The 2007 J.D. Power Initial Quality Study is based on responses from more than 97,000 purchasers and lessees of new 2007 model-year cars and trucks surveyed after 90 days of ownership. The study is based on a 228-question battery designed to provide manufacturers with information to facilitate problem determination and drive product improvement.
Overall, Honda's doing pretty good. Although, since Acura is Honda, why is it struggling?
