With the Detroit bailout a hot topic, this is timely.

Please note, I'm referring to where the manufacturer of your car is based, not where it's built.

Thus, a Toyota Camry built in Kentucky counts as a Japanese brand.

Feel free to comment on what your NEXT new car will be, too.
 
I'll never go away from the Japanese cars. Not until someone gives me a free BMW.
 
According to one of the guys at work I am "Chevy'd up".

2001 Impala
 
I'm not seeing "it's paid off so I'll drive it, even if it isn't what I want" as an option here
 
I drive a Ford, as does my wife. Our next cars probably will be Japanese brands.

I drive a 2007 Chevy HHR. I've always driven an American car (I've had a Dodge Stratus...which I loved until it broke down on me in the Wal-Mart parking lot in Beatrice, Neb.; a Chevy Silvarado, which has 200,000 miles on it and is still kicking; a Chrysler New Yorker, which had more than 100,000 miles on it when it accidentally caught fire in our driveway and a Buick Century, which got totalled when our psychotic neighbor rear-ended my mother and I driving 50 mph) but I would consider getting a Toyota Prius or another like car that is environmentally-friendly and will get good gas mileage. It won't be for awhile though.
 
Kia Spectra, just so I can look down my nose at Rio drivers.
 
1997 Ford Escort. My grandmother gave me the car. It used to be my aunt's before it was hers.

If I had my druthers, I would probably drive a Toyota.
 
I drive a 2004 Nissan Sentra. With 177,000 miles on it. Hate the car, but it's durable. Before that was an Xterra, Honda Civic, Mazda RX-7, Honda Accord, Nissan Sentra, Mazda B2200 truck, Mazda 323 wagon and a Volkswagen Rabbit. There you go.
 
I drive a 2001 Dodge Durango.

However, I spent an hour or so last week combing each of the Big Three's Web sites for cars/trucks/suvs that I would consider buying. There weren't any (although I'd take a Viper if someone gave it to me).
 
I have a 2000 Chrysler Concorde with 130k miles. My third and definitely last Chrysler, though it's holding up well outside the busted A/C. Wife has a 2005 Ford Taurus.

Our m.o. for cars since getting married has been to buy used American 4dr sedans and drive 'em into the ground.
