What American brand do you think has a good reputation, and why?

Harley-Davidson.

Because a business isn't a brand and I don't associate actual reputations of the business with the reputation of the brand because the brand is a solid immovable thing the business is a fluid forever creating environment. Two totally separate things. The majority of these companys have terrible real reputations because none of them can acknowledge the actuality of the public and their authentic earning capacity. Profits never get cut to help the workers, only to increase the shares.

But the truth is that if for not the foreign car makers advertising dollars, those trusted names like Motortrend, Car and Driver, Road and Track, Automibile and others would have gone belly up.
So if you were depending on someone's money for your existance, would you promote them or pan them.

Its hard too say because mostly everything thing is manufactured in china or owned by foreign companies. However, there has been a comeback in recent years for the American auto industry such as ford. In the 80's when Japanese autos didn't make there mark in the states, GM, Ford and Chrysler dominated the market, but unfortunately this led to low quality cars and the American people were stuck with lemons after 100k miles. But when Toyota, Honda and Nissan came into the picture and these cars proved there mark , things changed and the American auto industry was left in limbo...

1) ford came a long way and proved now there cars are just as good as the japs.
2).. where the beef? the beef in the UNITED STATES in incredible-> steaks...I,ve been to other countries for example and had there steaks and it was awful.
3).. I LOVE COSTCO... The Seattle based company-> great prices and service with good quality merchandise
4).. COCA COLA-> other countries tried to compare it with the U.S but its not the same.
5).. google...tremendous information and knowledge.

So I would say my top 5 American brands or services

are the following ( not in order)

Ford
google
American BEEF ( steaks and burgers) not fastfood!
Coca-Cola
Costco whole sale

Sorry I can't see the list/video as its only allowed for people living in the US. So instead, here's the brands that me and some of my friends think have great reputation.

Ford, Chevrolet, General Electric, Apple, P & G, McDonalds, Rolex, Lacoste, and the one with the biggest rep goes to Nike. Almost everyone here has owned a fake or original pair of Nikes.

As a side note, most Asians practically worship every product from the US, as the products are a sign of high social status. And we kind of associated that most products made in US are very superior compared to others.

Costco's Kirkland Signature branded goods are very good and a decent deal. I think the only Kirkland brand disappointment I've experienced is their toilet paper which took a major hit in quality several years ago and still isn't close to Quilted Northern's level.

Cars that came from NUMMI were quite good, except that they were branded with various GM and Toyota names such as Prizm, Corolla, Nova, Vibe.

BrandIndex should also ask about the American brand with the worst reputation.

Anything that acknowledges the actuality of the market combined with availability and demand.


Coke, Pepsi, probably Hostess after their debut (I mean, you know every opening day spikes. You can't say even a point. EVERY opening day where it's announced on cnn COME ON).

Then followed up with Sony and Xbox and maybe Microsoft but that stuff is expencive.

Then, according to walmart store shelves. Cambles soup, Nestles (drumsticks are selling).

Jack in the Box and Carls Jr both came up with new items and gained value and so did the place with the pretzel bun (maybe wendys).

Both Mcdonalds and Burgerking have lost business to those chains because few people see a difference in quarterpounders. But so many people eat that crap.

Netflix and amazon for sure. Followed up by the UFC's companies that are associated as well as the marketing from the gyms. Tito Ortiz doesn't just fight he runs different businesses as well and those all get funded some how so they gotta be making money with those weird energy drinks and shirts .

3/10 people have a tap out shirt on.

Some times more and it's a trend that's still there.

All of these companies, oh yeah Little Ceaser as well. All have one common trait.

All the people below the 30k earning level basically live off that, maybe not literally. But people can cut out starbucks, but when they work as hard as has been the trend this year, it explains the spikes in profits.

Maybe it's not so vast the charts are busting.

But if you had those stocks before they rose it would have been awesome. Good reputation if your looking at just the word brand.

Because a business isn't a brand and I don't associate actual reputations of the business with the reputation of the brand because the brand is a solid immovable thing the business is a fluid forever creating environment. Two totally separate things. The majority of these companys have terrible real reputations because none of them can acknowledge the actuality of the public and their authentic earning capacity. Profits never get cut to help the workers, only to increase the shares.
And until some company treats it's employees like the Quest family did Race Bannon. Then it will never, ever be worth it to work for less then 30k a year. And eventually civil rights are going to bankrupt these companies and then the trends will change.

But it's important to see that difference or else when things go great, and all of a sudden they do not go great. It's a huge shock unless you can see things catching up with them.

Like Walmart. Enron peaked at about 70ish dollars before the crap hit the fan and all the people who wanted to totally tripped Enron on it's face. Then the whistleblowers were covered up and lol those guys defended them selves. Lost the case.

Walmart just really hit 70ish dollars. There is no way ragonomics will allow for this, it's a bell curve. Ragonomics states, that according to the 3rd law of thermodynamics, all energy is one big amount spread over a large area and it must balance equally so you can put the right amount here or there.

There is only so much cash (according to the people with the cash on cnn and other places they want us to believe). So, if there is only X how do they plan on getting Y?

The only way would be to buy all the other brands in the entire free market. Become a giant gang or something and then play the market like the great Gatsby or some nonsense. I can't wait though.

Every single brand made in America is superior to any other brands in the world
It is only the very aggressive ad campaigns of other countries brandind virtually brainwashing the American consumer into believeing otherwise!
Prime example is the auto industry
Every single auto magazine has for years told us how superior foreign cars are over American made cars and trucks
But the truth is that if for not the foreign car makers advertising dollars, those trusted names like Motortrend, Car and Driver, Road and Track, Automibile and others would have gone belly up.
So if you were depending on someone's money for your existance, would you promote them or pan them.

Ford, because the automobile was invented here and the Model T (not sure if that's the right name for it) was first invented by Henry Ford. Automobiles are one of the biggest money makers around the world and although Ford is no longer the leading car manufacturer, it still has a good reputation.

However, now that I think of it, my father used to own a Ford Lincoln Town Car that broke down three times, twice on the freeway, and Ford automobiles have many malfunctions and parts that break apart easily, so I'm not sure if I would say this brand has a good reputation today. It used to in the past, but not now.

Google, Yahoo!, Apple, and other such silicon valley based companies are great ones, as are Zuckerberg's Facebook, and Mac PCs.
