Which car maker attracts the worst fans?

[Luciferous]

This is just to say which car makers you guys think attract the worst fans, either because they're arrogant or blinded by passion or anything. Try not to say anything too inflammatory (like that'll happen) but I'm sure we can all learn something.

I'm only offering the choices of car makes that are available in Australia because A) I wanna see what the results are and I live in Australia so theyre more relevant to me B) There are too many car makers otherwise C) this is the Aussie forums

I guess I'm first so Ferrari get my vote, simply because I reckon a lot of them get a 'holier than thou' approach to cars that gets pretty annoying after a while. I don't mind Ferrari's just a lot of Ferrari fans

BMW's owner think they are "the man" and once ion their bmw they become selfish, drive aggresive and pushy, always park wrong etcetera...you got bmw in australia too right ??

[Luciferous]

Theyre on the poll, yeah

So vote then.

i'll agree with you on that one. without trying to generalize though, ive come across my fair share of arrogant holden fans, who despite "claiming" a broad view of things, will only respect one side of the story...case in point, one of my teachers at school. says the same thing, he respects both ford and holden, BUT at the current time, he believes holden have a far better car. you'd think, alright, maybe he see's something others dont, but EVERYONE ELSE who rates both the BA and VY/VZ, usually have them dead even, or when they split hairs say the VY/VZ can be better for sporty driving, whilst the BA can be better as a "drivers" car, or something easy to live with

Hey I'm guilty of the same thing I 'have a broad view' but I still like Holden better. Simply put I grew up with them and I know enough about them to like the company. But I've met some die hard Ford fans who make me like the company less.

Jaguar attract the older generation

[whiteballz]

ferrari attract almost as much unwanted fanboy attention as the skyline.

so for that i think ferrari.

[Luciferous]

Yeah I figured that there wouldn't really be any Volvo fans on the forums so I didnt put em on the poll

PS I only included car makers which people are feircely loyal to, so no Toyota, Daewoo, Hyundai, Maserati, Rolls, or any other car makers

[fpv_gtho]

so whats Michael Caton and John Laws gunna vote for with no Toyota

[Luciferous]

Yeah I don't think that Toyota inspires the same passion than when....
well i can't really think when Toyota last inspired passion, but maybe when the new Supra comes around...
As long as California gets the job of doin the styling again

[fpv_gtho]

Maybe when the GT-One came so close to winning LeMans those 2 years....they havent exactly aspired with their F1 campaign

[Luciferous]

Yeah its been while since Toyota have been putting out good cars, pity that good cars don't necessarily mean the best selling. Toyota should stop making so much money so they can reassess their products....

Yeah I know that was a dumb comment

[fpv_gtho]

well not exactly, the concept worked with Ford after the AU failed to excite, now we got the BA

their trump card though is theyve got a car for any possible, conceivable market globally. when the adventra and territory were announced, toyota instantly knew the Highlander in the US could easily be brought over here in RHD form and badged Kluger, it had been on sale since like 2000 which is why its interior, other than the usual Toyota problems, doesnt stack up against the territory and adventra

[whiteballz]

i think toyota are a great small car company. they need to go back to rallying though.

like what neal bates has done to that little carolla. spliced it with an old GT4 celica.

Toyota aren't gonna give up F1. You learn too much from it.
