That actually speaks pretty sadly for GM, given how many different brands GM has compared to Toyota. Also, are they counting commercial vehicles too?

Reliability <> desireable. There are plenty of reliable vehicles that consumers still don't want, because they are boring to look at or boring to drive. Which incidentally is why the vast majority of rental cars are American. Had those cars been more desireable, they could have been sold to regular consumers instead, for a higher profit.
