Cars and of course car makers ebb and flow with time. There are times that one is on top and within a decade they are on the bottom. The be loyal to one brand is foolish, i take a certain twisted pleasure in poking fun at the "brand guys." I think that poopooing a car because it was made by Ford or by Chevy or by, whomever, is short sighted and people that think like that are missing out on some great machines.
To those that say Ford cant produce performance vehicles, you need to look no further then the current Mustangs and the upcoming twin force motors, including the new SHO Taurus. And you can't forget the Ferrari killer GT. There are advantages to owning companies like Aston Martin, Volvo, Mazda Land Rover et.c.
As For GM, they
used to be the American performance brand, but they squandered that title years ago. With the exception of the corvette and a few minor projects here and there they haven't really lived up to that, and thats what i don't like about them at the moment, their vision is gone. Looking at current cars and future cars, they have nothing that ignites that spark like they did 30 years ago. They have become reactive to other automakers instead of proactive. Now would be a good time to shake things up. GM controls Saab and Subaru use them!
My stable is extremely diverse. I have fun, practical and luxerious...
Volvo 780. Hand-built in Italy for Volvo. Now with a 350HP 302 under the hood.
Audi 4000 Quattro. So much fun i hate having to sell it
Bland but functional and almost 200,000 miles on it.
Fairly diverse.
