I like Ford but I am not loyal or blinded.
Whatever car in the market I am looking suits my needs and brings a smile to my face is the one I choose. At the moment I have a focus, some small issues but nothing I can't deal with. Next car, again I will be looking at several makes including Ford (only if the Aussie made can compete with the imported Focus) as the Focus is a damn good car. There are too many other good cars out there to just stick with one make. After my Falcon runs, I won't be going back to Ford for a big car.

No real loyalty here - my last car was a VY SS (quite a good platform) but I thought it was time to try the ford v8 staple again
on the other hand I do still have my first ford - had it since 1993 my user name tells the story : |

i am blinded by loyalty
I like fords I never even consider having a holden when I upgrade. I've had holden's 4 resale but I like fords. Even crappy fords. I like euro stuff too. I prefer merc's to BMW's and I like volvo's. Some holden's drive well but I still buy the ford (even when I know it wasn't the best choice). |

I am certainly blinded by loyalty.... Even when my company gave me a choice as to which company car i could have, I chose a Ford over a 3 series BMW...
When i go car shopping i never dare test out a GM (just in case it tempts me!)... Call it stupidity but i call it "Love of the blue Oval"

Why do so many people buy Toyota when there are obviously way better cars for the same or cheaper price? Its exactly the same as so many other products ..... stereos, mobiles etc. Because the last one suited them and served them well. When someone is regarded as being car biased, its like its the worst thing in the world and you know nothing. I know enough to know that what I want and own suits me perfectly | [/url] |

I've got a 73 cuda, a 68 road runner, and a 70 superbee. All fat block cars. I've never had a hemi, so in saying that, I still love my clevos. if i new i wouldnt get killed, i'd stuff one in a dodge. shape wise, everythings got their cherries, but engine wise, I'm a loyal clevo fan

Holden/HSV have built a business off the back of "brand loyalty"... how else could anyone explain the relative sales success of the VZ and VE ranges?

well i have a mate who is a teldat executive, and he has had his choice of company cars for a while now. he is a holden man, but not a die hard type of guy buy definately leaning to holden. his first company car was a falcon wagon (got 3 kids) and he had no problems with that but he thought that he would buy a commodore wagon next. he got a VZ wagon and it had a buzz in the dashboard at any speed. it drove him crazy, and in the 2 years he had it holden could never find it or fix it. his next company car...Ford Territory. all this one did was the engine went into 'limp home' mode a few times, but its ok.

snappy if my wife was sick i would trade her in, then park the xt in the bedroom. so you may say im a one eyed ford supporter. i recently upgraded to a territory but if ford didnt have the territory on the market i would have just kept the old wagon.

My heart is Ford thanks to Mr Moffat,loved watching him so Blue Oval it was.....till they dropped the V8 !!!!!!! went to GM, had 5 of them so glad I got back 6yrs ago but now I'll buy whatever I feel suits my needs. Loyalty is not what it used to be imo.....
