1. Once a Volvo owner (first in the early 90s - changed four since), always a Volvo fan.
2. If not Volvo, then Audi, BMW, Mercedes, in that order
3. If none of the above available within a desirable price range, then Japanese, S.Korean, or French
4. If none of the above, then Mustang (Ford)
5. If none of the above, then maybe a Tesla, once the present executive leadership departs, and environment for engineering quality prevails
Same as anything else "Chinese" related. If the executives support the engineering talent and manage the business in favor of quality products - I could really care less.
