JD Power has released the results of their annual Initial Quality Study, and the results have fallen largely in line with the auto industry headlines as of late.

Ford was the big winner, breaking the top five in initial quality for the first time, and earning top marks in class for its Mustang, Taurus, and Focus models. Ford was the only of Detroit’s Big Three Automakers not to accept government bailout money and has since turned its business around.

In addition, this year’s study marks the first time that domestic brands collectively performed better than imports. That wasn’t good news for Toyota, who, in the wake of much-publicized recalls, fell from 6th to 21st in the rankings.

JD Power surveys hundreds of thousands of owners of new vehicles for their study, which measures how a car performs in its first few months of ownership. The study is considered by many experts to be indicative of the long-term quality of a vehicle, which could have effects on how these cars are eventually perceived on the used market.

And while the new Toyotas may be facing trouble, those who want to save off the cost of a new vehicle can still find reliable used Toyotas from pre-owned dealers.
