Well I don't want to start a big debate about quality, I was speaking in general of course. I recently read an actual quote from a high ranking exec at Ford something to the effect "we will at the same quality level as Toyota by 2006". And just last week I read a similar quote by a Hyundai exec.
Don't get me wrong I love my H3, but I am grown up enough to accept that GM's quality is not the tops in the world. They have come a long way and are closing the gap... </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
In the latest J.D Powers initial quality report G.M. came in a close second to Toyota over all, with 8 models best in class. The worst ranked GM product was the Pontiac Vibe, that’s built by Toyota at a Toyota plant for GM. In long term quality (3 years old) GM edged Toyota out for the #1 spot, but I don’t remember the #s off hand. The quality build you’re seeing in the H3 is happening across GMs line up as each platform is up dated.
