James David Power III, founder of automotive data analytics and consumer intelligence company J.D. Power, died on Saturday, Jan. 23, 2021. He was 89.
A new J.D. Power survey finds car buyer demand for semi-autonomous safety technology is threatened by overbearing alerts that are causing many to disable their systems, increasing the risk of a collision.
The trucks and vans that topped J.D. Power's lists for 2019 Resale Value awards include the GMC Sierra 3500, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, and Honda Odyssey minivan, the firm announced.
The passenger car segment was a main contributor to the the rise in used-vehicle prices in 2018.
Buick and Lexus ranked highest in overall vehicle dependability, which improved 9% overall in the past year, according to J.D. Power's annual Vehicle Dependability Study. Fleets using a three-year replacement model may benefit from higher resale prices.
J.D. Powers analysts found prices for used trucks remain high as volume levels dropped, while retail prices continue to hold steady as well.
Personal observations of retail and travel transactions reveal just how much a consumer’s time is worth today, and how increasingly intolerant we are of inefficient transactions.
On the other hand, U.S. drivers show interest in many advanced driver assistance features, a new study from J.D. Power finds.
Lexus and Porsche vehicles remained at the top of the J.D. Power 2017 Vehicle Dependability Study, while Toyota and General Motors collected multiple category awards, the firm announced Feb. 22.
Driver assist technologies make new vehicles more appealing to their owners, according to the J.D. Power 2016 U.S. Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study.
