NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - For the first time, Korean carmakers, thanks to
a strong performance by Hyundai, have surpassed both domestic and
European carmakers in initial quality, a measure of the number of
problems owners experience in a new car.

Brian Walters, senior director of vehicle research for Power, calls
Hyundai's performance one of the largest improvements the firm has ever
seen. Hyundai bolstered its quality 29 percent from last year and 62
percent since 1998, scoring only 102 problems per 100 vehicles for all
its models. Among manufacturers, only Toyota Motor, with 101, did
better, Honda, also at 102, did as well.

Toyota branded vehicles -- Toyota Motor Corp. also makes Lexus and
Scion vehicles -- actually did slightly worse than Hyundai. Toyota cars
had 104 problems per 100 vehicles.

Kia, the only other Korean auto brand now sold in the United States,
languished far behind. Kia owners reported 153 problems per 100
vehicles. The average car brand had 119 problems per 100 vehicles.
Kia's performance was still an improvement over last year, though, when
owners reported 168 problems per 100 vehicles.

GM leads the "Big Three"
Among the American carmakers, General Motors scored best at 120
problems per 100 vehicles, followed by Daimler Chrysler at 123, and
Ford at 127.

The top American nameplate, Cadillac, cruised into second place among
all branded lines with a score of 93. Other above-average American
nameplates were GM's Buick and Mercury, a division of Ford Motor
Company, at 100 and the soon-to-be-defunct Oldsmobile division of GM at
110.

The worst performer was also a General Motors brand. Hummer, tallied
173 problems per 100 vehicles. Others faring poorly were Volkswagen
(164), Porsche (159), Mazda (157), and Nissan (154). Helping pull down
Toyota's leading average was its new Scion line, which scored a clunky
158.

The best news for consumers is that a clear majority of existing
models, 129 of 169, (76 percent) showed year-to-year improvement while
only 35 (21 percent) declined. "We've seen improvement across the
board," says Walters.

Since 1998, defects in American cars have dropped 32 percent from 182
per 100 vehicles. Power rated several domestic models tops in their
class. Among premium midsize cars Buick Century led, as did the Mercury
Grand Marquis in the full-size division. The highest ranked sporty car
was the Dodge Stratus Coupe.

Three domestic trucks also led their divisions with Ford Explorer Sport
Trac rated the best sport compact; the Dodge Ram HD the top heavy-duty,
full-size pickup; and the Chevrolet Suburban the highest ranked
full-size SUV.

Among all manufacturers, the cleanest individual model, the Lexus SC
430, recorded the best score ever recorded by Power, just 44 problems
per 100 vehicles. Lexus also came in first among all nameplates,
although Power reported that for all Lexus models, quality had declined
14 percent.

Hyundai's Sonata claimed the top spot for entry-level, mid-size cars.
Toyota recorded three firsts with the top-rated compact (Corolla),
light-duty, full-size pickup (Tundra), and midsize SUV (4Runner). The
company also recorded four firsts with its Lexus line.

The Power survey measures a range of quality problems detected during
the first 90 days of ownership. It compiles responses from 51,000
owners and lessees and is weighted toward defects and malfunctions,
workmanship, drivability, ease of use, and safety factors

Oh, come on, let Troy continue his delusions. JD Powers does indeed do
motorcycle surveys/tests also. As a consumer you can't aquire the results,
they are only available to the manufacturers. But believe it or not, Buell
XB series is top ranked in reliability by what I'm told by people in the
biz. But lets keep it our secret, it's far too much fun to see Troy run
off at the mouth and continue his long tradition of being a delusional
blow hard.
