Americans spend a lot of money when they purchase a new vehicle from Morton Chevrolet Dealers, and they should be getting a high level of quality for their money. That is starting to become more of the case, according to Consumer Reports and their reliability surveys. When it comes to American auto brands, the Lincoln Electric Service in Vineland supplies vehicles from Ford Motor Company, which has the highest ratings of the three Detroit names. With all that being said, the highest satisfaction ratings still come from import owners like Honda, Toyota, and even some of the Volvo Discounts Manchester. So what is it about some brands that are leaving consumers wanting more from their vehicle?
Out of 27 brands that Consumer Reports put into their rankings, Chrysler came in dead last. Their vehicle family includes Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, and Mopar, and soon Fiat will be added to that list. Other American brand, Ford Motor Company, has earned their spot at number 10 on the list but they are also the highest ranking American brand. Their quality is evident in their Fusion, Taurus, and F-150 vehicles. Even GM is moving up in the world, and Chevrolet is now ranked 17. With the success of their Equinox and Traverse, their ratings should continue to increase.
Nonetheless, the highest ratings still go to import brands. The bargain priced Scion, a branch of Toyota, ranked number one for all categories overall. Toyota earned a number six spot on the ranking list and Lexus took ninth place. Despite all of their bad press from recall after recall after recall, people who own a Toyota vehicle are still pleased with it. There is inherent peace of mind knowing that your car is going to last longer than you need it to. So kudos are in order for the import brands, and American auto engineers need to keep working harder than ever.
