What kind of car do you drive?

[andyzee]

Toyota 4Runner/ Toyota Corolla

 

[mlctvt]

We have 5 cars and they are all from Japanese companies. 2 of them are American made with more American content than most "American" cars.

Interesting that the Toyota Camry is the top "American" car.

I have a Subaru right now, but most of my past cars have been European. A couple VW's, a Saab, a BMW, and a Volvo.

My 'to the mountain and tow the boat' car is a Mountaineer V8 AWD

My daily driver is a VW GTI

 

[severine]

98 Chevy Blazer. I've flip-flopped back and forth between Volkswagens (85 Jetta, 86 Jetta, 86 Cabriolet, 97 Cabrio) and Jeeps (86 Grand Wagoneer, 79 Cherokee, 78 Cherokee), then settled on this one for the "family vehicle." Had it for almost 7 years now. Nice not to have a car payment. Though I still miss my Cabrio...

I had a red 2001 before this one. I sold it with 145,000 miles on it. It had one $800 turbo plumbing repair at ~105,000 but was otherwise mechanically solid.

Cars are appliances that I drive until they have too many miles for me to feel comfortable distance winter driving in them. I don't name my cars.

I probably have 4 more years before the next car. I'd really like to drop down to one car.
My ideal car would be a GTI wagon optioned out with Xenons, 2.0T gas engine, DSG, 4Motion, sunroof, and leather. I'd like to have the Ford combination lock on the drivers door so I don't need to carry car keys skiing and on the boat.

Nissan Xterra(2000): Japanese design, but maybe American manuf/assembled..?
Honda Accord(1992): Japanese design/manuf./assembled(I think...may have to scan owner's manual)

 

[Nick]

The japanese are taking the lead! (although if I had to put in Mitsubish, my wifes car, I woulda had to have voted that way too)

 

[WJenness]

2004 Audi A4.

Love it.

Next car will probably be one of the new S4s when they start coming off lease...

If they put the 3.0T in the S5, I'd get that... but I can't justify the gas mileage with the V8, even though I love the look of the S5.

Interesting that the Toyota Camry is the top "American" car.

Except for the engineering, accounting, supply chain management, etc. jobs. You know, the ones that pay well. No way the Camry is really the most American car, the half ton trucks probably are given that no other country buys them so none of the Euro/Asian design departments have anything to do with them.

Let other countries take the minimum wage factory line assembly jobs, I'll take the high skill ones.
