  • 1.  Questions about Automakers

    BPS Netters,

    I am trying to collect data about automakers. I mean an automaker a brand
    (Not GM but Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet etc). What I am looking for is
    brand level performance. Currently, I have brand level sales and
    production.

    However, I am wondering whether brand level financial data such as profit,
    ROA, etc. is available somewhere. Also, any suggestion about alternative
    brand level performance would be a great help. I am also wondering whether
    there is data about brand image or trustworthiness. Consumer Report and JD
    Power have related data but their data comes from consumers' actual
    experience, but I need consumers' general perception on the brand. Does
    anyone know of any survey or data source that provide this information?
    Thanks in advance

    Kwangho,
     
    I would recommend you to look at the information provided by Net Advantage: http://www.netadvantage.standardandpoors.com/NASApp/NetAdvantage/servlet/login?url=/NASApp/NetAdvantage/index.do
     
    Your library probably has access to it.
     
    They may have the information you are looking for.
