J D Power 2006 vehicle dependability survey:

http://www.jdpower.com/studies_jdpow...p?StudyID=1160

It rates reliability over 3 years, meaning this rates 2003 model vehicles.
Industry average is 227 probs per 100. Hyundai is 253, well below average.
Hyundai has only one car in the top 3 rankings, in the subcompact category.
That's because in 2003, there are ONLY 3 subcompacts on the market.

So despite Hyundai's good showings of some models in the JD Power initial
quality surveys (2003 Sonata was 2nd in its class) and the Consumer Reports
surveys, the company as a whole does lousy here. Why? Discuss.
