Ideal Vehicle Awards
What do you want in a car?
What is an ideal vehicle ?
Those carmakers that best understand their customers and create the vehicle their core buyer group desires have come closest to the ideal.
And it looks like Ford and Hyundai know their customers best. Hyundai received the top overall spot for most ideal brand, while Ford captured a few high spots themselves. Rating the idealness of a car is somewhat intriguing, but these people apparently know how to do it. I guess a car is the most ideal when the owner has the least things he or she would change about the vehicle.
But, here’s a look at the rest of the ideal awards for 2006.
