Yes, I'd say so.

Imagine if your family had just bought two Toyotas or something instead. Were you guys poorfag as fuck and just recyled through unreliable shitboxes every two years?

Literally only Toyota that we still have till this day, because my dad was smart enough not to buy some cheap korean POS or American turd.

ugh, BMW when I was 3
then a renault and another BMW when I was 4
BMW and a toyota when I was 7
then a Subaru and the same BMW from when I was 3
then a Suzuki
and now a Toyota and a a Mercedes

can kinda see why I like BMWs and Subarus

Nissan

Correlation? Yes I'd say. I can't stand rusty shitboxes

They owned just about everything at some point but Subaru, Mazda and Chrysler. The only brand that stood out to me as being absolute utter crap was GM products. Never heard so many problems and complaints, as I recall.

I don't really have a favorite, when it comes time to buy a new car, I do the research and see what's best and what's not. I will say that over the years, Chrysler has been consistently bad. Avoid.

>Were you guys poorfag as fuck and just recyled through unreliable shitboxes every two years?
Nice projection. My father's work had us move around a few times and we weren't always able to bring cars with us, so we ended up selling and buying different ones once we got to our new home.
First Mazda traded in for the second Mazda. Second Mazda got sold in a move.
First Chevy got sold in a move, second Chevy was a project me and my dad tackled when I was a middle schooler and we sold it.
First Nissan was totaled in a crash we weren't at fault for, and replaced by second Nissan which got sold in a move. Third Nissan was also sold for a move.
First Honda was totaled in another incident, replaced by second Honda which also got totaled (neither of these were our faults either), and the third replaced the second and was sold in a move.
Mitsubishi was the only POS that crapped out on us, and even then, it was perfectly fine until the day it threw a rod.
Both Subaru's were bought after our last move. I believe they still own them, but my younger brother drives one of them now, and my mom has since purchased another.

3 Renault
1 Chrysler
1 Seat
1 Peugeot
1 Skoda

Certainly explains why I prefer european manufacturers.

Yes, I'm a brand loyalty cuck and proud of it.

Not while I was growing up, but before I was born, my father used to race Honda motorcycles.
I've only owned Honda motorcycles in my 8 years of riding, and there was no correlation, because he didn't let me own bikes when I lived in the house, and never talked about them with me.

No, never had any problems with any of their cars that would sway my opinion. Though my Ford had an issue less than ever 3000 miles, it didn't really sway me away, just to be more careful.

I am an 80's Toyota fanboy.

my father owned golf 1 gti with bodykit, then he died and my mother drove it until it rusted away beyond salvation

i surely got influenced by that: i have a huge boner for 80's hot hatches now, and if i'd have a chance to get real mk1 gti like my father one, i would be willing to sell everything i have and eat rocks for years just to get it

Sorry for your loss. That sounds really comfy and I hope you can make it happen.

Ford Taurus SHO
Camaro z28, like 25th anniversary edition or some shit.
Mazda 3

Dad was a Nissan tech and owned exclusively Holdens, Nissans and Fords before I was born.

I share my love for Mitsubishis from him, they're our family's most loved car brand.
I got him into Lexus/Toyota.
Secretly love a lot of Euros which would probably have me shot if he knew.

2 of my BMWs are wagons kek

my dad is a hardcore murica fag and the only cars he ever bought were gmc, Cadillac, Chevy, and poniac

Toyota is more or less the family business. My grandfather was a business manager at Lexus for a while, and I'll probably work at Toyota after college. The last car he helped market before retirement was the LFA.

For Dodge trucks, definitely. I always loved that first gen and still do to this day.

My family had

I don't have favorite manufacturers but in general, probably Subaru, BMW, Volvo, and Porsche. So no correlation at all.

No my parents where never car enthusiast or cared about cars in general kek
>1 Acura

My favorite was when my mom used to have a sky blue late 80's Acura integra LS
And no correlation I don't like boring cars like they seem to and I mostly like 80's-90's jap shit bonus points if you guess my family's race

>1 Fiat

I like some Mazdas and BMWs so maybe there's a correlation. But the BMWs they had were shit. The only 3 cars worth mentioning from the above are the 3rd gen 'lude, 9000 turbo and NB

>Family owned

>96 Chevy Venture (Mom's then Dad's)
>2000 Saturn L200 (Mom's then sister's)
>2005 Saturn Vue (Mom's)
Then I ended up with a 96 prelude. Dad now drives a FJ Cruiser and Mom drives a Scion xB. Sister has an 06 Mazda 6. Currently own a 2016 Miata. Family's trust in GM died with Saturn.

>dad: Nope, I only buy merrican
>dad again: well shit I have to pay 2k to fix my cherokee

dumbass should have bought an rav4 or a crv

5 BMWs
1 Acura
1 Volkswagen
1 Chrysler (Although I have no memory of it whatsoever)

I've liked BMWs as long as I can remember, and my first car was a used E36. I also enjoy old Nissans and Alfas.

2 Fords
2 Nissans
3 Hondas
1 GMC truck
now 2 BMWs

Three Acuras, one Infiniti, two Lexuses, one Jeep. I like Japanese, and Chrysler is really the only American brand I pay attention to. I know FCA a shit, but they look so much better than their competition. So, yeah, there's correlation.

We've had two Mazdas through the 80s and 90s, two Toyotas from 2003 til 2013 and currently a GMC and a Nissan.

Pretty sure my dad's next car will be a Toyota again, he always preferred them.

For me it's GM/Opel/Chevrolet, Fiat and Honda

Answer: Nope

Parents had:
Honda Civic EG
Honda Civic EK
Honda Civic EK
Honda Accord CL1
Honda Accord CL7

Maybe a correlation with VW and Porsche, not sure though

Unlike most people here, my family didn't go through cars as much, nor did we have brand variation. My mother's side was all Chrysler and my paternal grandparents (father is an only child) drove Fords.
I don't have any preference to any specific brand.

Nothing wrong with buying American. He just bought the worst American manufacturer that's all

How does your father feel about his weeb son?

Same, my family had
>early 90's teal f150
>2000 ford windstar
>2006 dts they still have now, 9 years later

I think they are thinking about buying some buick crossover soon though. Dads back is fuckered and getting in and out of crossovers is easier than cars.

I like
>gm muscle, especially 80s camaros/firebirds
>jdmtyte rhd cars
>mini-trucks, regardless of brand

Mostly Ford's, Some Chevy's, Cadillac's, 3 Mercedes' and 2 Toyota's, Nissan's and 1 Dogde.

I like Ford, but i'm slowly growing disappointed in the brand.

OP here. It didn't help that 7 years of my life were spent in Japan. Could be a possible correlation there too.

1 Buick
2 Toyotas
1 Chevy
3 Honda's

Currently have one of the Honda's and one of the Toyotas (09 Civic and 99 Aristo)

Family:
7 chevys (nova, cavalier, lumina, trailblazer, 3 different silverado 2500s)
1 Ford (mustang)
2 Buicks (Grand National and 2014 regal)

Me:
2 Chevys (El Camino, trailblazer)
1 Scion (xA)
1 Ford (Fiesta ST)

My favorite: Ford I guess, since i actually dropped money on a FiST

Correlation: No, other than my domestic fetish.

My dad worked for Holden and then Mercedes for years while I was growing up, pretty high up in the company too. Always had brand new clubsports and E-Class drive cars and shit.

He now own his own dealership and drives a Mustang and an X6. Really makes you think.

>Correlation?
Yes, my first car was a 1993 Corolla and my second and third cars were AW11s. I still have my third car but I'm getting my fourth which is a WRX in WRB.

I like things that just work but I also like when people try things that haven't been done before.

Volvo and Toyota are in fact among my favorite brands, as far as I know they've always been flawlessly reliable in my family apart from routine maintenance.

Weirdest shit ever. My family drives almost entirely domestic shitters besides my brother with his lemon Jetta TDI. Extended family all domestics with one side being all hyundai.

Nobody has ever owned or even looked at Japanese vehicles. Not a single Subaru, Mazda, Toyota or Honda anywhere.

Because I have an 8th gen accord coupe my family thinks i have some sort of exotic import luxury car that's expensive to maintain, requires premium fuel and will chug fuel from it's power.

From when I was born to like 8 my parents both drove a Mitsubishi diamanté. One sedan one station wagon. My dad has switched cars from then on all over the place but ironically a sedan when he works in construction and like 95% of people drive trucks

He's switching to a new car now and I told him to maybe get a Subaru or some other little AWD since he loves that style of 4 seaters, low to the ground, but most little cars are shit for the field.

Aw fuck here we go:

Nope, not seeing a correlation.

Ok here we go, my mother doesn't drive so here are my father's cars:

VW Golf II Diesel (NA)
Opel Ascona C GT 2.0
Renault Clio I 1.2 (one hell of a downgrade from the Ascona, still can't understand why he bought this)
Opel Astra F 1.6
Citroën Xantia 1.8 16V
Citroën Picasso 2.0 HDi 90 (tarbo'd diesel / 90hp to pull 5 persons and luggage: wtf are you doing daddy)
Peugeot 307 2.0 HDi 110
Peugeot 407 1.6 HDi 110

I don't really have a favorite manufacturer, every single one has been pumping out turds at one point or another. Though I love sedans, especially comfy cruisers from Citroën and Mercedes. I also like BMWs up to the E39, and some Peugeots as a more reasonable option

I guess yes, there is a link. He made me hate people carriers and cars that are too small to be practical to carry 4 people and their luggage on a trip. And diesel, fuck diesel. I don't see myself in anything other than a petrol sedan/wagon.
Current car: Citroën Xantia 1.8 16V, everything you could wish for as a student, but holy shit that acceleration starts to feel painfully slow
Next one: depending on the market, maybe an E55 AMG, or 530i E39 to be more reasonable, or a V6 Citroën C5 to be even more reasonable.
