J.D. Powers, Consumer Reports, Popular Mechanics, Gelco Leasing,
dealers that sell both Japanese, American, and Chrysler brands, and
even the internal reports of Ford and GM.

Irrelevant (quality != quantity) and misleading ( GM + Ford is bigger
than Toyota, but Toyota + Ford is bigger than GM, but so what?). GM is
also #1 in China, but again, so what? For a business with such large
economies of scale as the car industry, worldwide sales matter more,
and here GM will soon be overtaken, unless it merges with
Renault/Nissan. GM and Ford have got to bring out new best-in-class
vehicles, and they haven't been doing that much, GM perhaps not at
all.. Rick Wagoner and Bill Ford need to understand, "It's the
vehicles, stupid."
