Not many US cars in the list . . . I wonder why?

I'll bet a much greater % of people who said they like the Mustang actually own one, than the % of people who like the Vette. Did that make sense?

They probably could have saved their time asking about the sporty car, the Mustang was a forgone conclusion.

I dunno: 6 American, 9 Japanese, 2 Korean, 2 German, 1 English. Not too bad a showing in a global market that we have these days.

The Ridgeline as best mid sized truck? How many did they sell...50,000 last year? They are IMHO ugly, and expensive. Only a true Honda die hard would like it...so they are quaranteed to be impressed...and give it univeral high marks.

you are forgetting there is no such thing as a honda die hard.. import buyers will get tired of their civic and jump to a corolla then a altima..etc

I'm a fan of Honda's for what they are and have owned a few, and currently have a Pilot. But I too have to wonder when the public is going to catch on to what they've done with that monstrosity.

They advertise that thing as a "Powerful" Truck.....

Umm... it's the same drivetrain as my Pilot and an Odyssey, hardly something that I'd call powerful, oh but it's a lot heavier. 6,050 lbs !!! How do they make it feel more powerful :scratch: Gears! Rear axle ratio: 4:53

My wife is a dedicated Honda person and she laughs at the Ridgeline. She much prefers our Chevy 2500 HD 4X4 with a 454 big block. That's her opinion of a "real" truck.

You know the JDPower surveys are total bunk when the Honda Ridgeline wins best midsize pickup. It isn't even a real pickup!
