Bottom line
When you look at the big picture, it’s clear that Detroit’s Big Three automakers have come a long way since the depths of the recession and their stereotype of producing poor-quality vehicles. Consider that for the first time in two decades all three Detroit automakers gained market share in the U.S. for the entire first quarter. In addition to that, Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) has produced America’s best-selling vehicle for the last 31 straight years, and owns four of the top 12 best-selling models — more than any other automaker.

We also have to remember that Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) consistently ranks on top in consumer loyalty and that doesn’t happen by chance. I think it’s time we give General Motors Company (NYSE:GM) a nod in respect for improving vehicle quality — GMC jumped 10 spots to rank second in this year’s study — but in my opinion, Ford is still on top of Detroit’s Big Three automakers. One thing is for sure: If Ford and GM continue to impress consumers with quality, popular designs, and valuable vehicles, investors will surely be rewarded as automotive sales continue to surge.
