What is it that you love about your favourite brand
We all, most of us here, have a favourite brand. Many will know that I am a strong and often avid supporter of BMW. I'd like to start a conversation on what exactly it is that has captivated and kept your strong inclination towards your most favourable brand.

Is it the heritage, the philosophy, the design characteristics, the engines, or even just the pleasure of driving the vehicle?

Who on earth would build a four-door coupe that looks like a dream? –Mercedes-Benz

Who would put a V12 612hp engine in a sedan with unmatched performance? – Mercedes-Benz

Who would go back and build a retro car of the Gullwing and have it look like perfection? –Mercedes-Benz

Who for several years would build a Sedan that cost up to $200k and still sell more Full-size sedans then any Automaker on earth? – Mercedes-Benz

The list could go on and on. Mercedes –Benz has also had some classic designs. The S-class is one of the most powerful looking sedans on earth with remarkable engineering and technology. Mercedes-Benz entire line has never looked so good. They are never afraid to build a car that people want. They don’t make excuses they make it happen. Other companies build concepts when they build production cars.

I can think of a company other then Mercedes-Benz that I like their entire line up of cars offered in the US. Every single one of their cars is remarkable.

The cars that made me love BMW were classy, evil, badass, cool, original, supremely well engineered, snob, different...those cars were just in a world of their own.

I doubt it. If everyone just answers the question of why they love their brand, then it shouldn't be a problem.

All right, I'll play.

Audi has been my favourite brand for some time now. Perhaps the most important reason is that I feel that their cars embody what in my opinion is the essential 'German-ness' in a way that supersedes that of Mercedes and BMW. By this I mean designs which are 'just right' - ageless and understated with a hint of aggression and have a general impression of solidity.
