| Honda, Lexus Are Tops In Perceived Quality; Ford, Hyundai Improve Posted: 31 May 2012 07:00 AM PDT  When it comes to perceived quality -- that is, how consumers view brands, based on personal experience and word-of-mouth -- Honda and Lexus are at the top of their game. That's according to ALG, a California-based company that has been predicting valuations in the automotive industry for almost 50 years. In the spring of this year, ALG interviewed...

| Posted: 30 May 2012 09:26 PM PDT  For years, the Lexus ES has been a great luxury sedan for impressing the clients. It's been conservatively dressed; plush, premium, quiet, and comfortable inside—yet never ostentatious. And it's worn that Lexus badge more as a symbol of smart, on-a-budget luxury than flamboyance.

| Posted: 30 May 2012 08:16 PM PDT  Straddling the gap between a sporty car and a true sports car, the Audi TT shirks simple classification in favor of a combination of design, practicality, and fun-driving spirit underpinned with solid Audi engineering.

At the same time, there's a new kind of luxury shopper who wants a car that's quiet and cushy, yet more responsive—not sluggish or boatlike. We think that the 2012 Lexus...
