Three models rank highest in their respective segments in both the 2011 APEAL Study and the 2011 IQS: the Dodge Challenger, Ford F-150 LD and HondaRidgeline.
These expected high-mileage runners run the gamut from affordable small cars like the Toyota Yaris and the Scion xB and xD, to family minded SUVs including the Acura RDX, Lexus RX 350 and the Toyota RAV4 and 4Runner to utilitarian pickups like the Chevrolet Avalanche and HondaRidgeline.
Ford and Honda capture two model-level awards each, with Ford receiving awards for the all-new Fiesta and F-150 LD and Honda receiving awards for the Ridgeline and redesigned Odyssey.
