Americans love their vehicles. What is it about these vehicles that they really love? More importantly, which cars and trucks do Americans love the most?

The answers to these questions and more can be found in a survey of more than 100,000 car and light-truck owners during their first 90 days of ownership, conducted by automotive research company J.D. Power and Associates of Westlake Village, Calif.

Measuring owner's delight with the design, content, layout and performance of their new vehicles, Power's 2004 APEAL (Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout) study showed great improvement among domestic brands.

The 2004 study included 43 new or redesigned models..............In "The 18 APEAL vehicle category winners for 2004 are:"
The winner for the catagory, Full-Size Car is.... Mercury Marauder! :2thumbs: :banana2: :beer: :banana2: :woohoo: :rock:

Borrowing the words of Inspector Clouseau, "I Knew That!" :D :D

Sorry everyone. This appears to be old news. It was even listed earlier today.:corner:



Wow....good press. This was posted on MSN.com this evening. How often does this happen? The source was JD Powers, so this was based upon how much we love our cars...not the magazines.

Scroll down and you'll see us listed under "Full-Size Car".
