I did notice that US bit, but when looking at the chart you can't help but notice the presence of non-US brands (Renault, Fiat, Alfa, etc) and the absence of US only brands (Buick, Pontiac, Lincoln).
Here is J.D. Power's reliability survey-
http://www.autoindustry.co.uk/news/10-08-06_14
Lexus, 136
Mercury,151
Buick, 153
Cadillac, 163
Toyota, 179
Acura, 184
Honda, 194
Jaguar, 210
BMW, 212
Infiniti, 215
Lincoln,220
Ford, 224
Oldsmobile, 224
Industry Average, 227
Chrysler, 232
Pontiac, 232
Subaru, 232
GMC, 239
Mercedes-Benz, 240
Chevrolet, 241
Nissan, 242
Mazda, 243
Porsche, 248
Hyundai, 253
Dodge, 258
Mitsubish, 260
Jeep, 264
Volvo, 272
Audi, 279
MINI, 280
Isuzu, 283
Saturn, 289
Volkswagen, 299
HUMMER, 307
Kia, 310
Suzuki, 318
Saab, 326
Land Rover, 438
As you can see, there are some major differences between TG and JDP. Mini is ranked very high in TG, but very low in JDP. Lexus wins in JDP, but places 8th in TG. Jag is high in JDP (beating BMW) and low in TG. Mitsubishi and Mazda are very high in TG, but place much lower in JDP. Nissan falls quite a bit from TG to JDP.
There are some noticable trends that both share- Land Rover is bad, as is Saab, VW, and Audi. BMW and Mercedes are pretty close to average (BMW a little above, Merc a little below). Ford is a bit above average. Honda and Toyota are consistently strong.
