Coordinated by the automotive research and consulting firm, AutoPacific, the IVAs are based on owners’ ratings of their new 2011 model year cars and trucks across 15 key vehicle attributes ranging from power and acceleration to interior roominess. As George Peterson, President of AutoPacific explains, “Its getting harder and harder to measure quality differences in today’s vehicles. IVA winners deliver the most of what consumers are really looking for in their vehicles. Shoppers can use the IVAs as a benchmark for vehicles that are designed and built with customers in mind.”
