Notice there's no really high end cars or really cheap cars on the lists.
Generally, the high end represents the best looking and the cheapest represent some of the worst looking.
The LS looks great especially the new front end. I LOVE those headlkghts and grill!

I wonder if the recent sale of J.D. Power to McGraw-Hill has compromised the company's integrity for impartial customer satisfaction data.
Not that I think J.D. Power polls were impartial to begin with:
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/articl...&type=business
For the uninitiated, J.D. Power is a Southern California market researcher that studies customer satisfaction in a wide variety of industries, from cars and cell phones to health care and utilities.
The company funds and performs its own research, then makes its extensive data available -- for a price -- to the industries covered.
Those industries in turn may use J.D. Power's findings in their marketing campaigns as independent proof that consumers can rely on their products and services.
But here are a couple of things most people might not know:
The companies evaluated by J.D. Power in fact pay the firm to use its name in their ads, and a hefty amount of cash is said to be changing hands.

I wonder what guidelines they had? No exotics? JD Power is a good source, IMO, I am just wondering if they supplied people with a list already and people just chose from it or did people honestly just write down what they think.

I can understand the Aztek, Avalanche and xB...possibly the Q45 and QX56 as well...but the RX-8, Celica, LS 430 and Diamante are NOWHERE NEAR ugly. And since when is a PT Clunker a decent looking car?! In all fairness, I'm surprised there are no BMWs in the "ugly" list.
