BEFORE J.D. POWER AND ASSOCIATES AND R.L. POLK AND COMPANY, COMES T.J. PALMER AND FAMILY.
WINNING OVER THE CRITICS IS GREAT. WINNING YOU OVER IS EVEN BETTER.
When a car receives an award, that means it’s doing what it’s supposed to do. Living up to its promise. The promise to start when you turn the key. To wear but not tear. To give you goose bumps every time you punch the gas. At GM, we don’t build cars to impress the critics. We build them to impress you. Last year we did both. We had more return customers in 2003 than any other car company in the world. It’s the fourth consecutive year GM has been recognized by R.L. Polk & Co. for having the Highest Overall Manufacturer Loyalty.* Quality cars are driving people back. And it starts with the way they’re built. GM had the top two automotive assembly plants in North/South America in the latest J.D. Power and Associates Initial Quality Study.SM** It’s the third straight year GM has received Gold and Silver awards for plant quality. We also received the Highest-Ranked Full-Size SUV in Initial Quality ** for our Chevy Suburban. The same vehicle that earned an enthusiastic thumbs-up from one T.J. Palmer, an extremely satisfied Suburban owner from Idaho. And in the end, that’s the most important endorsement there is. The one that comes from someone like you.
