Jaguar Tops the Chart In Yet Another Quality Survey

Is Jaguar getting a bum wrap in the surveys? Autospies has uncovered yet another survey in which Jaguar out places even the highly respected brand such as Mercedes and BMW.

German motoring magazine Auto Zeitung has published its 2006 Quality Report and Jaguar has come out on top over strong competition from European and Japanese luxury car makers. More than 30,000 readers took part in the survey where they rated 33 brands overall for reliability, product quality and service.

Jaguar’s first place position in a survey conducted at the heart of leading luxury car makers is testament to the ongoing dedication to quality in both the product and the service network. The same Auto Zeitung survey on quality ranked Jaguar in 18th place in 2004 and in 5th place in 2005.

Heinrich Lingner from Auto Zeitung said: “It comes as a big surprise that a European brand has beaten the Japanese who have come first for several years running. Our readers voted just four European brands into the top ten, the other three were Porsche, Volvo and BMW.” Jaguar recently launched the all-aluminium XKR, the supercharged version of the new XK that went on sale in March earlier this year.

You're trying to PROVOKE me. Thankfully, I am an EDUCATED person and won't react. ;)

You weren't trying to PROVOKE him and all other Audi fans with your unecessary tone?
==========================================

I don't think Germannut can be provoked. He doesn't really respond to such things. He actually thinks we're serious and goes "Yes, as BMW530i said, Audi interiors..."

How about you all grow up and just limit your comments to cars...you all should be ashamed of yourselves.

Even Jaguar gets some good news on occasion- even if from some obscure German Mag.

Why??

Thank you

Atually probably no more subjective than JD Power in the US. The questions probably are a bit different to suite the demographics and that is going to account for the higher score of Jaguar.

Congrats to Jaguar. JDPower also backs up their climb up the quality charts.

But this is the question:

Are Jags RELIABLE? Because if they are, it's an XJ8 for us, no question.

It used to be that you planned on buying a Jag with > 50K miles, so all the problems were fixed. Now the reverse is true. High initial quality, then it fals apart later. My son's S-Type, wiht 35K miles, had failures in the thermostat, window regulator and brakes in one week. This is not Toyota-surpassing quality!
