J.D. Power ranks GM tops in quality for first time

[onehandle]

For the first time General Motors is the car company with the best quality, according to J.D. Power & Associates' annual automotive survey released Wednesday.

It was a significant accomplishment for a company whose questionable vehicle quality in the past was part of what put it on a path of steady market share declines, financial losses and eventually a 2009 bankruptcy and federal bailout.

"This is a huge milestone, especially in light of the bankruptcy," said Michelle Krebs, senior analyst with Edmunds.com.

GM was ranked seventh in the rankings last year. It was helped by its GMC truck brand, which went from 12th place to 2nd in overall quality among the various auto nameplates, and Chevrolet, which jumped from 15th to 5th. It was the first time those two nameplates were among the top five brands ranked by Power.

I missed this last week. Great news.

1. Good news, but one question

Is J.D. Power as corrupt as the rating agencies that facilitated the 2008-2009 collapse of the world economy?

To use my own self created meme:

OUR INSTITUTIONS ARE INFESTED WITH CORRUPT SOCIOPATHS

Also, had Romney been elected, there would no longer be a GM. Or Chrysler. Just the Big One: Ford Motor

Why do Republicans HATE America?
