Consumers View Toyota and Ford Most Favorably

The most recent automotive Brand Report Card released by Consumer Reports has some good news for two of America's Big Three automakers as both Ford and Chevy mad it into the top five, along with Toyota, Honda, and Volvo (a part of Ford Motor Company). The Report Card had Toyo ranked first, followed by Ford, then Honda, Volvo, and Chevrolet, with the listing based on survey questions about design and styling, quality, safety, performance, value, and innovation, with respondents saying that safety and quality were the most important features they were looking for in a vehicle.



Okay, so I am sorry about the Moonbase Alpha crack I made about Ford's Airstream concept vehicle. This is a truly green vehicle that is battery powered and can be recharged using its hydrogen fuel cell, or you can plug it in! AutoblogGreen has a nice overview of the Airstream here, and MSNBC takes a look at this touring vehicle of the future too. (To be honest, I still think Ford's Airstream concept looks like it should have the NASA logo on the side!)
