Chrystler - 34.90%
    #32 Land Rover - 44.21%
    #33 Jeep - 46.36%

    I know I spelled it wrong, I wanted to make it blatantly obvious what I was trying to say. And apparently it got my point across.
