The BMW Group has been ranked “most admired company” in the automotive industry for the second time in a row

RESPECT! BMW deserves it.

give respect where respect is due

No denying that BMW has a lot of admirers worldwide.

you obviously don't understand that they are talking about a BUSINESS admiring BMW. this survey isn't intended to tell you what the average person thinks. it's perfectly valid.

UAW, you need to take Statistics 101. A sample size of 4000 is a more than large enough no matter how large the target population is as long as the the sample was selected properly (truly random).

Congrats BMW!

Owned one for 2 years and couldn't be happier!

Finally some good news for BMW. Boy they have been hammered lately .

I was really wondering why this BMW marketing mole didn't tell you about the rest of contenders and scores they got.

But then I reviewed his recent comments and everything has become clear:
- Lexus LS is a stretched Camry
- Infiniti Essence looks shit
- Lexus development of new cars is pointless
- some talks about German superiority
- buttering up Agent001

Now you know whom you're facing, don't you?

StinkyFanBoi, you are a huge liar! I responded to a stretched camry comment, I complimented the nissan show car, and the rest of your babbling I can't even tell where you twisted it from. Lying is wrong FanBoiStinker.

— Whatthe: "Where is audi on your list?"

It is considered together with Volkswagen as its parent company. For the same reason you can't see Lexus or Mini on this list.

True true, I should've been more careful. Don't wanna trigger an avalanche.

I would have thought VW would have ranked most admired considering their earnings

I would have though Porsche would have ranked most admired considering they basically bought VW.

"I would have thought VW would have ranked most admired considering their earnings" - 0to60

Being admired doesn't necessarily relate to earnings, it's how you are running your company, the image you portray and the product/s you deliver.

They have a great brand and some great products. Hard not to admire.

Must be an early April Fool''s Joke. How is an almost bankrupt carmaker the most "admired." Onl BMW fools continue to be dumb and blind.

Only Audi owners think their cars are great, Audi is not a respected company, and not in the same league as BMW. Audi is more like Subaru.
