Maserati's first ever commercial

Jd power initial quality isn't a good metric. I would hope that any car holds up well at first. It's 100k later that I'm concerned about. Since you seem dead set on defending the euro cars, tell me this- would you own a German car out of warranty to 100k miles?

"J.D. Power has released the results of its latest Initial Quality Study (IQS), the company's industry benchmark study that measures new-vehicle quality after the first 90 days of ownership. A key finding of this year's study is that nearly two-thirds of the problems experienced in the first 90 days of ownership are related to the vehicle's design, as opposed to components that malfunction. For example, the component may be working as designed, but owners deem it a problem because it may be difficult to understand or operate"

See? The way they measure quality has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. If you were dead set on a JD Power study, you should have referenced this- http://autos.jdpower.com/ratings/dependability.htm

Oh, except there is only one Euro car on the list.
