I don't think JD Power "dependability ratings" provide a meaningful picture of reliability or durability in the medium to long term. They address how many problems per 100 vehicles arose within a relatively short period of time from purchase as new. That can come down to better fit and finish on luxury brands, meaning fewer minor niggles relating to assembly. I wouldn't conclude from it that brands like BMW, Volkswagen and Audi will be more reliable and durable in the long term than brands like Honda or Acura.
