Cadillac gets high ratings
Everything we see and read about these days concerning General Motors is bankruptcy related or just bad pub. Well, there are good news. I found an article by G. Chambers Williams III of the San Antonio Express-News that has some good things to say about at least one GM brand, the Cadillac. The Cadillac ranked at the top of the list of new-car owners for overall satisfaction. This award was part of the 2009 AutoPacific Vehicle Satisfaction Awards. The even better news is that this is the second year in a row that Cadillac has taken the top spot! These awards are watched closely by the industry to see how satified owners are with their new vehicles. This survey was based on 25,000 consumers who bought or leased a new vehicle in the fourth quarter of 2008. According to George Peterson, the AutoPacific president, “The winners performed well in 48 separate categories that objectively measure the ownership experience.” That’s great news for Cadillac! Specifically, the Cadillac Escaladewas rated the highest for satisfaction among trucks and SUVs. The Hyundai got the 2009 Rising Star award for moving up 11 positions for overall brand satisfaction.
