Hi,
You are aware that JD Powers does not conduct Independent Surveys? They are contracted by Auto Companies to produce surveys strictly for Marketing purposes. I am a Founder of an Internet Marketing Firm, I know full well who JD Powers is and what they do.
Almost EVERY car has been ranked #1 by JD Powers at one time or another. They will ask the questions in such a way so as to elicit a certain response or manipulate the data until their Client is #1 so that the Client can use the survey results for Advertising purposes.
An extreme example might be: "Which would you rather own, a McLaren F1 (in which case we snip off your left testicle) or a Kia Amanti?
Result: People Choose the Kia Amanti over McLaren F1 by more than 10 to 1!"
Get it????
Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
PS I
might actually give my left nut to own an F1...
