The Cellar - View Single Post - Worst-Made Cars on the Road 2010

My experience of American cars is pretty limited and possibly somewhat dated, however on my visits to the US I have rented a Buick Le Sabre (once) and the Chevrolet Cavalier on three occasions.
I found them comfortable and powerful enough and all the fixtures and fittings were more than adequate. Admittedly I doubt very much whether any vehicle would have been more than about six months old so they weren't going to exhibit problems associated with wear and tear. I notice that Chevrolet cars appear in second and third place on the list of the worst, but can the whole range be said to be poor, or is it simply a case of a couple of rogue models?
Generally speaking, do Buick and Chevrolet have a reasonable reputation amongst US drivers?

ETA: My last visit to the US was in 2004. I did say my experience was somewhat dated.
