Lexus Tops J.D. Power's Apeal study ...
 
The CNN report


Toyota's Lexus brand topped the nameplate ranking with 909 points. Porsche's 903 made it second on that list. (Since Porsche doesn't make any other brands, its corporate and nameplate score were identical.) The BMW brand was third with 901 points. The Lexus LS 430 was the highest-rated premium luxury car, beating the Mercedes SL-Class and BMW 7-series. The 2004 Lexus RX330 topped the list of luxury SUVs, followed by the Lexus GX 470 and Land Rover Range Rover. Among mid-level luxury cars, the Lexus GS 300/GS 430 was tops, followed by the Jaguar S-type and Mercedes-Benz E-class.

The latest Consumer Report also tested LS430 against Benz, Audi, BMW and Jag and they picked the LS as the top choice.

Is there a reason J.D. Power doesn't know how to spell "appeal"? Is "APEAL" actualy an acronym for something, and if so, what was the survey REALLY measuring?

From the actual press release:, APEAL = Automotive Performance, Execution & Layout. :)

Does that mean they are refering to Lexus and Toyota as a whole? I am sure that it does....

I'm pleasantly surprised that the GS is on the list, as it's at the end of its life cycle.
Go Lexus!!:)
