I think these JD initial quality surveys are bogus. If I recall, mercedes was 4th and they make some of the crappiest cars in Germany. Frankly, initial quality over the first 90 days doesn't mean much to me. What I care about is good quality both initially and 7 years down the line.

Is a car really "quality" if it is defect free for the first 90 days and then the engine blows up after 25K miles? However, I will admit it is nice to see PCar on this list so that non-owners have the perception Porsche produces well made cars.
