I am showing that even on his terms--i.e., assuming that JDPower 's data is reliable--SVTSHC's arguments don't hold much water. And I don't completely discount JDPower's utility - it's just not as good as the CR data. JDPower's sample size limitations will not have as drastic an impact on the reliability of its data for high-selling manufacturers (as opposed to the little guys like Scion and Subaru). I'd give CR about double the weight of JDPower in any reliability assessment.
