Customers Say Visteon is the Number One Systems Integrator

    DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 11 -- Being named "best of the best" by
your customers is quite an achievement -- one that Visteon strives for every
day and is very proud to achieve.
    In a recently completed survey of 1,800 professionals in the automotive
industry, Visteon Automotive Systems was named the leading systems integrator
among all automotive suppliers.  In this category, manufacturers ranked
Visteon especially favorable in quality -- consistently meeting or exceeding
customer's standards -- and in providing consistent, dependable delivery of
products and services.
    "This award is an important acknowledgment of the value we bring to our
customers," said Visteon President Craig Muhlhauser.  "Our competitive
advantage is our nearly 100 years of vehicle systems engineering expertise,
Visteon uses this expertise to integrate innovative systems solutions into
vehicles unlike any other supplier in the world -- clearly, our customers
agree."
    Systems integration is only one category in which Visteon was named the
leading supplier.  Visteon also was voted number one in the Body Exterior and
Transmission/Drivetrain Systems product categories.  Visteon was the only
supplier to be awarded the number one position in three different categories.
    "It is especially rewarding for customers to recognize Visteon's
employees' hard work and dedication to providing outstanding customer service
and value," added Muhlhauser.  "We are all very proud of this accomplishment."
    The second annual "Quest for Excellence" survey, conducted by Automotive
Industries and Pricewaterhouse Coopers, asked automotive manufacturers to rate
their suppliers in 20 different product categories.  Manufacturers were asked
to judge suppliers using five criteria: service, quality, price, delivery and
innovation.
    In addition to being named the leading supplier in three categories,
manufacturers ranked Visteon among the top five suppliers in the categories of
Interior and Electronic Systems -- for a total of five "Quest for Excellence"
awards.
    With a global delivery system of nearly 125 technical, manufacturing,
sales and service facilities located in 21 countries, Visteon is leveraging
the talents of its 77,000 employees to deliver innovative, consumer-driven
systems solutions to its customers.
