Mercedes Ranks Highest Among Auto Brands

[RSM]

Mercedes-Benz ranks highest among automotive brands in retaining vehicle owners when they buy a new-vehicle, and improves their retention rate by eight percentage points from 2008 to 67 percent in 2009. Following in the rankings are Honda (64%) and Toyota (61%).

Mercedes-Benz has steadily improved its customer retention rates during the past five years, and in 2009, has achieved the highest rate ever attained by a manufacturer since the inception of the study. In particular, customers cite the resale value and appearance and styling of Mercedes-Benz models as primary reasons to remain loyal to the brand.

Surprised to see companies like Audi,Suzuki down there. These are the global ranking a'nt they?

 

[RSM]

Yes these are global ranking.
Suzuki has never been the favourite (India is exception).

 

[Zinam]

Suzuki is no popular brand globally!

But shocking to see VW & Audi lying down in competetion!

 

[RSM]

I am not sure, but i think even VW is not so popular outside europe, specially in USA.

Yes RSM that I know, thats why I hope that they develop the same image in India too.

 

[Zinam]

Ford has lost the image due to high maintainence cost in India, where as they give 5yrs warranty in other countires :)

So they are leading the charts!
