Buick and Jaguar top 2009 JD Power Dependability Survey

Just as in the other location where this was reported -

the story was that Lexus didn't win, as it has every single year since it was included in the survey.

A couple of points john seems to have missed:

"In terms of individual model performance, Lexus and Toyota still do very, very well."

"Despite losing its crown to Jaguar and Buick, Lexus still swept top awards in four segments, while Toyota's namesake brand took five awards. "

"Jaguar jumped from the No. 10 spot in 2008, while Buick leapt from the No. 6 spot. The movement is notable for a study that is fairly consistent from year to year, and the results marked the first time Lexus was not either first or tied for first since it was first included in the study in 1995. "

It's also interesting to note that the brands that john loves to call the "real" luxury cars, BMW and Mercedes, came in 17th and 19th in the same survey. Maybe if they put their noses to the grindstone they can catch up to Subaru and Hyundai next year!

Does anybody here think john has posted this embarrassing news to the BMW or Mercedes newsgroups?

You forgot to ask....

"And John, just what car do you drive"
