public opinion is rather fickled thing.

One day you're on top of the hill --- the next day you're knee deep in
a cesspool.


A disclaimer
=========
Vehicles are not purchase just due to one factor.
There are many factors that go into a purchase decision
because motorized vehicles are complex machines.

details
======
Quality is fuzzy word that I mainly associated with manufacturing
precision.
However, I know that the decision to purchase and own a vehichle is
based on more than quality - other factors like cost, design and
performance are
important too. Nothing handles on a curvy highway like a Porsche
911.
No current hybrid or conventional production car gets better gas
mileage than the 2010 Prius. Certain vehicles like the Honda Element
SUV have unique functionals Other vehicles depend on unique
designs like the VW bug and the BMW mini-cooper. Also
because motorized vehicles require regular maintance -
access to affordable, dependable, and quality service is
also an important factor in a motorized vehicle purchase.


conclusion
=========
Marketing and surveys are at best a fuzzy indicator
but to borrow
an old Toyota TV commerical tagline...
OOOh what a feeling!!!! :-)
