Cadillac Forums: Autopacific names Cadillac top brand
AutoPacific's annual Vehicle Satisfaction Score study has once again named Cadillac its top brand. The brand, which shared the VSS award with Lexus in 2002 and won outright in 2001, registers the highest overall owner satisfaction in the consulting firm's survey. Among individual vehicles, the Lexus LS 430 is the highest rated passenger car and the Cadillac Escalade EXT, the highest rated truck. Nissan's Murano also garnered a special award because of its exceptionally high score in its first year of production. The awards were given as follows:

Wait a minute... Isn't the Cadillac DeVille a premium luxury car? I guess if AutoPacific didn't have the "American" luxury car award, Cadillac DeVille wouldn't be on that list.. Right?

I agree. I think they were little biased towards domestic brands.

"Among individual vehicles, the Lexus LS 430 is the highest rated passenger car and the Cadillac Escalade EXT, the highest rated truck."
At least Cadillac actually makes the best trucks!
BTW Autopacifica isn't a magazine. It's a firm that tallies owner surveys to find the top vehicle. So it's more of an accurate gauge of real public experience with the brands.
"American Luxury Car". Wow, I'm impressed, the Deville beat out the Town car
And as for the EXT saying something about Cadillac, how do you figure. It's just a semi-dressed up Chevy Avalanche. I would've been impressed if the CTS had garnered the same type of award that the Murano did.
