I don't understand why Honda is at the top of the list. Volvo is way too up for Qatar. Volvo is a car designed for low temperatures not for the Qatar hot summers. Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen these ones should be on the top of your list. I had one of those Class b motorhomes up until recently and now I got myself a Volkswagen. I'm pretty happy about it but I would rather buy a hybrid Lexus in the future.

this ranking is according to new york times meaning to say that this is based on worldwide market (or perhaps US market) and not for qatar alone...

Hummer is under GM,near the bottom of the list.Not very reliable cars.I do not agree with Volvo and Ford above Nissan and Mazda though.

I would like to know which one is the safest car out of these in case of accidents?

By edifis• 6 Mar 2011 00:17

OK I agree..Subaru is quite reliable but is Hyundai better than Mazda?

If Hyundai is up there then why is Kia missing from the list.

Honda on top of the list seems okie as most of Indians like to buy this brand...and they are quite in number here. But, Subaru? Cant agree :P
