While looking at Consumer Reports, they seem to be on the ball...until you see something more in real-time, than "predictions" based on older models.

Now take a look at the 2007 JD Power Inital Quality Survey..quite contrasting considering Mercedes Benz now produces a higher quality product than Toyota, Porsche is # 1 for the past two years, and a Ford Mustang has even a higher built quality than a Toyota Solara.

Now remember, statistical probability dictates if something will go wrong due to manufacturing or latent defect, it will happen much sooner than later, hence the reasoning behind "initial quality" reports.

Yes DESIGN whould be part of the equation, as people buy what they want, not what they need.

Answer 1

While I agree Consumer Reports predicted reliability scores should be taken with a grain of salt, I don't consider the JD Power IQS any better. Did you know it actually counts "design defects" in rating initial quality? For example, you think the cup holders are lousy in your car -- that's considered a ding in the IQS.
