The Toyota Tundra full-size pickup truck, Sienna minivan, Avalon large sedan and Corolla compact sedan all ranked highest in their respective segments in the J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study 2 (IQS2) released May 17. The annual study measures vehicle owners' reported problems during the first three months of ownership. "To rank highest across so many categories: truck, van and cars, is very gratifying as it confirms our commitment to quality across our entire model lineup," said Don Esmond, Toyota Division senior vice president and general manager. "The results are a tribute to our North American manufacturing facilities, which once again captured the top two spots in the J.D. Power Plant Quality Awards as well." All four of the Toyota segment leaders are built at Toyota North American manufacturing facilities, two of which ranked first and second in the J.D. Power and Associates North American Plant Quality Awards May 17. Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada, Inc. (TMMC), located in Cambridge, Ont., builds the Corolla and is the recipient of the 2001 Gold Plant Quality Award. TMMC also builds the Camry Solara sport coupe and convertible. Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, located in Georgetown and recipient of the Silver Plant Quality Award, produces both the Sienna and Avalon, as well as the Camry. Tundra earned top honors in initial quality in the full-size pickup truck segment and is built exclusively in the U.S. at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Indiana, in Princeton. Three Lexus Division vehicles also earned top spots in IQS2, including the LS430 luxury sedan which was ranked the best premium luxury car and had the fewest problems of any vehicle in the study. The Toyota and Lexus divisions combined give Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. Inc., seven out of the 14 IQS2 segment awards.
