<em>Consumer Reports</em> has surveyed 380,000 subscribers to rank the most satisfied new car owners and a newcomer came in and dethroned the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/prius">Toyota Prius</a>. An amazing 92 percent of V8-powered <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/challenger">Dodge Challenger</a> owners said that they would definitely buy another Mopar pony car if they had the chance to do it all over again. That's a big-time win for Chrysler, as the Pentastar has been getting dinged badly in recent <em>CR</em> studies. Hybrids have been very popular in the satisfaction survey over the past few years, but the perennial champ Prius wasn't even the number one battery-assisted model. That honor goes to the new<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/fusion"> Ford Fusion</a> Hybrid, which came in second overall with a 91 percent rating. The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/corvette">Chevrolet Corvette</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/model/911">Porsche 911</a> and Prius round out the top five. To make the top of the satisfaction list at least 80 percent of customers need to say that they would definitely buy the same vehicle again.<br />
<br />
Detroit automakers substantially improved their standing in the annual survey versus last year, as nine percent of overall Motown models were at the top of the list. That's still down substantially against the 12 percent Asian automakers and 23 percent of European automakers scored in the top tier. While <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/gm/">GM</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> each found success at the top, each scoring a hit in the top five, two of the three automakers also filled out the entire bottom ten. Owners of the four cylinder Chrysler Sebring were the least satisfied among all surveyed. In all, GM had seven of the bottom ten while Chrysler had three unlovable losers.
