Absolutely, that's why they drive Cadillac CTS-V's, Cadillac Escalades, Lincoln Navigators, Corvette's, Cadillac XLR-V's & etc. If YOU were upper class you'd know this, & also that no one that is TRUE upper class would touch a Lexus or Infiniti. They are "wannabe" cars.

I don't live in America. I am from a country with culture and class.

Forbes 'Worst cars on the road 2011'.
By all accounts, Detroit's Big Three automakers have begun producing better-made, longer lasting, more efficient vehicles. It's a distinct change from the 1990s and early 2000s, when they fell behind their European and Asian counterparts in each category.
"This change is not even a gradual thing," says Christine Overstreet, an automotive consultant and director of Heels and Wheels. "It's like they've said, 'OK, we really want to step it up, we really want to compete, we're ready.' After past years of being so bad, they've really stepped up their game."

But with three exceptions--the Mercedes-Benz S550, Smart Fortwo and Nissan Titan--all of the cars on this year's list of the Worst Cars on the Road are (still) made by domestic companies. That includes the Dodge Dakota, Chevy Tahoe Hybrid and Chrysler Town & Country. The only American car company with zero vehicles on the list? Ford.

If you thought the best cars you see hardly have any flaws then here is the moment when your beautifully carved fluffed up thoughts are going to get deflated. Forbes is famous for all the lists it comes out with and this time the list has been titled, Forbes 2011 Worst Cars on the Road. Americans love to lead and even this list with an exception of 2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the 2011 Smart ForTwo and the 2011 Nissan Titan, all the coupes have been crafted by American manufacturers.
Well, the sob story doesn’t end here. Two manufacturers who steal the show in this category are General Motors and Chrysler. Normally it is an honor to appear on the Forbes list but this time Ford will feel overwhelmed to not get a spot.
Forbes compiled the list after considering a lot of factors which consisted going through six studies by Consumer Reports. The reports include the Most Reliable Cars Report, Best and Worst Safety Performance Survey, Best and Worst Fuel Economy, Highest Cost of Ownership, the Best and Worst Values Report.
2011 Cadillac Escalade’s base model won the medal for the Worst Value, Highest Cost of Ownership and Worst Safety Performance lists while 2011 Chevrolet Tahoe Hybridlike Cadillac got on the Worst Value and safety list, and another blemish with the Least Reliable roster. The worst General Motors offerings for 2011 were earned by Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Colorado.
2011 Chrysler Town & Country made Chrysler bow down its head in shame as it got a spot for reliability and cost of ownership. 2011 Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Liberty managed to squeeze in the list as well with the Liberty falling short on reliability and fuel economy. 2011 Jeep Wrangler just like Liberty finds a spot in the reliability section plus also and added worst value spot. The 2011 Dodge Nitro and Dodge Dakota also earn a spot each in similar sections.
