There is a big difference between these two measures!
Durability means how long the car lasts (design life) - if most of the pieces last for 250k, that's the design life. Reliability is how many things fail over some period of time - not necessarily over the design life.
Hondas and Toyotas definitely have high reliability! If you read Consumer reports carefully you'll see a chart that shows how the narrow the categories have gotten i.e. Average is not that much less reliable than Much better than Average.
