| Welcome to the Auto Ratings! Auto Ratings' goal is to range automakers in the automobile industry and provide analysis of the rates. This rating is based on votes from all sorts of motorists. If you have ever driven any car of the automakers from this list, please rate it. You may rate several automakers, but only once a day. First day of every month all rating results are brought to naught. Starting a monthly rating from zero allows to identify a monthly automaker winner and thus more objectively display the voters' opinion. We rate automakers by the actual number of votes. Monthly voting statistics can be found . |

Aston Martin V12 Vantage is Awarded ‘Supercar of the Year’ by Wheels Magazine // 02-06-2010
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage has continued to receive global recognition after being named the Wheels Magazine ‘Supercar of the Year’. The V12 Vantage beat off stiff opposition from the Jaguar XKR, Maserati GranTurismo Trofeo Mercedes SLR and Porsche 911 Turbo to land the accolade.
The criteria of entry for the awards, voted for by the Wheels editorial team, meant each car had to have been on sale in 2009, and test driven over the course of the last year.
Wheels writer Amit Benjamin reviewed the V12 Vantage for Wheels: “The Aston Martin V12 Vantage is a traditional sports car in every sense, with a wonderful six litre engine up front, delivering enormous reserves of power to only the rear wheels. Sublime looks have been made even better with the DBS style rims and carbon fibre bonnet louvers and rear diffuser.”

Zoom Replaces Missing Vroom // 02-08-2010
“SMOOTH and quiet as an electric motor” is a phrase that has been used repeatedly to compliment gasoline and diesel engines that are especially well-mannered.
As more hybrid and battery-electric vehicles enter the marketplace, though, the maxim is being transformed. Returning to a role in propelling vehicles that largely disappeared decades ago, electric motors are attracting attention from automakers, who see the need for hybrids and E.V.’s to have personality and character that parallels their brand’s image.

Toyota's troubles // 02-08-2010
The news couldn't get much worse for Toyota. Or could it? It's day to day for the world's largest automaker, and not getting easier. On Friday, Akio Toyoda, president of Toyota Motor Corp. and a grandson of the company's founder, offered a “heartfelt apology” for the recent problems.
A recall by Toyota to address problems with a sticking gas pedal now includes more than 8 million vehicles globally. That's equivalent to Toyota's total sales in 2009. Models affected include the Corolla and Camry, the company's sales stalwarts. Now, we learn, Prius, the company's environmental star, may soon be added to the list of recalls. The Japanese government has ordered the company to examine brakes on the 2010 model Prius.

Prius brake fix near, Toyota tells dealers // 02-06-2010
Toyota Motor notified dealers it is prepared to unveil a solution to problems with the brake system of the popular Prius hybrid sedan, as well as a public relations campaign to try to repair its battered image.
In a notice sent to dealerships late Friday, the automaker wrote: "We want to assure our dealers that we are moving rapidly to provide a solution for your existing customers. We will share more specific details on this solution early next week."

Why GM Will Win By Moving Electrification In-House // 02-06-2010
Whereas most people would consider the company's 2009 bankruptcy as the pivotal turning point in the contemporary history of General Motors, I'm willing put my bet behind the 2007 launch of the Chevy Volt extended-range electric car.
No other product from GM had such a systemic effect within the corporation, shifting nearly overnight the idea of what's important for the company and its culture.
And while some of the motivation behind the car's debut might have been founded in a vacuous effort to rebrand the company's image, the Volt was an inherently positive move for the big company. Now, roughly a year before the car will go on sale, GM is making another move that might be as important as the Volt itself: it plans on building most, if not all, of the guts of the hybrid and electric systems within its own facility.

Japanese ask: Is US backlash behind Toyota woes? // 02-06-2010
Despite the criticism of Toyota over car safety, Japanese citizens still largely view the world's largest automaker with pride -- so much so that some people here wonder whether pressure on Toyota in the U.S. is a ploy to boost American auto producers and undermine Japan Inc.
"I think the Americans are going overboard," said Hiroyuki Komiya, 40, a Tokyo restaurant employee. "Maybe it's Japan-bashing because the trouble at Toyota, which has the world's No. 1 share, is a big opportunity for its American rivals."
That notion may seem far-fetched to the millions of Toyota owners in the United States and around the world whose confidence in the company has made it the world leader -- and are now simply worried about the safety of their cars.
The days of irrational fears of Japanese products that emerged during its economic boom of the 1980s are long gone. Toyota, Honda and Sony are some of the most-trusted brands in America. Toyota makes more of its cars and trucks in the U.S. than it imports there. Last month it had 14 percent of the U.S. market, third behind General Motors Corp. and Ford Motor Co.
