Porsche was the No. 2 brand, followed by GM's Cadillac, then Hyundai and Honda. Lexus was No. 1. This is the annual Initial Quality study, not one of the long term ones. "J.D. Power credited the improvement to several well-received new models that were launched in 2009. It said vehicles like Hyundai's Genesis, Kia's Borrego, Toyota's Venza and Volkswagen's CC performed better than their segment averages. Several redesigned 2009 models also scored well, J.D. Power said." Study: Detroit lifts quality but Toyota still king (Yahoo) |

Replying to: houdini1 (Jun 23, 2009 5:27 am) I don't read the MINI boards so I'm not up to speed on it, but I don't see many reliability complaints over in Edmunds Answers. The other "bad" brand, Land Rover, gets awful reviews in the forum, but most of those relate to the Freelander. Hyundai doesn't seem to think they offer a luxury brand: Hyundai is the Highest Ranked Non-Premium Nameplate in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study (PR Newswire) Funny, the source link at Hyundai is down. Maybe someone didn't like the "non-premium" characterization.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 23, 2009 7:08 am) Also, JD Power has so many categories that most products can find a slot to be in top 3, if not number 1. Glad to see Hyundai improving, but they were 3rd in 06, ? in 07, 13th in 08 and now 4th in 09 in JD Power per Autoweek.

Replying to: steve_ (Jun 23, 2009 7:08 am) Maybe because Hyundai is NOT a luxury brand/nameplate. Just like Toyota is not a luxury brand. But that doesn't mean that Hyundai cannot produce a car that competes against cars from luxury brands. |
