75,000 new car and truck owners across America are responsible for determining the recipients of the AutoPacific 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA). Each VSA winner is calculated from a survey of owner satisfaction that takes into account only the input provided by participants in the first quarter of 2012, ensuring a pure and unbiased result.
