Brand loyalty...
Now I know all of you can't possibly be BMW 4 lifers? What's the story folks?
It's hard to close myself off to all car not BMW's, simply because I'm a car nut, I love cars period. I think to a very large degree however that BMW has the market cornered as far as engineering and performance(capabilities, etc.). Among the brands I hold in high esteem are: BMW, Porsche, Jaguar, Porsche(without a doubt), MB and that's about it. Otherwise it's just particular cars that intrigue me from other brands. |

I am now loyal to BMW but I used to be a Honda fan. I still think Honas are great cars but they are sooo boring in comparison. The only brands I'd consider besides a BMW at this moment would be Porsche and Ferrari.

The S2000 and late-NSX aren't boring. There are so many brands I would consider equal over BMW in terms of purely performance or purely luxury, but BMW has the best balance of price, luxury, and performance imo.

The NSX is way overpriced for what you get. It was cool when it first came out and then they really never changed anything.

I'm looking forward to seeing the euro spec honda civic launch in Geneva late this month/early next month. I'm not a big fan of Japenese cars, bar some Nissans(skyline of course) and Toyota's(Supra). I'd never buy a car from the land of the rising sun though, just not to my taste.

And I can't think of anyone I know that would choose a brand new NSX over anything else, so it isn't perfectly priced. That's why it's being discontinued. I can't wait for the replacement.

Out of the whomb I was an MB fan, thanks to my Dad. When I was 12 I went to the tattoo parlor and got the roundel tatt'd on my left shoulder, and it's been there ever since. All the while though I've been a Porsche loyalist as well.

I still drive everything in the price range before buying, I like to be up to speed with what the competition is producing. but BMW always seems to be the best.
like others have said above, porsche is the only thing currently that could steal my $$ away from BMW |

I'm a first time BMW buyer. I used to hate BMW's because they have this lack of luxury. However, I did a drivers course at the performance center, and I fell in love. They handle really well, and now the cars have better interior styling. I'm a mercedes convert.
