Strategic Vision '09 Total Quality Award-CORVETTE

[redson]

We all knew this but now our secret is out for all the car world to know! (Posted by Corvetteblogger.com) Just a week after JD Power announced the Chevrolet Corvette as the Best Sports car, Strategic Vision's 2009 Total Quality Awards bestows the same title on the 2009 Corvette Coupe. Not only did Corvette perform better than any other car in its "Premium Coupe" class, its score of 938 was higher than any other class winner in the survey. The Strategic Vision survey gathers its results differently than JD Power. While JD Power surveys approximately four times as many consumers, Strategic Vision rates the positive and negative aspects of buying, owning and driving vehicles. "The difference between products that generate consideration, build brands and increase sales versus those that do not," says Dr. Darrel Edwards, chairman of Strategic Vision, "is often how much delight and love the product generates with its customers.” Other GM vehicles that ranked well in the survey include the Pontiac G8 (899), the GMC Envoy (859) and the GTM Yukon XL (899).
