Well if we're only talking about mechanical I can see the GM's doing well, but electrical issues cripple many a vehicle, so excluding them from the reliability charting is misguided at best, and downright deceitful at worst.
I remember the mechanics mantra with the GM vans was always: electrical and wheel hubs, because there where
always problems there. Dodges are also plagued with electrical issues, as well as most years having terrible transmission problems. The only common gripe I've heard about the Hondas were the couple years of transmission horrors that were already mentioned, and the struts don't tend to last as long as they should.
