Subaru should be counted as domestic if they’re newer maybe. I think it’s hard to really hate on them from a practical/reliable stand point.

I’m not brand loyal at all. I find a vehicle that fits my needs/budget and that’s what I buy. It happens that the last two have been a Ford and a Pontiac, but I’ll probably replace the Ford (Expedition) with a Nissan (Murano) when it comes time to trade. Like Joe mentioned, the Pontiac is questionably in the domestic column anyway.
The whole, “I only buy XYZ country of origin” thing is laughable to me. If you want to greatly limit your options great for you, but I’d rather pick from the entire market.

My bike is obviously foreign, always has been, most likely alway will be.
My car is domestic, honestly that could go either way in the near future.

I go back and forth between import and domestic because both can have great offerings. Some of you really should try out different cars to actually see what you like instead of just owning the same thing all the time and just saying that the other sucks. You’re really missing out on a nice diversity of experiences. IMO you’re not an automotive enthusiast unless you can appreciate it all.

The domestic vs import thing is usually because of track records. If one company has always had reliable solid cars for a 100 years, and another company has had a horrible track record but came out with a new car that _seems_ reliable… that’s where brand loyalty comes in and makes sense.
Not to say all domestics are unreliable and all imports are reliable.

1988 LOL. Although I WISH I knew then what I know now and have both. It would be a cool fleet. It was an inexpensive beginner toy though.

Toyota\>Honda\>Toyota\>Toyota\>Toyota\>Toyota, I still own 4/6.
For work all I drive is Ford, GM, Dodge and they all tried to kill me in some way. Theres something always wrong with them and are in/out of the mechanics on a monthly basis.
Its night/day and I appreciate my cars so much more.
