I don't consider myself "brand loyal". I always buy Ford, GM or Chrysler products but I don't kid myself - cars are built "globally" now and have been for many years. There are actually quite a few suppliers here in Michigan that make parts for all the "other" makes of cars, so I quit looking sideways at people who drive them. Visit any junkyard and you will see most of them stacked three high after 10 years or so regardless of the make anyway.

I collected plenty of Antique makes over the years but finally got what I really wanted; a Ford V-8. That car and my Harley share the garage while the newer Ford and Chevy sit out.
