Scion at Bottom of Survey?
 
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/toyota...150343885.html

Your thoughts, gentlemen?

The Bottom Ten
The Consumer Reports Survey showed an interesting collection of car brands at the bottom of its list. Fiat is just starting to re-establish itself in the U.S., while Jeep has been a well-known brand for years.

The fact that Volvo and Ford beat out Porche Mazda AND MY SCION!?
Must be fake.

Did the survey only hit their subscribers? No offense to anyone but I thought Consumer Reports was only for those more advanced in years than the typical Scion driver? Then again, the majority of xA and xB drivers I see around here are suprisingly gray hairs...

Ram? Wouldn't that be a Dodge? Or is there a car manufacturer brand named Ram?

I think RAM is now technically its own division just like SRT and the Viper.

Here it is from Autoblog since they never lie about anything ever HAHA: http://www.autoblog.com/2009/09/24/r...its-own-brand/

Learn something new everyday!

I just went to the Dodge website and sure enough, the Ram trucks aren't listed, they have their own separate website.

This is a brand recognition survey, you be surprised as to how many people don't know what a Scion is. Why do you think Toyota USA decided to sell the 86 as a Scion?

It annoyed me that Dodge did that, but I can guess how it benefits them and their products.

LOL. I'm glad my FR-S was made by Subaru!

Meh it's just a brand perception survey. It doesn't surprise me that the general population doesn't perceive Scion in a good light. Hell, I didn't think of Scion in a good light until I bought the FR-S, and outside of this car, I don't think there's another Scion model that appeals to me.
