It's really interesting. It certainly gives marketers insight into how effective it is to talk about cars that are in the pipeline. New Cars

I am a bit surprised no one has yet suggested that at some point vehicles can no longer be manufactured with steel. The way of the future is for vehicles to be smaller, which means we need less weight in cars.

I’m surprise that GM got this much recognition. I think it’s all due to their PR stunt. Even their hybrids cars are no way close to Honda or Toyota in MPG. How can you advertise heavily and claim the credit on being Green on something (VOLT) that are still not available to the public?

I agree that this may not be scientific, but it definitely gives marketers an insight into how effective it is to talk about cars that are in the making. GM pushes so many green cars that will not come out for awhile and it seems to be working.

They did an analysis of 40 million Internet blogs and are calling it scientific research???

Postings on Internet blogs are about as meaningful as graffiti. (And, yes, I recognize the irony of making such a comment on just such a site.)

This is really interesting. Funny that GM, not essentially a brand, did better than Chevrolet, it’s staple brand. Also ironic is that GM did better than Toyota in an online environment that often seems to deride them. I am happy to see Honda take top honors, cuz it certainly seems they deserve it. : )
