Ford Motor reliability improves

DETROIT — Most Ford Motor Co. vehicles now show average or better reliability, Consumer Reports' 2008 car reliability survey said, although Japanese carmakers still lead in the study's rankings. "Ford's three nameplates — Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury — lead the domestic automakers and continue to pull away from the rest of Detroit," according to the report issued last week.

The survey ranked Scion, Acura, Honda and Toyota highest on its list of brands predicted to produce reliable models in 2009. Kia showed the greatest improvement in the survey, finishing 10th and gaining 12 places on the list of 34 brands compared with last year. Corporate sibling Hyundai moved up seven spots to finish eighth in the rankings.
