What car you prefer?

supercars · 23rd November 2007, 14:37

I love German and American cars.

I love all cars that are big, fast and strong.

determinus · 24th November 2007, 13:48

German all the way. Or European, to be more inclusive. When I retire, my daily ride will be a 1973-1983 Mercedes SL560 Roadster. That's the plan. But for that one needs to do a few things (not necessarily in the same order):

1. Find a good SL roadster
2. Get rich
3. Buy home in Goa

I could hope to get some help on #1 (with V-16 around) and #3 as my wife is from Goa, but the #2 is where, like most people, I am also clueless. Hence the signature :-)

Jap for me.. They are the most practical/easy to own ones in India.

Heart says Italian, Fiat, but limited by choices, so went for a Jap.
If you can't listen to your heart, listen to your head.

american ofcourse. which other companies in the world offer such space, power, styling as the americans.

I would always prefer the GERMANS, over the JAPANESE, because of the fact that, they are innovators unlike the Japanese who happen to be copy masters but really do admit that they do it the best.

I love American cars, mostly their muscle cars and some of their 4x4s. My all time fave is the Corvette, and in 4x4s it has to be the HUMMER H1, the size and capabilities of that beast is beyond compare...

Some more on the list are the Dodge Charger (old & new), Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang, Dodge Viper, Dodge Ram and Jeep Wrangler

I will not put down the other makes down, you got to respect the Germans for their luxury and technology and the Japanese for their economical use of technology...

The Brits and Italians seem to be missing from this list though.

Japanese cars for me, simple reliable and affordable. Now one Nissan Skyline GTR for me please, preferably in blue

BaCkSeAtDrIVeR · 19th February 2008, 13:05

Where is this option:-

"Indian {Tata, M&M, Force, etc]"

redfire · 20th February 2008, 12:35

If I follow the heart then its American - a Dodge Charger or a Ford Mustang (my most fav cars)

Italian - Ferrairs / Lambos

then German - Beemers / Mercs / Por

But with 100% brain, what I can afford and most practical here in India - they are Japs, driving one

Xehaust · 17th March 2008, 02:41

German, for pure driving pleasure and ergonomics.
Bulls to the slightly more expensive spares, they are heavy duty anyway.

visu03 · 17th March 2008, 07:45

I have voted for Japanese. I feel that driving around by myself in India i am looking for a car with

- Reasonable performance
- Good reliability under not so good conditions
- Good FE
- Economical spares

If i am in developed countries my vote would be for Germans.

DHABHAR.BEHRAM · 17th March 2008, 13:53

Simple - My Fiats anyday without any doubt. I drive a Scorpio everyday but always look forward to driving my Fiats. I really wish Fiat India would do better so that I could buy their cars soon.

Best regards,

Behram Dhabhar

Japanese any day for me while in India more reliable and easy. Else would prefer a German car.
