NICE! Ya... I would think Mercedes Lexus would be "admired" company... who the F admires toyota and honda over Mercedes and Lexus? I dont that list is correct. theres a lot of companies missing that I would think should be on the list.

I think the list is based on company's financial performance, market cap, etc, not on brand alone.
