Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox and Suburban Named “Ideal Vehicles” by AutoPacific
Chevrolet received three 2010 Ideal Vehicle Awards in the annual AutoPacific survey for the 2010 Camaro, Suburban and Equinox. The awards are based on more than 42,000 surveys completed by owners of new cars and trucks in the United States in the first quarter of 2010.
To gauge owners’ satisfaction with their new vehicles, the surveys ask a battery of questions about what owners would change relative to vehicle size, power, visibility, roominess, handling, technology, ride and safety features. The vehicles with the least change suggestions wins.
For 2010, those winners include:
- Chevrolet Camaro, for Best in Class Ideal Vehicle in the Sporty Car category.
- Chevrolet Suburban, for Best in Class Ideal Vehicle in the Large Sport Utility category.
- Chevrolet Equinox, for Best in Class in the Premium Mid-Size Crossover SUV category.
“In the AutoPacific surveys, owners have ranked the Camaro, Equinox, and Suburban as the most ideal vehicles in their segments,” said Jim Campbell, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet Marketing. “As such, the Ideal Vehicle Awards are powerful testaments to the performance, design, and value Chevrolet strives to deliver in every one of our cars, crossovers, and trucks.”
