Don't forget about Lexus!
"Lexus nameplate finished second overall with 94 problems per 100 (PP100), which was nearly identical to its 2006 study results and significantly higher than the Premium nameplate average. The Lexus RX 350/400h was the Midsize Premium Multi-Activity Vehicle (MAV) segment leader with 89 PP100. The Lexus LS 460, Lexus GS 350/430/450h, Lexus SC 430, and Lexus GX 470 also finished in the top three in their segments."

Even though I'm no believer in JD Power, I think this is encouraging. Hopefully... it indicates some type of effort on Toyota's part to improve the overall quality of their vehicles, something which has been plauging every manufacturer in their quest to cut costs.
Most notably, rattles and squeaks don't seem to just affect Toyotas/Scion/Lexi .

10 year warranty for new and the upcoming plans to implement 10 year renewed warranty for certified used cars... It won't be long before we see these cars hold their value just as well as honda and toyota do now, maybe even better.
