HOW BRAND LOYAL ARE YOU??

**BABY J** · 10-22-2007, 08:16 AM

I've noticed that some people on here are fiercely loyal to the car manufacturer of the vehicles that they own.. others dont seem to be as much, or really couldn't give a ****.

At my core, I am obv a Honda fan. When people realize that Honda is not a "car company" but is an ENGINE company that also "happens" to make cars they will learn how they are very unique when compared to other "vehicle" manufacturers. At its core, I truly believe Honda is 2nd to none in engine manufacturing (automotive [combustine], jet, small, u name it). But obv I have had other manufacturers as well.

*discuss*

**Black R** · 10-22-2007, 08:38 AM

honda guy here for the same above reasons.

the fit and finish + innovations in power production and efficiency keep me with honda.

**mocha latte cupcake** · 10-22-2007, 08:40 AM

nissan brand loyal... i've strayed twice with disasterous (sp?) results. i love their looks and design and engines too...

as fas as aftermarket.... i'm definately loyal it irritates me when i can't find something to complete a car b/c the company has it for everything else except mine sigh lol.... but i stay loyal as much as i can.... i changed my whole set up b/c HKS pissed me off lol (sold the intake, and 1 of 3 headers in north america)... so now its all GReddy lol

**AnthonyF** · 10-22-2007, 09:07 AM

I like anything that catches my eye. i'm not biased towards any cars. like import guys hate domestics for whatever stupid reason, and same goes for domestics hatin imports. then u got the fords hating chevys, how gaye....

I like anything, teggys, civics, raised 2500's, slammed F-150's, stock TL's, te BBS Camry, i like everything. i'm very open minded

**Sammich** · 10-22-2007, 09:10 AM

I am very Toyota loyal. I decision maker on my current car was the fact that it was powered by a Toyota engine.

**admedlin** · 10-22-2007, 09:24 AM

i'm not really brand loyal. I've only had 3 cars, so its kinda hard to be so hardcore. Of those three, two were Hondas and I liked those more than my Chrysler

for aftermarket, when i decide to do something with this car, I like to stick with one brand for most of my stuff. I'm going to get a lot of Invidia for this car when I decide to do it, then another brand and stick with that if Invidia doesn't have it. IMO it makes the car "clean" because it doesn't have a lot of different brands, styles, looks, etc. No ebay intakes on my car

......i hate fords

**BlkCD5** · 10-22-2007, 09:37 AM

I can't really say that im brand loyal. Just with every product, its a learning experience. Also every car brand i've owned has had its fair share of problems..lol. I kinda feel sorry for people who buy cars just for the name or that it looks "cute", not knowing what it will cost them in the long run.

**speedminded** · 10-22-2007, 09:46 AM

I've had everything from Japanese to American to British plus a few Swedish and German cars in the family. Craftmanship and innovation is what I like to see, cars are just a bunch of parts put together to form one big unit so as long as it started its life with quality materials that aren't destined to fail then who cares.

I have no problem taking a quality part from one manufacturer and putting it on another...from brakes to engines. Anything can be modified to be faster, handle better, look better, and be safer while doing so...just have fun with it.

**GTScoob** · 10-22-2007, 09:58 AM

lol. Honda is an engine manufacturer as well as a car company, there are very few companies that make cars and dont make their own motors. Hell you can get Subaru powered leaf blowers at Home Depot. Fuji Heavy Industries, the owners of Subaru also make all sorts of big rigs, as well as aerospace industry parts.

That being said, I love my WRXs but I'm not very brand loyal, this will probably be my one and only subaru for a while. I wouldnt mind moving up into something a little classier someday.

**RUFFIAN** · 10-22-2007, 10:04 AM

I like products from everywhere. All auto manufacturers have some great products and some not so much. I go for what moves me and then do the research to see if it is worth getting. Also auto companys do to much switching/trading of engines and such to get caught up in that "brand loyalty "crap. thats like the old "Buy American" farse of a campaign

**Kamikaze** · 10-22-2007, 10:06 AM

Ahura Mazda

Only a real Mazda fan will know what that's about.

I also like Toyota and Nissan.

**TheGrillMan** · 10-22-2007, 10:08 AM

so i wonder what went wrong with hundi (sp) they build some of the biggist oil tankers in the world along with massive desiel engines yet there cars are bleh..

Thats always been my gripe with Suzuki. How can all of your motorcycles be so badassed and it not be reflected in your car lines?

**Bruce Leroy** · 10-22-2007, 10:13 AM

I used to be honda for lyfe. But now i like pretty much anything thats modded to my likeing.

**JITB** · 10-22-2007, 11:03 AM

im loyal to the ford/mazda compacts of the 90's...anything else ill accept as 2nd..

**GAtegs** · 10-22-2007, 11:31 AM

Honda...but I like anything fast.

**rndockery98** · 10-22-2007, 11:47 AM

1- Honda
2- Nissan
3- Toyota
my second car was a civic and i've been a Honda guy since then. i've had a Honda CBR 1000rr also that was bada$$. now i have the s2000 and i love it even more than i did my bike. the only prob with Honda is that I've heard that it is hard to get warranty work done if you ever need it. i also like ford/chevy fullsize trucks, but not any domestic cars. they are all built so cheap. the main reason i like honda's is because you can run them into the ground, i mean, they last forever. i sold my civic to a friend, then he sold it to a kid that lives around here and i still see it driving around. it's got to have 250,000 miles on it by now.

**OneSlow5pt0** · 10-22-2007, 12:01 PM

Mazda is always my first choice....but i really like my celica

**bigjacsoc** · 10-23-2007, 06:01 PM

my mom has a 2004 acoord sedan and we have never had problems with it in the 50k miles weve had it, nor the 2001 accord sedan nor the 98 accord sedans shes had in the past. they are kinda fast and extremely reliable but i have a 93 240sx so u know where it goes from here, nissans look better and are reliable too so thats why i have a 240 instead of a civic, also mines a rwd so i can drift but u cant do that with a civic.

**Bballjamal** · 10-23-2007, 06:20 PM

Im a Euro guy but just can't afford the fleet of those vehicles I'd deffinately own if I robbed Mr. Gates

**-S Double C-** · 10-23-2007, 06:50 PM

Ive always been game for Honda's but after owning a 240sx for a few weeks now SCREW THEM! RWD is so much funner. My car handles like a dream and the turning radius is so much better then a honda. And there nothing like kicking out the rear end on tap. The torque is wonderful! Sound is so much better. As for parts im strictly with JIC/HKS/Apex/ and some Greddy products. It's high dollar as hell and considered baller stuff but ill pay for the quality!

Nice to see you going to the darkside...lol

**spacelion** · 10-23-2007, 07:22 PM

I own a Honda currently, and probably always will like them a whole lot. But I do plan to get into the other 2 of the J3 manufacturers for sure. Hell they're all awesome! As far as brands go, it's Spoon in the Honda game, and then I like HKS for just about everything else. Top Secret is another tuning company I admire a whole lot too.

**GangstaCoupe** · 10-23-2007, 07:31 PM

I only like Amurican makes...

**Fr33way** · 10-23-2007, 07:58 PM

I have to say that I look at each car individually. Plenty of makes have had hits and misses through the years. From stripped hatches to American muscle to luxury to tuner to race cars I can appreciate them all. I think Speedminded said it pretty well.

**green91** · 10-23-2007, 08:03 PM

Although im a toyota master technician, im a huge honda fan. Ive had several hondas, a nissan and a ford over the years, and bought my first toyota this year. But if i were going out to buy a new vehicle today i would still have to shop, as im not terribly ecstatic about honda's current lineup, and ive already got a tacoma which is their only current model i care for.

**Z0_o6** · 10-23-2007, 08:18 PM

i'm a second generation honda tech, so i guess you could say i was born and bred for hondas since day one.

needless to say i am pretty hardcore for honda... but the ironic thing is i have a chevy silverado and a suzuki gsxr-600.

**xlilvi3tx** · 10-23-2007, 08:34 PM

im a honda guy i love their bodies such as the dc2/5 and bb6, but then i also love nissans, which is my second choice, because of their stronger engines and also their aggressive looks such as the kouki s14 but other then those two i wont get anything else

**Kyle** · 10-23-2007, 08:38 PM

Well I considered getting a harlequin golf just to have a rare vw project, so I guess I'm brand loyal.

**Barefoot** · 10-25-2007, 09:28 AM

doesnt realy matter to me as long as i can get to work and back without a brake down.

**cdhtang** · 10-25-2007, 05:01 PM

I am not loyal to any brand, I think it depends on what car it is and money that you have.

I guess overall right now:
Honda
Nissan
Toyota
When I get rich:
Ferrari
Porches
Mercedes

**SPOOLIN** · 10-25-2007, 05:29 PM

Honda. I hate Nissans, they make me vomit.

**BABY J** · 10-25-2007, 06:14 PM

^^^ LOL.

**1439/2000** · 10-25-2007, 06:21 PM

The first Mitsubishis that hit US shores bombed Pearl Harbor.

Thats why Galant VR-4s are hardcore.

**dickdragon** · 10-25-2007, 06:36 PM

idk
