"Why are the cars rated #1 by JD Powers rarely the sales leaders in their categories? I guess people just didn't see that darn survey...too bad for them, the fools."


Lexus, Toyota, Porsche are not sales leaders in their catagories?

Hmmm, you may want to reconsider that statement.

Re: Your entire post above, you continue to evade the questions I asked you earlier. Instead, you simply allude to how one MIGHT shave the edges of rigorous research.

To me, JD Powers conducts attitude surveys with customers based on their experiences with their cars. I don't think Powers misrepresents this fact at all.

Nor do I think the car makers misrepresent what the Powers data is. If I finished up leading a category, you can bet I would advertise that fact.

Consumer reports does the exact same thing as Powers. They ask the customers what service was required on their cars and report that data in black and red dots. How is this MORE SCIENTIFIC than Powers?

I guess I fail to see the difference.

Last question, why did you underline FOR PROFIT in your post.

Does being for profit make them suspect in your view?
