I think this is a dated perception. JD Power shows a fair showing of American cars in its 2013 initial quality study: http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/quality/

- soperj 13y agoI've always found JD Power to be a bit biased towards American made cars. Maybe because he worked for Ford and GM, I don't know, but even at their worst, they always seemed to be featured by them.
- gtaylor 13y agoI'm not sure about the American bias, as I see tons of non-US cars in the sedans list, but their truck ratings are a travesty: http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/quality/trucks.htm http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/quality/trucks.htm I have been utterly unimpressed with the Silverados and Avalanches. For that kind of money, I expect a lot more than fragile/cheap interiors (Silverado) and the crummy bed on the Avalanche.
- skorgu 13y ago"Initial quality" is the key phrase. You could imagine a car being very appealing in the dealership and falling apart a year down the line.
