Automotive research and consulting firm AutoPacific Inc. announced the winners of its 2013 Ideal Vehicle Awards (IVAs). Porsche, Chrysler’s Ram brand and Mercedes-Benz took home top prizes.
MINI and Audi took the top spots as the overall winners with the highest scores for Most Ideal Vehicle.
The research firm’s national survey reveals Cadillac as the top premium brand, Buick as the top popular brand, Suzuki Kizashi as the top car and Lincoln MKT as the top truck.
AutoPacific forecasts industry volume of 11.4 million units in 2010, and by 2015, there will be industry sales of 15.4 million, a far cry from the near-17 million unit years seen through the past decade.
Survey shows that 59 percent of new car buyers do not intend to shop for a new vehicle in four years or more. This is an almost 13 percent increase from a 2005 survey.
Porsche was named top premium brand, Ford was named top mainstream brand, the Mercedes-Benz S-Class was named top vehicle and the Lincoln Navigator received top truck.
