Ummm ... I'm not sure whether you are agreeing with me or disagreeing...
Yes, predicted reliability is
derived from their initial quality studies and historical data. Nevertheless they are different categories in the JD Power report -- obviously since the Z got a 4 for initial quality and a 3 for predicted reliability.
My point in my earlier post was about how they are determining this because the 370 hasn't been around for very long. I posted to your post because your post seemed to be all abut the initial quality ratings which do not use historical data and, as I agreed with you, are mostly about the customer's subjective impression of the quality of their vehicle.
I think that, other than our choice of words, we are in irreconcilable violent agreement
