Lexus Bumps Porsche To Top J.D. Power Initial Quality Study

The auto industry is down, but it's not yet out: 2009 vehicles are showing higher overall initial quality ratings than 2008 throughout the industry according to the latest J.D. Power Initial Quality Survey.

Lexus took the top spot this year, displacing Porsche, which has held first place for the past two years. The strong performance of the LX 570 helped it reach the top, rating an industry-best of just 52 problems per 100 vehicles (or PP100, as J.D. Power terms it).
