Last year Saturn was the second highest riser- how did that work out for them? Two years ago, the Chevy Monte Carlo was runner up in sporty car.

Yeah, keep slinging mud instead of just liking what you like. It's doing a lot of good.
Wrong again.
The ratings have nothing to do with advertising impact.
The ratings are determined by consumer survey responses.
You're still spinning.

2008 vs. 2009 is a big deal.
Consumers voted and put the Corolla 16th.
Glad that model is on the way out.
However, the 2009 Camry looks just like the 2008.

And your post didn't have anything to do with 2008 vs. 2009
so don't try to take credit for Grifter's work.

Finally, your absurdity is quite telling.
You contend that these rankings have no correlation with future demand.
The earlier comparison to the Citation is apt.
As long as Toyota delivers a sub-par product that compares unfavorably to the competition,
Toyota's reputation and sales will decline in tandem.
