Cadillac tops Lexus in satisfaction survey

Cadillac has trumped Lexus as the highest regarded luxury brand, according to a owner satisfaction study by research firm AutoPacific. Last year, Lexus narrowly beat Cadillac for the number one spot. Cadillac had the top rated entry Luxury Car with its CTS and solid performances by the rest of its lineup, the firm said. The top rated Mainstream Brand is Honda. The Honda Ridgeline and Odyssey also got top honors in their respective categories.

In rating major segments, Sport Utility Vehicle owners rate their vehicles more satisfying than do Car, Pickup or Minivan owners. This finding goes contrary to popular myth that SUVs are fading in popularity and SUV owners are dissatisfied with their vehicles.

AutoPacific previously announced individual vehicle winners. The vehicle registering highest overall satisfaction in 2006 is the Lincoln Navigator Luxury SUV winning top vehicle, top truck and top Luxury SUV honors. The highest rated car is the new-for-2006 Hyundai flagship — Hyundai Azera.

AutoPacific’s VSA establishes numerical satisfaction ratings for virtually every car and light truck in the United States. Owner satisfaction is calculated across 45 specific areas related to a vehicle’s operation, comfort, safety and the overall purchase/lease experience.

Still cant believe this...

The new Escalade must have not been in this report.

We'll just have to wait for that honor next year. The only reason the Navi ever got anything over the 'Slade is because it was practically brand new compared to the previous generation Escalade.

I say it now and I say it again............everyone needs to be very afraid of what Hyundai is doing

Well that's pretty exciting news. Shows that when GM wants to they can build what people want. And Cadillac competes in a very picky class. Imagine how well they'll be received once they update the interiors of their already well-liked cars! Whohoo!

**mgescuro** · 05-31-2006, 11:32 AM

Good news to be sure!!!!

racy · 05-31-2006, 11:46 AM

Bottom line is Lincoln Navi won the award. No need to take cheap shots. Customer satisfaction is not measured by how brand new a vehicle is. I am sure there is some correllation but being new doesn't gaurantee satisfaction.

The report probably looked at 2006 models. Remember the escalade is an early 2007 model.
