A vehicle buyer can use the comparison to see where each brand stands on WCRC’s measures. A vehicle manufacturer needs to go one step further. Compare buyers shopping for the same body style, price band and use case before asking whether either brand has an advantage on trust or delivery. A family choosing a car for daily use and a customer shopping for a premium model may weigh the same experiences differently. The global scorecards combine evidence at brand level and give no basis for assuming that the overall near tie carries through to a particular local segment.
