Detroit - Honda took the top ranking among mass-market carmakers in a closely watched US quality survey released on Wednesday, while Ford showed strong gains at a crucial point in its turnaround effort.
The survey represented a setback for Toyota, which slipped to sixth place, and provided some vindication for Ford, which is expected to be overtaken by Toyota as the No. 2 carmaker in the United States this year.
The survey, known as the JD Power and Associates Initial Quality Study, put Ford's Lincoln as the third-highest ranked brand, up from No. 12 a year earlier.
Lincoln trailed No. 1 Porsche and Toyota's luxury Lexus, which ranked No. 2.
The rankings are used in marketing campaigns and seen by some as influential in shaping consumer perceptions.
Honda, meanwhile, eclipsed larger rival Toyota to become the highest-ranking mainstream brand, with strong showings for its Civic sedan and CR-V sport-utility vehicle.

McLaren: Motivation considerable, no complacency.
Team McLaren-Mercedes will be out to further extend its lead in the constructors' and drivers' world championships in France next weekend and CEO Martin Whitmarsh isn't taking anything for granted.
Indeed despite the Woking-based outfits form in North America, where the MP4-22 was clearly the class of the field, Whitmarsh is all too aware that their rivals aren't standing still and that both Ferrari and BMW Sauber remain a bit threat.
"Last week we completed one of our most intensive tests of the year so far," he explained. "Our test team worked tirelessly to prove a myriad of components alongside a massive amount of effort being put in across the organisation.
"We have a fight on our hands to maintain, and ideally extend, the lead we have in the Constructors' World Championship and the Drivers' table with both Fernando [Alonso] and Lewis [Hamilton].

A Show-Stopping Accord On A Student Budget
A Skyline GT-R may make a great dream car, but sometimes, JDM fantasies just aren't in the cards for all of us. Your first car may have ended up being an MX-3, G20 or Altima, and there's nothing wrong with that. You want to see your baby through and finally finished with decade-long build, but your pile of disposable cash always seems to be a little lacking. Not a problem, just ask Wayne Chen. This trophy stealing, candy infused 1998 Honda Accord was built on a student's budget with lots of time and plenty of sponsors.
Chen received this coupe eight years ago as a high school graduation present from his parents. Not quite a tire-shredding Corvette killer, it was a dependable, efficient daily driver. It wasn't until Chen attended his first Import Showoff event in 1998 that his passion was sparked.

Spied: BMW's upmarket 1-series twins
We've got another three months before BMW finally launches the 1-series coup茅 at the Frankfurt motor show in September. These spy shots are the clearest yet of the two-door notchback, designed to expand the appeal of the 1-series range when it launches in the USA next year.
The disguise around the rear is hiding 3-series coupe-style lights, and under the covers the bootlid is curved, not flat. At the front there are M3-style air intakes in the bumper and heavily flared wheelarches.
What about an M1?
Speculation has been rife that BMW is working on an M-Division version of the 1-series coupe, and Autocar's sources recently confirmed that a proper, M-badged 1-series is in the pipeline for not-long-after the standard car's launch.
The engine it'll run is still unknown.

Rossi chases record points haul in Britain
LONDON: Valentino Rossi returns to a favourite circuit this weekend for a British Grand Prix that should crown him the all-time leading points scorer in motorcycling's top class.
The Italian needs just nine points to overtake Mick Doohan's haul of 2,298 but he will want the full 25 at Donington Park on Sunday to reel in Casey Stoner, the youngster who could be Australia's next champion.
Ducati's Stoner has a 14-point lead after seven rounds, the 21-year-old seizing his fourth win of the MotoGP season at the last race in Barcelona after holding off a charging Rossi to the chequered flag in a thrilling battle.
The Australian has now won more races in a single season for Ducati than any other rider.
Honda's Dani Pedrosa, dominant at Donington last year from pole position, also promises to be a threat as the little Spaniard seeks to end a 15-race winless streak dating back to that triumph.
Pedrosa is third in the overall standings but now 42 points behind Stoner.
聯Donington is always like my second home race,聰 seven-time world champion Rossi, who has a home in London, said in a Yamaha team preview.
聯It's one of my favourite racetracks in the world and I've had some fantastic victories there in the past, including my first ever 500cc win back in 2000.
聯Even though it hasn't been one of his best tracks in the past, I am expecting Casey to be strong again and Dani won last year so we can expect him to be fighting too,聰 added the charismatic Italian.
Rossi, who broke Doohan's record for career podiums at the last race with his 96th appearance in the top three, has won seven times at Donington in all categories.
With many riders expecting a wet weekend at the East Midlands circuit, Australian Chris Vermeulen could also have a good chance of becoming Suzuki's first winner at Donington since Kevin Schwantz in 1994.
Vermeulen, who qualified second at Donington last year, took his first win in France in May when the heavens opened.
In the 250cc category, champion Jorge Lorenzo of Spain is the man to beat with a 36-point lead over Italian Andrea Dovizioso after five wins.
Hungarian Gabor Talmacsi leads the 125cc standings for Aprilia, 13 clear of Spaniard Hector Faubel.
Sunday's race is the first of three in a row in northern Europe, with the Dutch round the following Saturday and then Germany two weeks later.

Close vote likely on fuel economy proposal
WASHINGTON -- The Senate's No. 2 Democrat said today that a coming vote on a proposal to soften legislation calling for aggressive increases in fuel economy mandates would be "very close" and could come down to the level of Republican support.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who opposes the compromise bill, said between seven and nine Democrats were expected to support the measure, including the bill's four Democratic sponsors: Mark Pryor, D-Ark., Carl Levin, D-Mich., Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. Republicans Kit Bond of Missouri and George Voinovich of Ohio also support the compromise.
Durbin, the majority whip, said "rumors abound" about a compromise between the Pryor-Bond-Levin bill and the Senate energy bill, which calls for a more dramatic increase in Corporate Average Fuel Economy, or CAFE, mandates.

New media agencies across the U.S. must be rubbing their hands in glee. In a speech at the recent AAAA media conference Mich Matthews, senior vice president of Microsoft's central marketing group, announced that, "We're actually pretty confident that by 2010, the majority of our media mix will shift to digital."According to Advertising Age Microsoft spent $945 million in marketing dollars in 2005 alone. That is a huge amount of money to be pulled from traditional TV and print channels.M. Mathews has heralded in a new marketing epoch they are calling 鈥淭he Era of Customer Participation" where broadcasting to a passive audience is being substituted for customer interaction.TV and print channels aren't, however, being completely ruled out and Matthews insists that they will be retained for tactical roles.

Pogs, Trolls, Giga pets, Skip-it, Pokemon
The days of Giga Pets are long gone, and Pogs may not be available in stores, but most children of the '90s can remember the good ole days when the toys they played with helped them be more creative.
According to students, the toys and games of today are quite different from what they grew up with. Ryan Shaw, a junior in business, said one of his favorite childhood games that isn't played much anymore is "butt ball," a game in which the players throw a ball against a wall and catching it until someone misses a catch. Then the rest get to throw the ball at the backside of the person who missed.
Emilie Thompson, a parks and recreation junior, said some of her favorites were night games. These included classics like hide-n-seek, kick-the-can and flashlight tag. Both Shaw and Thompson agree that many of these games they used to play are becoming extinct.

Today in San Luis Obispo California it is around 70 degrees, and the sun is shining. However, a group of students from Cal Poly have forsaken their homeland to visit a chilly South Wales. They will find that we know how to keep a very warm welcome in the hillsides, and you can do your bit to warm up the welcome by coming to Sardis Road on Friday evening to watch them play rugby against our Youth XV.
Cal Poly is a nationally ranked comprehensive public university, with an emphasis on a "learn by doing" educational experience. This is very much like our own University of Glamorgan (the former Polytechnic of Wales) here in Pontypridd, and in terms of student numbers the two institutions are of a similar size. The similarity doesn't end there. Cal Poly is nestled in the foothills of San Luis Obispo, just minutes up the El Camino Real highway from California's Central Coast beaches.

new star investing
This year Petrofac Resources will submit plans for the West Don and Don Southwest oil fields in the North Sea, decide whether reserves at the Cendor field offshore Malaysia warrant a second development phase, and bring onstream the Chergui field offshore Tunisia.
There would be nothing unusual in this if it were not for the fact that Petrofac is primarily an oil industry engineering and services group. Its Resources division was created in 1998 to take equity stakes in selected development projects, the rationale being that it would provide long-term cashflow to a 鈥渓umpy" core business and leverage to win more and bigger engineering jobs.

Broker tips: Unilever, Tesco, Barclays, William Hill,
LONDON (SHARECAST) - Anglo-Dutch consumer goods giant Unilever continued its rally after Citigroup upgraded the shares to buy from hold following Thursdays first quarter results. The broker also raised its price target to 25.5 from 21.3 as maker of Knorr soup and Lux soap posted a pre-tax profit of 1.33bn for the period, up from 1.31bn the previous year as it improved operating margins. Analysts had expected profits of between 1.137bn and 1.245bn. Tesco marched higher Friday as ABN Amro lifted the UK supermarket to buy from neutral and upped its price target to 602p. The broker reckons Tescos intention to do more property deals, unlocking value from freehold assets, was justification enough for the upgrade. Last month the firm reported record full year profits and announced plans to return 3bn to investors from the sale of property assets.
