Just got my new copy of the J.D. Power car guide. Some surprising results! Isuzu is hardly ever even mentioned in the 100 page guide. All of you Hummer and Cayenne fans will be interested to know that in the quality rankings, the Hummer was dead last followed by Volkswagen and Porsche. They went on to say that Porsche was only ranked so low because of the abysmal quality of the Cayenne (the 911 is still ranked number one in Premium Sports cars). The overall top-ranked brand remains Lexus (this also agrees with Consumer Reports).
Hyundai was ranked very high, 7th out of 37, beating many more prestigious brands like Mercedes, Infiniti and BMW. They say Korean cars are the best value since their quality (although once terrible) is now equal to the competition, with lower prices and a better warranty (100K mi). Just thought some might be interested. Please post remarks, comments, etc.
