Porsche grabs the top spot for the fifth year in a row in the J.D. Power and Associates (http://www.jdpower.com/) 2009 Automotive Performance, Execution, and Layout (APEAL) Study. For this year's study, the team at JDPA gathered information from more than 80,900 purchasers and lessees of new 2009 model-year cars and questioned them on more than 90 vehicle attributes. Their studies examined "how gratifying a new vehicle is to own and drive," based on those evaluations.

While the APEAL nameplate ranking is significant (Porsche, Jaguar, and Cadillac round out the top-three), the segment winners offer more insight into what today's buyers are seeking. This year, it appears to be the newly launched models including the Volkswagen CC (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/pics-and-details-aplenty-2009-volkswagen-passat-cc/), Nissan Maxima (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/20/first-drive-2009-nissan-maxima/), Dodge Challenger (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/12/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-dodge-challenger-se/), and Ford Flex (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/12/first-drive-2009-ford-flex-limited-awd/)... each took top honors in their respective category. This year's biggest upset comes in the "Midsize Premium Car" segment as the all-new Hyundai Genesis (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/13/in-the-autoblog-garage-2009-hyundai-genesis-sedan/) (sedan) knocks the BMW 5 Series (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/30/bmw-rolls-out-5-millionth-5-series/) from the podium. Check out the gallery for the graphics, and read the full press release after the break.
