DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. supplanted Toyota as leader of the pack in J.D. Power and Associates' annual initial quality rankings released Wednesday, grabbing more individual awards than any other automaker for the first time since 1998, when it tied for the top spot.
Ford ranked highest in five of 19 segments in this year's survey. That's two better than in 1998 _ the last time a U.S. automaker was on top _ when Ford tied with Toyota and Honda.

Ford needed that kind of news. That company is really hurting.....more so than they or the news is letting on, according to a few of my buddy's that work for Ford.

This may be a good thing for GM too. It may cause them to ramp up their quality control on all their models.
