<strong> <br /></strong>Porsche grabs the top spot for the fifth year in a row in the <a href="http://www.jdpower.com/">J.D. Power and Associates</a> 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) Study. For this year's study, the team at JDPA gathered information from more than 80,900 purchasers and lessees of new 2009 model-year cars and questioned them on more than 90 vehicle attributes. Their studies examined "how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive," based on those evaluations.<br /><br />While the APEAL nameplate ranking is significant (Porsche, Jaguar, and Cadillac round out the top-three), the segment winners offer more insight into what today's buyers are seeking. This year, it appears to be the newly launched models including the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/pics-and-details-aplenty-2009-volkswagen-passat-cc/">Volkswagen CC</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/20/first-drive-2009-nissan-maxima/">Nissan Maxima</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/12/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-dodge-challenger-se/">Dodge Challenger</a>, and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/12/first-drive-2009-ford-flex-limited-awd/">Ford Flex</a>... each took top honors in their respective category. This year's biggest upset comes in the "Midsize Premium Car" segment as the all-new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/13/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-hyundai-genesis-sedan/">Hyundai Genesis</a> (sedan) knocks the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/bmw-rolls-out-5-millionth-5-series/">BMW 5 Series</a> from the podium.

Have you all seen the 2010 Hyundai Sonata ???

I saw one yesterday and thought it was a German car! I was shocked to see the Hyundai name badge!!! They've come a long way from the Hyundai Excel days!


10 year/ 100k mile warranty heck, I wouldn't mind

 

[sdsubzero4]

I've seen it. Yes, they have come along way since the mid 80's. And this one have some punch to it, too.

 

[spdpilot]

how wrong is that???

A Buick is rated higher then Ford??? Other then a couple special models, I don't even think Buick made a Performance car.

The survey just lost all of it's credibility with me right there.

JD Powers seems to enjoy a LOT of power these days.... Next they will put servey out about how much the new GM owned by the Government makes it a more popular brand.

 

[sdsubzero4]

Maybe JD Power is run by the government. Hmmmm.....LOL!
