Lexus First in J.D. Power’s Japan Initial Quality & Sales Satisfaction Studies


Lexus has topped two separate J.D. Power studies in Japan, scoring first in both Initial Quality and Sales Satisfaction.

The 2012 Japan Initial Quality Study is based on responses from new car owners in the first two to nine months after purchase, and Lexus absolutely dominated:

    The Germans are overrated and overpriced.. I looked at the BMW range and they looks pretty boring.. In comparison with Lexus even the almost 8yrs old IS still looks very nice..
