OREANDA-NEWS.  February 16, 2012. Eight Lexus, Toyota, and Scion models captured segment awards in the 2012 J.D. Power and Associates Vehicle Dependability Study, a performance equal to all other vehicle brands combined and more than twice as many as the runner-up nameplate.


The study also found:

Lexus is the number one nameplate improving by 23 fewer problems/100;
Toyota is the highest ranked non-premium nameplate and tied for third place overall, improving by 18 fewer problems/100; and Scion achieves its highest ever position at fifth place, jumping up 17 positions and improving by 55 fewer problems/100.

“We are extremely pleased that not only did we win awards in eight of the 14 model segments, but that in two segments we finished one-two and made the podium in 12 segments overall”, said Jim Lentz, President and Chief Operating Officer Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
