Bloomberg survey says Americans are turning away from Toyota, heading over to Ford!
More good news for the Dearborn, Michigan based Ford Motor Company. According to a Bloomberg survey 36% of Americans have a negative view of Toyota, and only 49% have a favorable view of them. While this news wouldn’t normally be that big of a deal, companies go through good times and bad no matter who they are, the big story here is Ford. A staggering 77% of Americans have a favorable opinion of FoMoCo, which is 7% better than Honda!
As Autoblog points out, there are several reasons why the survey results most likely came out in this way. First, Ford did not take government assistance, nor did they file for bankruptcy like General Motors or Chrysler. Second, Ford is making some amazing products; probably the best products they have ever made in their 100+ year history. Cars like the 2011 Mustang and 2010 Fusion that are not only more powerful than the previous model year, but are also more fuel efficient. The F-150 has been a best seller for over 30 years and new products like the Transit Connect and Fiesta are already huge hits with consumers.
