As its been said already, these mags always say bad things about american cars...I don't pay any attention to them.
I think I speak for the 2006 year, and say it IS reliable. I daily drive mine, and I can drive it hard at times...yet its always up for what I throw at it. At 105,000 miles, I have had only a few problems, nothing major. (water pump, power steering pump, ISS, Burnt bulb in the cluster).
There has been a few imports in my family (my cousin, she always gets the Japanese cars) and none of her car have had any less problems then mine, or my parents American made cars. :P

Sounds like a under the table job then personally. Though I never really read the mag. I have heard that they rated all AA batteries the same rating, as in dollar General batters are the same as name brand.
My dad has had problems with the idiot lights, nothing that a peice of tape cant fix. As far as any car, if people would take care of them (most of the problems with cars) they would be okay.
