If you had read the entire thread, you would probably know the only reason I made that comparison was because I was responding to someone else's comparison.
And I find it funny how everyone is so quick to proclaim their problems with their GM cars, but no one will say anything of their problems with their BMWs. Why? GMs are supposed to break, BMWs arent, right? So if I have a BMW that is a piece of shit, hell no I'm not going to tell everyone about it, because I when I bought this car, I told everyone that it would break far less than any other car (if at all), so now if I tell people that my Bimmer is a pile, I will be wrong. Cant have that.
Like I said before, I worked on many a BMW and spoke with many a BMW owner. About half of the owners would have you believe that their cars were in tip top operating condition (see above), but it was obvious enough to us that they were not. The other half were pretty cool about talking about what was up with their cars...some of which admitted that they didnt want to fix/maintain certain parts of their car because it was just too damn expensive.
Concerning the site I linked to, Edmunds.com, if you dont know anything about them, well, that sorta tells me the extent of your automotive knowledge. Edmunds is one of the top sources for car ratings. And if you understand anything about the way they rate cars, you would probably know that it is impossible to rate the entire population of a given Make/Model of car. They rate a sample population of that car. So guess what.....that probably means there are some worse than the rating, and some better. Some people call this a normal distribution of a sample.
You have owned 1 Park Avenue, so you automatically come to the conclusion that ALL Park Avenues are pieces of shit? Well, I tend to go with a service like Edmunds that tests a sample of multiple cars to come to their conclusions. You have had bad luck with GM/Buick/Park Avenues, and if you never buy another GM vehicle because of it, more power to you.
