Look at Jaguar, JUst plain pimp. ever since Ford took them over they have been in the top 3 the last like 5 years. SO much for everyones american car theory. 
I don't know correct me if I'm wrong Lincoln, caddy, buick, mecury all came in better than BMW yet, those are american cars, how can american cars be so good. I think the stupid stereotype should go.

This is initial quality folks. This is how many problems someone might experience when the vehicle is new...it says nothing about the quality when the vehicle has 10,000, or for that matter, 100,000 miles on it.

Give that Buick, Ford, Merc 5 years and watch the cookie crumble.
What they should have is a 100,000 mile reliability rating, I think Acura/Honda might do better then.

I think the Porsche was 2nd behind the Lexus in one chart I saw.

Nice of you to contradict yourself:
It can't exactly be known for its reliability if it is a first year car. :P

The X-type and S-type should be realible cars with the except of I'm betting a few small things on the s-type being it is the first year for that car.

JD Power Surveys
You guys need to look at the name of the survey again. This is the Vehicle Dependability study, not IQS. This survey is after 4 years (or 5, I'm not sure) of ownership, so it does show how the cars hold up over the long term - it doesn't show initial quality.
Just FYI.
