Buick and Cadillac earn high marks in latest J.D. Powers survey
I've been pretty vocal about GM's need to pursue quality. Although J.D. Powers 3yr quality does not reflect long term quality in my book, it is a step in the right direction:

that's not their results for initial quality, that is their 3 year dependability survey.
Here is the chart from autoblog:

Here's more info I found on the J.D. Powers site regarding the survey. What I find interesting is that this survey is only based on the preceding 12 months of someone who has owned the car for 3 years. It is not based on 36 months of ownership. In other words, any issues which may have been fixed during the first 2 years of ownership, would not count towards this dependability survey.
My idea of a 3 year reliability survey would include the statistics for all 3 years. I find the above chart published by J.D.Powers to be a bit mis-leading. Quote:
