I've only heard of Land Rover from that list. Mine would be Chrysler, not because it's a good brand, only because my car (a.k.a The Hoopty) is a Chrysler.

This also :P

I like Land Rover and Mistibushi Lancers.
Even the most recentish Ford Focus seems rather appealing, and the Honda Civic Type-R
Audi have a good style going for them and I like the look of the http://www.audir8carhire.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/audi-r83.jpg the best.

Looks like someone here plays Forza haha.

Anyways my favorites:

Chevy
Mercedes-Benz
Lamborghini
Ferrari
Porsche
Panoz
Bugatti
Nissan (GT-R/Skyline)
Mclaren
TVR
Lotus

I have way more favorite cars and car manufacturers than this, but these are my top. To be honest, I could probably list 1 car that I really like from almost every manufacturer outside those that make 1-3 cars, even some of those would make that list though. A number of pre 1990s manufacturers also wouldn't be on that list.

I (if you are referring to me) wish I played forza. Instead of course, silly me bought a PS3 instead of an xbox. I do play Gran Turismo though. Forza is the only xbox exclusive I'm jealous of.

5c3j9r7productions,

I'm surprised I didn't see General Dynamics Land Systems (IAV Stryker) - Canada, on your list. I mean, you'd definitely need one for your trips into Afghanistan. ;)

And your list definitely sounds like a Forza list. C'mon, pick some vehicles that are practical for the everyday mope.

Mine are:

Dodge/Chrysler - I've owned several Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth vehicles. I currently own a 1999 Dodge Dakota that needs around $3k worth of front end work.
Subaru - I've owned a 1990 Subaru Legacy LS and have always wanted a new one.
Hyundai - 2010 Accent
Ford - Used to hate them, but now they turn out some kickass trucks.

I want that Japanese computer In the dashboard to speak in a cute female Japanese voice. And I'd run my fingers over the console and press the buttons ever so gently. And as James May i'd brush and clean ever air vent and nick and cranny.

Yeah. Who'd need a girlfriend when you have a GT-R? lol

I knew I'd forget one. Audi. I think it can make my list as it has a few cars that I enjoy.

Many years of the S4. RS 4, RS 5, R8 and the newer TT RS.

That's not a car. It's a flying tank. Ugly as sin but can take a beating and deal some serious punishment. One of my favorite aircraft.

I like cars that are affordable for the normal person whilst at the same time being very well made and perform well.

Honda, Ford, VW, Toyota are pretty much the best for people like me.

Audi, BMW, Mercedes for people with slightly heavier wallets

The Jaguar E-Type, soft-top convertible in British Racing Green is the greatest car ever made.
