    Well, they have been getting favorable reviews for their redesigns over the last couple of years, and it likely includes Chevy trucks.

    More importantly, it's a survey of consumer perception. Most, if not all, Mercury cars use a Ford platform, and Mercury was in the 10 worse. Years of being seen as rebadged Fords likely has consumers rating them as over valued. Why pay more for a Ford?
