Guys, take a look at what the study is and how it was conducted. It's
even less useful than the rest of the Powers surveys, but don't go pointing
fingers at a survey that basically asks random people vague questions about
how much they like car makers.

You ask questions that don't mean anything, you get answers that don't
mean anything either.
