Chevy says they are the most reliable car brand, Toyota calls bullshit.

Don't think anyone is arguing that. I'm arguing that "there is still 20 year old Toyota and Honda cars on the road" is a meaningless measure of reliability. I still see fucking Neons on the road.
The irony is they are accurately depicting the "no fucking way" response people would give you if you made this claim to them.
I hate these commercials and my in-laws insistence on buying nothing but Malibus makes no sense to me. I bought a 2002 Hyundai Accent with 80k miles on it in 2005 and it finally bit the dust in 2016. Chevy can lick my truck nuts.

I work at the service department at a Toyota dealership. Legit have had Cars without an oil change in 30k miles come through and the car was mostly fine. Lol.
I'm not surprised. Friend ran is Camry into the fucking ground and it still works like he bought it yesterday. Another friend's GMC started having problems after year 1. Toyota is premium with their quality.
I still miss my 2010 Corolla. She served me well 😭😭
My 08 Corolla is currently sitting with 230,000 miles and with the vast majority of its factory installed components intact.
Chevy cars are reliable relative to other American cars which is not saying much. They are still better then the disastrous FCA group. But claiming to be more reliable then Toyota is laughable. Also, Honda have actually been under fire recently with their recent CRV, Civic, and Odyssey. The former two have had significant engine issues where they run very rich in cold environment. Much more then a modern vehicle is supposed to. The Odyssey has a lot of technology issues. It certainly puts them below some German car makers which is crazy.
I owned a 99 Tacoma that was beat to shit and the only maintenance ever needed was oil changes and brakes. I remember the last time I replaced the tires the guy at the shop said only 200k? It's still a baby!! People would regularly post notes on it asking if I wanted to sell it. After a while, I no longer needed a truck and wanted a car so I called up the number on one of the notes and it turned out to be some 18 yo kid. I asked him what he wanted to use it for and he said he needed it for his landscaping business. I wanted to help him out so I sold it to him for only $500 even though I prolly could have sold it for at least $1500.
GM makes shit tier fast food style cars for people that don't want to do research or want the cheapest thing out there. Having owned several, I was incredibly disappointed with their microwave level effort when it came to the new Silverado. FCA just zooming by laughing at the piece of junk.
Best part about these dumb commercials is the guy that does dedicated parodies:
They resonate strongly with the targeted demographic aka anyone that believes a Malibu looks like a $60,000+ BMW/Tesla combination.

Drop a building on, set it on fire, let it sit under salt water over night, and it still started after a few minor tinkering.
Yeah... But those numbers are nothing though. Once they got 300k+ then maybe Chevy can start talking about even beginning to compare reliability to Honda and Toyota. My family had a 87 Civic with over 500k and we just eventually sold it because we wanted something with more technology.
Like 60k miles that's not even 2 years of driving for some people.
Yah I never trusted those adds...
I buy nothing but toyota and own two Tacoma's currently.
Ones 1998 two door Tacoma with 220k miles.All I have done is Kept up with oil changes and brakes. Still Runs Great!
Then a 2014 double cab 4x4 Tacoma with like 47k miles. About to drive from LA to Seattle next Thursday in it.

Seriously my Mazda 3 is 12 years old while having 160,000 miles and still runs well. Honda's and Toyota's are the most reliable cars out there though I mean look at how many Corollas and Civics from the late 90s run better than newer fords and chevys.
It's funny, because I'm in the UK and see these ads when I watch the NFL on GamePass.
My partner saw that advert and actually said 'how do they measure reliable?'.

My 2015 Chevy Sonic's been serving me well so far. Nearly three years, and not any major issues. I get it sent in for regular maintainence, and it's still running really well so far.
That said, I do want to get a Toyota or a Honda eventually.

Yup, I much prefer watching the NFL in the UK via Gamepass over Sky Sports purely for getting a look at the ads that run in America. I almost feel privileged seeing this advert being from the UK now that it's been pulled :p
This is the sort of mileage that someone who drives American cars would brag about.
They recently went after that annoying Amazon singing box commercial
Any of these REAL PEOPLE commercials are so fake as shit.
I especially cant stand those fast food ones on "hidden" camera.
Like, who the fuck thinks any of those are real

Toyota driver here. My first Toyo was a verso van and the only "repair" in ten years was a broken light bulb. That was after owning a VW Golf which was more in repair than on the street.
Now I own a Toyo Hilux truck since over 5 years and abused the shit out of it (work truck) and it never even once failed me. I regulary tow bigass trailers and have a literally ton of load on the bed and it still brought me up mountain roads where luxury 70.000€+ SUVs got stuck.
These trucks are used by middle east terrorist groups for a reason. the US army shot them to shreds and they were still running. There are several reports of US army soldiers who were so impressed by the trucks.
There are also those two Toyoto Prius Taxi cabs in vienna which have over a million km (621,371 miles ) on the clock, no repairs (!) and are still going strong. which is insane for an early bird hybrid car
so yeah, I trust Toyota more than any other car brand.
