In late 2005 I started conducting my own car reliability research. I'm reporting absolute stats like "times in the shop" that will make the differences between cars much clearer. Relative ratings obscure too much--how large is the difference between "better than average" and "worse than average"? I’ll also be updating results four times a year, so there will be information on new models sooner.
For example, TrueDelta will have the first reliability information on the Acadia and Outlook, in August. The owner/admin of this forum also owns an outstanding GMC Acadia forum, and I am very grateful for his help informing people about this research.
I hope to similarly start providing reliability information on the Enclave within months of when it goes on sale.
To encourage participation, panel members receive full access to the results free of charge.

Update: TrueDelta now has a separate results page for each model that includes the scores of competitors for easy comparisons. The one for the Buick Enclave:
