Imports Top Domestics in Latest Auto Manufacturer Consumer Satisfaction Ratings

New data from the American Consumer Satisfaction Index suggests that domestic manufacturers are taking the brunt of the dissatisfaction while foreign owned brands fare far better overall.

  • Lexus – 84
  • Mercedes-Benz – 83 (down 3%)
  • Lincoln – 83
  • Acura – 83 (up 8%)
