TOYOTA MOTOR showed strong gains in the annual J.D. Power and Associates initial quality survey, capturing top honors in six of the 14 vehicle categories. However, the Lexus brand was knocked from its top spot by Ford Motor Co.'s (F - news) Jaguar unit, which had the fewest number of defects per 100 vehicles of any nameplate, with 110. GENERAL MOTORS, meantime, was the only automaker to dominate an entire segment, winning the top three spots of the premium mid-size car category with the Chevrolet Lumina, Buick LeSabre and Buick Century.

GENERAL MOTORS said that it has raised its 2Q North American production estimate by 25,000 vehicles due to strong demand, especially for pickup trucks and midsize cars. The world's largest automaker said it now expects to build 1.537 million cars and trucks between April and June, 365,000 more vehicles than, or a 31% hike from, the strike-impacted 2Q last year. "We know how hot the truck market is, and we're responding to that," said GM North America President Ron Zarrella. (Reuters 03:36 PM ET 05/06/99) For the full text story, see infobeat.com
