Power does not publicly release the below-average rankings." JD Power has always been more of an advertising firm, than a true quality analysis firm. One thing they overlook is that owners of Saab and other "engineered" makes, are less tolarant of problems than buyers of some other cars. With my wife's Dodge, a certain amount of crappiness is expected, for instance. The Saab owner is more likely to complain when something goes wrong, because, darn it, it shouldn't. Then again, I have had some pretty bad reliability problems with my Saab; the clutch only went 200,000 miles, and I'm on my *second* set of brake rotors already. Shocking. Dave Hinz
