For years, import cars have held an advantage over domestic automobiles according to data collected by J.D. Power and Associates, which generates a widely respected report on initial quality. The 2011 data showed a general decrease in quality due primarily to voice-activated electronic systems that didn’t work as well as advertised. The data are contained in the file PP100. Initial quality is measured by the number of problems per 100 vehicles (PP100).
