Re: JD Powers
I had seen the ratings and sent them an email voicing my concern over their "in"accuracies. They responded with an email that claimed "...the information in their ratings is not directly from JD Power themselves. Rather, they are scores compiled from respondents."
A quick poll, how many of you were asked your opinion of the Crossfire by a representative of JD Power? Like mentioned previously, I put them in the same category of Consumer Reports, that wonderful magazine that once compared vacuum cleaners by how much Christmas tinsel they could pick up. I work in the computer industry, and they rarely come up with the REAL best buys. One time they rated the Toyota Matrix excellent on everything and gave fair to poor marks for the Pontiac Vibe...same car, with the same engines, built on the same assembly line!!!
I have been buying cars for nearly 40 years and have NEVER been asked my opinion once!
I just don't put a lot of stock in a company who "sells" their awards.
