Jaguar, Buick dethrone Lexus to #1 spot (JD Power)

NEW YORK — British luxury carmaker Jaguar surged to the top of J.D. Power and Associates' closely watched vehicle dependability study this year, tying Buick for the No. 1 spot and dethroning Lexus for the first time since the Japanese luxury brand has been a part of the survey.
Lexus, Toyota Motor's (TM) luxury brand, took second place in the study released Thursday, followed by Toyota's namesake brand, then Mercury, Infiniti and Acura.

Where was BMW???

the problem with the powers system imo is that quality doesn't really count untill you rack up some serious miles on the odo. the survey never measures longevitiy

E61Silver is an unknown quantity at this point
Powers is a for profit firm, I don't view them as unbiased.

^ Seriously, you would think people would actually give more credence to lawsuits, and settlements. Oil gelling. Come on, does Toyota really deserve #1 after 6 years of blaming customers for their woefully engineered PCV system, and then settling out of court when class action was initiated?

It just goes to show you most people can be bought with marketing, no matter how well informed they are.

Probably spawns from Toyota and Honda being a benchmark for so long.

No doubt. But if we as consumers are not prepared to change our analytics and accept new data, we get what we deserve. We should never accept "it was before" as a replacement for "it is now."
