DETROIT - People might have to stop making all those jokes about the quality of Ford’s cars — the ones that say Ford stands for “Found on Road Dead” or “Fixed or Repaired Daily.”

Now, it could be “Fixing Our Reputation Daily.”

Ford Motor Co. supplanted Toyota as leader of the pack in J.D. Power and Associates’ annual initial quality rankings released Wednesday, grabbing more individual awards than any other automaker for the first time since 1998, when it tied for the top spot.

Ford ranked highest in five of 19 segments in this year’s survey. That’s two better than in 1998 — the last time a U.S. automaker was on top — when Ford tied with Toyota and Honda.

Aw..crap...repost. Mods delete.

 

dont count your blessings too fast, thats initial quality. Remember audi won it a couple years ago.


that saud 1 year into owning my car, still seems awesome to me, except for the cheap leather on the seats.

 

Aww you mean I can't say "Flipped Over Russian Dunebuggy' anymore? . Even though it is initial quality the average person will still correlate Ford with actually beating Toyota in "quality" most will forget about the initial part anyway when they pass the news to someone else. I want to see Toyota get blasted.
