The auto industry experienced a seismic shift this month when J.D. Power announced that for the first time in 27 years a non-premium brand ranked highest in its annual Initial Quality Study. When the dust settled, the nameplate that managed to unseat the reigning IQS champion for three years running, and take the top spot was upstart Kia Motors. The study, now in its 30th year, examines problems experienced by vehicle owners during the first 90 days of ownership, and marks a massive win for Kia, a brand that has rapidly transformed into a recognized leader in design, technology and craftsmanship.
