Auto Bild Quality Report 2006: Opel Best German Brand

Rüsselsheim - Opel cars have the highest quality of all German brands, according to the results of the Auto Bild Quality Report 2006. Opel was already best German brand last year. The report assesses reliability, long-term quality, service, and customer satisfaction. This confirms the positive results of other current quality surveys. The J.D Power report, surveying vehicle quality in Germany, put the Opel Signum ahead of all other German cars. The University of Bamberg identified Opel as the European brand with highest dealer satisfaction in terms of vehicle quality, and the customer satisfaction study “Car Check” in Stuttgart found Opel to have the lowest error rate of all European automakers. “We are pleased that the efforts of our quality initiative over the last years are getting this recognition,” says Alain Visser, Executive Director, European Sales and Marketing, on the good results achieved by Opel cars. Auto Bild determines the best brands in its Quality Report using a number of channels including a representative survey of over 24,000 car owners, the TÜV report, and long-term test results.
