Perception vs. statistics: Perception is, literally, "an impression; the interpretation of information or experience; using of the senses to acquire information". It implies emotions and personal likes/dislikes. Stats, on the other hand, are cold facts; information gathered by scientific means, that keep a record of reliability and performance. Stats indicate the following: 1. Honda; 2. Toyota (shaky, at present!); 3. Nissan; 4. Subaru... and the rest.

Human Factor, perception... Most people will buy thier cars base on that without looking at the actual statistics... However, Perception vs Statistic can be a good Case Study for a Cap Stone project.

Strange list. Why would anyone care what the 'perception' of quality was?
If I were polled, what valuable information could I provide about cars I don't own? Not a slam on the OP, just puzzled why the people who created these rankings thought they would be helpful. Thanks for the J.D. Power Rankings link, soCo. |

It's a problem for Nissan if people's perception of their quality is low. It's also a problem if Nissan's actual quality is low, although that doesn't seem to be the case (about average).
Everything I've read about the Z indicates that the quality of this particular model is high, but I was just wondering if poor Z sales might be due, partially at least, to people's low opinion of Nissan quality. Just a theory.

Quality Concerns
Well I used to like Ford until my moms Ranger starting having it's problems, should of got the Tacoma, My Buick Regal had great longivity I can see how they were tops in domestics in the 90s. Toyota is the big dog now so with that comes high volume and greater chance of developing certain problems associated with that sheer volume,

Customer perception is what makes people buy cars. So if you look at it in terms of vehicles. The top 5 vehicles will be the standard for what the american consumer wants vs what is good for the american consumer. Customer perception is what makes companies change up or add features or models to there line ups as well as subtract them. It has nothing to do with quality. It has all to do with what will line the car corps pockets. |
