Toyota, Ford and Honda join The Top Ten Most Recognized Brands

I just finished fixing my car’s bumper and now I need another brake rotor as well as a bug shield because I was not that good at driving. Maybe I need to consult a mechanic for that matter. I always find my car’s parts already worn out.

Before I finally found the car parts I needed, I discovered this piece of news on theautochannel.com. I’m a great fan of the site and it has been my daily habit to visit it everyday to refresh my mind with news about the US automotive industry.

Harris Poll released its annual top ten most popular companies in the US and just before I searched for my favorite Toyota on the list, is just when I found it on the top three. Bravo. Among all the car makers on the list, Toyota got the highest rank. Well, the Ford Motor Company follows at the fifth rank and the Honda Motor Corporation on the tenth spot.

I was again impressed about Toyota. But before I discuss to you about it, let me give you the top ten list of the most recognized brands as I found it on theautochannel.com:

1. Coca Cola
   
2. Sony
   
3. Toyota
   
4. Dell
   
5. Ford
   
6. Kraft Foods
   
7. Pepsi Cola
   
8. Microsoft
   
9. Apple
   
10. Honda

Nothing will be more famous than Coca Cola as it gets the highest rank on the list. It gained the most popularity which was also followed by PlayStation and Ericsson maker Sony. Like Sony, another Japanese company, Toyota, gets the third rank. Impressive, huh? Dell garnered top four spot followed by the Detroit based car maker Ford Motor Company which ranks second among the Big Three car makers in the US car market and it completes the top five.

On the sixth spot lies the famous mayonnaise maker Kraft Foods followed by the Beyonce, Britney and Pink’s favorite Pepsi Cola. Microsoft also follows on the eighth spot making the iPod maker Apple land on the ninth spot. Another Japanese company filled the top ten list. Yes I am pertaining to Honda which was found on the tenth spot of the most popular brands in the US.

What happened to the biggest car seller in the US - the General Motors Corporation? I was expecting that the company at least would have entered the top ten famous brands. Well, I guess GM has to do its stuff better next year. Better luck next time GM.
