Consumer Reports Toyota's Top Fiat

According to Reuters, the results of the annual "quality report" of the "Consumer Report" of the United States were freshly released. Toyota, the world's largest car company, ranked first, and Lexus ranked second in two consecutive years.

The magazine has a lot of influence in the United States. After paying close attention to the new car market in the US in a year, the magazine released this ranking. In the United States, when consumers buy a new car, they usually refer to the survey to select the brand.

Unfortunately, the four brands with the lowest ratings all came to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. In this quality survey** 28 car companies participated in the selection, among which, Fiat ranked the lowest; among the 265 models participating, the small car Fiat 500L ranked the last in the reliability rating.

But in any case, ranking does not have a big impact on sales. For example, Fiat has been at the bottom of the rankings since at least 2009, but its sales performance is still unsatisfactory. Chrysler’s market share in the US even reached 12.2% this year, compared with only 9% in 2009.

The biggest winner of the survey was Ford’s Lincoln brand, which had a straight-up 12th place and had a good 15th place, while Mercedes-Benz’s ranking dropped sharply this year due to the poor performance of the new CLA models. In addition, according to surveyed drivers, the biggest problem at the moment is that the car's infotainment system is not performing as well as it should be.
