J.D Power does it again.....GASP! Is that a Merc and a Buick in the top 3!!!

I'd say that you can "enhance" your rating with JD Power with using the proper "influence" aka $$$$...Let's face it: a typical Mercury, Buick and Caddy aren't more reliable than an Acura or Honda and a Bimmer isn't more reliable day-to-day than a Ford or Hyundai...It's easy to prove - ask your coworkers and neighbors or look on the side of the road...Maybe they need a JD Power "Real World Reliability" study.

this story is outdated. you can't even buy some of these cars anymore. for example:

Entry Premium Car:
Highest Ranked: Acura CL
Runners-Up: Infiniti I35 (tie)
Lexus IS 300/IS 300 SportCross (tie)

European cars being ranked low doesn't surprise me. Car reviews and recommendations coming from the euroland in the past several years have reported the same thing about BMW and especially Mercedes. The situation with Audi I didn't until now.
