3 points to consider:

There is a huge difference between initial quality and long term ( More than 3 years, JDP only goes to 3) quality / durability. I am not sure off the top of my head but I think that the Big 2 (Toyota and Honda) still kick the pants off of the Shrinking 3.

Resale value. The Shrinking 3 depreciation rate is exponential while the others are a little more linear.

Also, the expectations of the buyer play a role. I may be stereotyping, but I assume a Chrysler customers standards are a little different then those of a Toyota customer (in general, not always)
