JD Power announces yet another list of cars

It's tough keeping up with J.D. Power and Associates and all their rankings, announcements etc. Their latest list is a Performance, Execution and Layout Study. Surprisingly I agree with most of the vehicles on the list. I'm not quite sure on how the Cadillac DeVille makes the list but at least the CTS is on there. This is also one of the few times I've seen any kind of list like this that doesn't feature a Honda model (OK there's one Acura but you know what I mean). Click below to see the full list.
