Well, i KNOW Volvo are some of the BEST cars out there, not to mention the SAFEST, and i KNOW that Fords dont hold their value for shit, my parents own one, not to mention they clunk out and have all different kinds of problems...

Go figure that Ford would want to screw over its home country.

My response to the so called STUDY - Who don't fxxking knew that? Stupid, useless, pointless survey/research. . . . .

I knew most people in general were beyond retarded when it comes to cars, but it's a lot more than I thought!

I mean .... the badge is always what that matters for cars. I guess 99.99% of the world's total car owner judge a car by the brand, which in many sense is totally understandable and somewhat, a good 60% of determining whether the car's good or not whether it's the initial build, aesthetics, and most importantly the availability and price of parts, and the perceived servicing quality.

Brand does matter.

EDIT: If you don't build your car well, it reflects the brand, good example being Mercedes, and the other way round, Skoda.

I would much rather buy a Skoda than a Mercedes...
