Ford Beats Toyota in Quality for 2007

The people that plunk down cold, hard cash for Toyota and Honda products
have decided that they *are* worth it. The Little Three are losing the
race, if they have not already hit the point of no return. The contract
talks, assuming that the UAW has an attack of sanity and goes with deep
concessions to the Little Three, might have a chance. Maybe.

I'm hoping they rebound, despite having bought Toyotas for the last 20 or so
years. I'm all for domestic automakers getting back on their feet; I'd love
to keep the profits here. I think they're on the right track, but hope it's
not too late to rebuild the trust.

And, as I've said all along, if I were in the market for a large vehicle,
I'd go domestic. The Japanese haven't quite got the hang of it, yet, and
even if they ever do, I don't think they'll ever do it as well as the US.

As faulty as the Consumer Union survey is I as far as I am concerned it has
much more realistic
relevance to the real world then the JDP initial quality survey.
Double Tap

 

Actually, JDP does write a headline. In this case it was:

J.D. Power and Associates Reports:
Ford Motor Company Captures Most Awards in 2007 Initial Quality Study

http://www.jdpower.com/corporate/news/releases/pressrelease.aspx?ID=2007088

You might be surprised by the amount of "news" which is really just
corporate press releases.

 

That's not the headline that was in the paper. Go to news.google.com,
type in auto quality. Not one of the articles had that for the headline.
Like I said, JD Power doesn't write the newspaper headlines, the
newspapers do.
