JD Powers Survey. US Automakers exceed Imports in quality!

Who makes the best cars?  Two weeks ago JD Powers and Associates released their latest automobile quality survey.  As always the ratings are based on 3-year old cars, the 2007 models, and are compiled by surveying some 40,000 owners of their respective cars.  Overall domestic automakers had 108 problems per 100 cars while imported automakers had 109 problems per 100 cars.  (See below).

Just as importantly - the manufacturers with the most problems are all imports, as was the case last year.  The bottom five manufacturers in the JD Power survey were all imports (Land Rover, Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, Mini and Jaguar).  Interestingly,  Toyota dropped from 6th place all the way down to 21st place.  The JD Power survey is the Gold Standard in the auto industry.
