"We are delighted to add ARA to the growing J.D. Power network in China and Asia," said J.D. Power III, founder of the firm.

During their past co-operation, "ARA's analytical discipline, insight and on-the-ground understanding of China's automotive marketplace have complemented J.D. Power's strategic focus and direction and will serve our customers extremely well," said Power.

"The philosophies and capabilities of ARA and J.D. Power are such a good match that we jointly decided to bring ARA's people and knowledge officially into the J.D. Power business," said Michael J. Dunne, former president of ARA who is now to become vice-president of J.D. Power Asia-Pacific.
