Consumer Reports magazine has made it very clear that Ford has excellent reputation among customers while Chrysler needs to get back on its feet and fight for the shoppers’ trust all over.
The research was done under “buy American” motto. The results have come rather positive: 81% consumers are ready to shop for a vehicle made by the native manufacturers and Ford is the leader in this group.

Chrysler is down this year because of the trials it had to go through. Bankruptcy and merge with Fiat did not benefit the company and it is obvious that Italian automaker is more concerned about its expansion to American market than about the Chrysler’s restructuring.
GM is in the middle between the two. Many consumers would consider a GM vehicle for a purchase, but the total number did not change significantly comparing to previous years.
The 2010 Ford Mustang won the new test of sporty cars and coupes held by Consumer Reports. It showed to be better than Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger. The Mustang was qualified as “an even more balanced and satisfying driver's car than ever before.”
Racing cars have their specific requirements and manufacturers have to follow them if they want to build an auto that qualifies for the competition. Indy Racing League has announced the formula for the next-generation racing cars on February 4.
