Lexus is the top brand for initial new car quality once again, while American automakers are improving faster than the competition. Who knows – by the time they’re out of business, the not-so-Big Three could be the best in new car quality. This is based on the 2009 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study, a beauty contest kind of survey that measures how well a car holds up in the first three months of ownership. The answer is: pretty well, thank you. The top five brands had less than one problem per car in those first three months. And the results suggest that cars with lots of technology aren’t particularly trouble-prone. In fact, they’re more likely to above average on initial quality; only two high-tech brands finished in the bottom half.
