2008 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study: Porsche, Honda, Chevroletamong big winners

Consumer Reports isn't the authoritative survey, but because it's on
the magazine shelf it has a lot of clout with the typical consumer. If
you know a more authoritative source than JD Powers let me know.

Why admit you made a mistake, when you can easily afford the maintenance.

Several years ago Mercedes owners had enough of their problems and many
