成立於1986年、與J.D.Power同樣具影響力的市調公司IntelliChoice,在美國地區的公信力足以左右消費者購車目標,日前該公司針對2005年3月前共計1700款車,公佈整體最具價值的評選結果,日本車可算是大獲全勝,美國車與其他地區進口車成績普遍不佳。
IntelliChoice所公佈的這份結果,是以購買價格、維修保養費用、市場二手價格為評選標準,再加上諸多的因素來評斷哪款車最具購買價值,依車型分為25種類別,結果日本車就佔了多達20款,當地的美國三大則靠SUV休旅車與Pick up貨卡稍稍扳回顏面,至於歐洲車款僅VW Golf入榜。日本車之所以能獲得消費者認同,最主要還在於低故障、高品質且省油,不若美國車動不動就展開大規模召回;而歐洲車最大罩門就在於零件保養費用太貴。以下就是這次評選的結果:
