Despite being less of a fan of Mercedes-Benz (due to their current design language), I’ll probably always own at least an older sports sedan (W204 C250), and convertible (R129 SL) from them.
I’ll most likely always own a GM product of some sort. Hell, I’ve got 5 right now. Newest being my 2003 S10 I ordered.
Suzuki. 15 years ago my family got one, just routine maintenance and still driving it daily now, exceptionally reliable considering they live in Siberia. Now I commute to work on a Suzuki motorcycle.
Lexus. Always.
Ford. Nothing new, just vintage Fords for my daily and my fun car.
Honestly none and i don’t know the reason to. Every company can make a car with a specific set of attributes, brands don’t matter, history doesn’t matter
GM
I’m a GM man. My grandpa retired from there. Aunt and uncle work there now. My family has very rarely driven anything but GM vehicles. It’s the only life I know… though, shamefully, I have owned several non-GM vehicles.
Chevy, GMC, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Cadillac, hell… I’ll even take a Saturn or a Humvee. Odd ball acquired or overseas brands like holden don’t count.
Lmao whatever I can afford. Toyota corolla.
Porsche
So far, I owned 5 mazda. And i never was disappointed with it (even if one of them alwas really a Ford) protere5 mazda5 b4000 mazda3 miata.
Even a Mazda3 or Mazda6 are still very driver oriented. The miata is still a sports car. And their suv are pretty luxurious.
Honda forever
For me Toyota (including Lexus and Scion). I’m on my 5th- my fiance has one as well I’m not even counting
Mazda. I’ve owned as many as four at a time and as few as one, but unless something goes horribly wrong, it will never be zero.
Lexus
Chevrolet. Specifically a suburban. Nothing beats the practicality when you need to tow heavy loads, and haul people and all their stuff
For now, Subaru. But I feel like they won’t make it past the great EV transition.
