Power shack up]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/12/nada-j-d-power-shack-up/http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/12/nada-j-d-power-shack-up/http://www.autoblog.com/2012/04/12/nada-j-d-power-shack-up/#commentsFiled under:

J.D. Power and Associates created the Power Information Network (PIN) in 1993 to collect and analyze dealer transactions on new and used cars. Power uses the data from more than 10,000 dealerships to "improve business for automotive dealers, manufacturers, lenders, and other companies in the industry." The wider use of consumer data captured at the point-of-sale is what concerns dealers, and it's probably that reasoning which has led to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) partnering with J.D. Power to codify how the information is used and to enhance its application.

It isn't yet spelled out clearly how the tie-up will alter the relationship between dealers and J.D. Power, but it appears to give the NADA a better position in the food chain and flow of customer data, and more protection for dealers and for the data itself. Follow the jump for a press release about the announcement.

Honda took four categories in the latest J.D. Power's 2007 Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) Study. APEAL measures how happy an owner is with the design, content, layout, and performance of their car within 90 days of purchase. When the votes were tallied from the 91,000 respondents, Honda won with the Fit (Sub-compact), CR-V (MAV), Ridgeline (Mid-size pickup), and Odyssey (Van), beating Mercedes and BMW who both took three categories each.

Among the domestics, Ford was the only winner, with the Mustang and the Edge. According to J.D. Power, new or redesigned vehicles tend to score the best, and that cars that score well in the APEAL Study need lower incentives to lure buyers. And in case you were wondering, closely following another study that took the same measure of owner happiness, the Jaguar S-Type did not make the list this time.

Power study: consumers prefer new car designs]]>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/j-d-power-study-consumers-prefer-new-car-designs/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/j-d-power-study-consumers-prefer-new-car-designs/http://www.autoblog.com/2006/06/29/j-d-power-study-consumers-prefer-new-car-designs/#commentsFiled under:



Consumers like new cars. That's the shocking result of the 2006 J.D. Power and Associates Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout Study, which measures owner "delight" with the design, content, layout and performance of their new vehicles. The 11th annual APEAL (get it?) study found that all-new models or models with an extensive redesign received higher APEAL scores, which are usually linked to better sales and higher profits for carmakers.

Porsche, which is at the top of the list for J.D. Power's 2006 Initial Quality Survey, is also the highest ranking brand in the APEAL survey, courtesy of its curvaceous Cayman.

Models that were unchanged from 2005 tended to get lower than average scores. And the popular industry practice of "freshening" an existing design to give it that new car magic doesn't seem to work - freshened models also scored below average.

Check out the full list of nameplate rankings and individual segment leaders after the jump...
