new ones but not old ones...
Well Porsche toped quality for the last few years but what about our 996 model range? I'm sure we were bottom of the bucket as far as materials used in the beginning 996 line.

I believe JD Power practically sells their awards to every manufacturer.
To increase their inventory, there are so many different qualifications to multiply a given award. So you will have "Highest ranking in Initial Quality Survey (for USDM 4-door hatchback automobiles assembled in Mexico with full-sized spare tire, etc. etc.)" and about 58 more of those.
Hello everyone. Joining the bandwagon with fellow newbie Zelpdsm.
I have an '04 C4S coupe with a loud button. Will figure out best way to post pics soon.

OK, I get two Newbies with one stone!
It is customary for Newbies to introduce themselves, tell us a little about their car and, most importantly, post pics of their car. So consider this your "Newbie Initiation!"
Come on, Newbies, post the @#$%^&* pics!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot..... Welcome to Rennlist!
