Japanese cars are the most reliable, but not all and only slightly.
American cars offer the most value for the dollar, and are almost as reliable as some Japanese(as reliable as most).
European cars cost a lot more than their counterparts, so most people see them as being more prestigious, but they are the least reliable of the lot.

There is no best make. Only good cars. All cars differ, even from the same maker. Often they're made in different factories in different countries. The designers are often different between models and whilst you may suspect some companies use higher quality parts, the truth is the majority of parts are made by exactly the same major companies. You'll find Bosch parts for example in everything from Skodas and Citroens to Mercedes and BMWs.
It's best to judge cars individually, not by brand. Check sites like www.reliabilityindex.co.uk and the whatcar reliability surveys and take cars for test drives.
Also be aware that parts wear on all cars, it's not just the unexpected break downs you have to look into, it's the servicing costs as well. Sure a Toyota may be more reliable than a Ford, but the parts and servicing will cost considerably more.

Toyota is billed as the most reliable current car in the road, followed closely by Honda by all magazine articles I have read.

It depends. If you are looking to the future Chevrolet is the because the still make parts for all of their vehicles. Most all other manufactures stop making parts after 5-7 years, making it difficult to maintain.

Just buy American, too many good deals out there with the struggles the American auto makers are going through right now. We have to support them as they are responsible for so much of our country's economic strength. I prefer Chevrolet, and if you have the means to buy it the 2006 Corvette Z06 is just completely awesome!

It depends on your budget & tastes. If you really only care about reliability & comfort, go Toyota, but if you also like something that handles well and has a sporty feel , go with a Honda or Acura.

Mercedes - although expensive, you get what you pay for and the after care is second to none.
I am lucky enough to have a CLK kompressor cabriolet which I love !!

Usually anything Japanese if you want reliability. Go German if you want something more up-market.
A Honda or a BMW i'd say
