I tend toward Dodge/Chrysler in cars and Ford for trucks. Kia, which is not listed, is a really good value and really led the way in the 100,000 mile warranties that lots of companies are now offering.

I voted VW, because they own Audi too.

hyundai is a pretty good deal too. You get alot of car for not a lot of money, like the kia.

by the way, Volkswagen Auto Group owns

Audi AG,
Bentley Motors Ltd.,
Bugatti Automobiles S.A.S.,
Lamborghini S.p.A.,
SEAT, S.A.,
Å*koda Auto,
Volkswagen Passenger Cars,
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles,
Volkswagen Marine,
MAN AG,
Scania AB

Also, Porsche owns both Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche (Porsche AG, Porsche cars) AND a large stake in Volkswagen AG.

now you know.

Good point. We need either a bunch more makes on the list, or at least 'other'.

No need for 'Other' or even the rest. Volkswagen for the WIN!!! My last 5 cars, and possibly my next one.

Mm, transverse engine, when you gun it it rocks from side to side like a top fueller. My aunt used to have an immaculate royal blue one. I was like 8 the last time I saw it and it burbled like a rally car, I'll never forget it. Still prefer a mk2 VW Golf GTi with a 1.8T conversion though. Or a VR6 Corrado. My 2 favourite cars.

If there is only one choice, it has to be a '90 ZR-1, black/black with the glass top and a Euro taillight kit. That doesn't necessarily mean I choose GM, just that car. It is the only true automobile.

So... poo-poo on you.

dodge is my favorite american manufacturer, Volvo is my favorite "driver" manufacturer and TVR is my favorite "racer" manufacturer.

the Dodge Viper ACR is my favorite all time car, with the Cobra and the Griffith right behind it.

What? I'm the only one who likes Audi..[X(] haha Audis are soo fun in the snow and great cars all around. They probably have the best 4wd systems ever. When they took over Lamborghini (or bought out or something) they changed to their 4wd systems, which rocks.

Audis are trouble they break alot and are a pain to work on.

VW is a solid car though so are BMW's not a big fan on japanese cars, they may get millions of miles on them, but they fall apart, the engine and trans are the only things that really last.
