At the make level, Ford continues to retain the highest percentage of its consumers with 57.5 percent of its buyers remaining loyal. Ford has enjoyed the top seed in the make category since 1996.

If Chevrolet, I would not argue with you, If Allison, I would have to definitely say you are wrong. Allison transmission is a top notch transmission. I think several non-biased posters in this forum would agree with me on this point. This is one instance I give Chevy credit, they couldn't build a good tranny so they bought one.

That link did not prove anything. If you notice, that is based on the number of hits to that particular model who actually responded. Think of how many who looked and didn't respond, or who b/s'd just to tick somebody off??
But obviously you didn't look at #1 or #2.

#1 and #2 only had 2 reviews where as #4 has 26 reviews. The F-150 had 76 reviews and it was #26. Now, do you really think that that many people would rate a vehicle badly just to tick off a total stranger? I dont think so.
