OT: Brand associations

Uh.. Kate... You think of the FoMoCo Mercury Cougar when you think of Chevy/Pontiac?

Ford: Mustang, F-150/250 pickups, conversion vans

Chevy: Corvette, Duramax diesel pickups

Dodge: Ram pickups, Viper

For me the very first Ford I think of is the Mustang. I might also think of Explorer, since I own one of those too.

For Chevy I think of Corvette, and the classic 57.

For Dodge/Plymouth I think of the old Superbird. I might also think of the Viper pretty quickly too.

I love my car, but will always have a special affection for the 60s and

70s muscle cars. In my opinion, more than any other time, those cars had individual identities and personalities. With their wild colors and radical combos of engine and trannies, that was a great time. Wish I couldn't been old enough to be involved with it. This last paragraph is a bit OT, but I just felt like sharing it.

We're living in a world that's been pulled over our eyes to blind us from the truth. Where are you, white rabbit?

Chevy--Vette, Camero, 409 Impala, 57 Chevy Bel Air

Mercury--Cougar. Turmpike Ctuiser

Dodge--Super Bee, original R/T, Challenger, Ram pickup, SRT4 Neon, Magnum

Don't worry your not the only Granada fan, well actually I like the Monarch a little better. I had a 77 Monarch with a built up 357w and I deflated more than a few Camaro egos. :)

Good for you. ^_^ I only wish I had that chance. Hmmm... someday I'll have my big ol' American Muscle hot rod....

I used to egg my new beetle driving ex about how I would smoke his little red put-put in it one of these days.. then it got junked sadly...

patricia

My exact list!

Iggy add your 2 cents.

It's interesting that the majority of responses associate brands with cars that aren't made anymore.

So what about the current crop? What's the first car (that's currently being sold) that pops into your head when a marque is mentioned? Obviously, Ford = Mustang. But what about Chevy, Mercury, Cadillac, Porsche, MB, BMW, etc?

Joe Calypso Green '93 5.0 LX AOD hatch with a few goodies Black '03 Dakota 5.9 R/T CC

Ford: Mustang - F-2Fitty Chevy: --- umm---Vette I guess. Had to search for it though Didn't GM make that ugly assed SUV too, the one with the huge square back on it?

Mercury: nuthin Lincoln: again, nuthin Dodge: Crossfire & RAM trucks

BMW *sigh* an M series convertible.. just any one would do....

you're picking on me!

Yes the Avalanche, half plastic, bottom half down, one of the all time ugliest vehicles ever made. They also offer the god awful ugly H-2 (Hummer) body mounted on the GM truck frame too... GM really likes ugly bodies...

Actually, I believe the moniker "All Time Ugliest Vehicle" goes to the Pontiac Ass-tek.

And cheesy interiors.

Have to agree with Kate on this.....
