Chevy is there. He just called it GM. Who knows why Pontiac was made a separate category. Maybe because it is the only GM brand besides Cadillac that I would think of driving. [;)]

Well I voted for Ford because they own Aston Martin and Jaguar.

I guess "domestic" means a bit of something else to me lol,

I personally drive a Mini Cooper S and my girl drives a Nissan Z, I know those are not the best for hauling plywood but that's what the hardtop is for.

I will say though that if I had my pick of Detroit's Finest I'd go with one of the Ford GT40s or a beautiful old 1959 Chevy Corvette in blue and white.

I really don't like Pontiacs as I used to have an old Grand Prix and it was a dog. I have had a couple Buicks though that were quite great cars, and their parts worked well in Budd RDCs.

Jeeps- CJ's TJ's XJ's YJ's ZJ's and lets not forget B....well, maybe we should forget them, here.
Ford trucks hold up better to abuse than the others listed, GM will get you around ok with styleish looks, Dodge has the best design team out there,and obviously the Grand Am is a popular car.
But Jeeps have souls!

I voted GM cuz thats what pays the bills.[tup]
But realllllly folks, [:p]they are ALL plastic, tin and rubber. They all have busy service departments, and are all designed by a bunch of snot nosed, dim witted bean counters that refuse to learn from companies past mistakes in automotive "innovation".
Jaded? [:0]Me? [}:)]Naaahhh.[^] Just spend 25 years working [banghead]for various manufacturers (Ford,Honda, Dodge,Lincoln Merc,GM) service departments (17 years with the current one) and see if you don't get this way yourself.
Since we are sharing slams, two of my favorites:
DODGE
Drips Oil,Drips Grease Everywhere[(-D]
FORD
Friggin Old Remanufactured Dodge[(-D]

I drive an oldsmobile.

I didn't buy it, I got it free from my mom a bunch of years ago.

I have no complaints it's run really well for me with no major problems, and almost 275000KM.

Only problem is they don't make oldsmobiles anymore, so I guess I gotta pic something different when I get a new car. [:(]

Dodge stands for:

Dead
Or
Damaged
Greasy
Embarrassment.

By the way, MOPAR fans, you probably all glorify the Cummins engine in your big tough Ram, right?

Well, FORD owns Cummins, so if you bash Ford, you're bashing your diesel powered Dodge as well!

It's True!
