General Motors and DaimlerChrysler Again Dominate CR's Used-Cars-to-Avoid List
General Motors Corporation lead Consumer Reports' 2006 Used-Cars-to-Avoid list with 36.1% of the entries, followed by DaimlerChrysler AG with 22.6%. Ford Motor Company was third with 16.2% of the entries. The following chart graphically depicts each auto manufacturer's share of the 2006 list.
In the above chart, each manufacturer's percentage of entries includes the contributions from all of its divisions and fully owned subsidiaries (domestically and non-domestically headquartered) and is rounded to the nearest whole percent. Toyota Motor Corporation, the Subaru auto division of Fuji Heavy Industries, Ltd., and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation had no entries in the 2006 Used-Cars-to-Avoid list.
The several Honda entries were several model years of the Honda Passport, a rebadged product of Isuzu Motors Ltd., an affiliate of General Motors Corporation.
The next chart provides the percentages for CR's 2005 Used-Cars-to-Avoid list, for comparison.
In this chart as well, auto manufacturer percentages have been rounded to the nearest whole percent. Both Mitsubishi and Toyota had one entry (accounting for 0.2% of the total number of entries) in the 2005 list; Subaru had none. Again, the several Honda entries were several model years of the Honda Passport, a rebadged product of Isuzu, an affiliate of GM.
