The car brands I would most like to test drive are Maybach, Lambo, Bugatti and Ferrari.
Some of the brands I have not driven, and I am not going to remember them all and therefore I'll list the ones I do remember:
All the real expensive ones: Lambo, Ferrari, Maybach, Bentley, RR, Pagani, Aston Martin, Maserati, Bugatti
Of the mainstream cars these come to mind:
Lexus
Infiniti
Acura
Seat
Skoda
Kia
Hyundai
Fiat
Citroen
Daihatsu
Proton
Perodua
Tata
And of the older great ones that would be nice to have back and try them out:
Packard
Studebaker
Duesenberg
Another couple of "smooth rides" that I remember as Taxis long ago:
Volga
Pobeda
And not such smooth rides, but would be nice to see them again:
IFA
Moskvitch
Edit: Forgot a couple of important brands that I'd like to see back: Horch, Wanderer, and maybe also DKW (even though in more recent history DKW just changed it's name to Audi in the 60s ) to live alongside with Audi

Hmm, looking at the lists here it seems I'm just about the only one here to have driven a Seat, Skoda, Kia, Hyundai, Fiat and Citroen.
Add Volkswagen, Opel, Volvo, Nissan, Audi, Subaru, Chrysler, BMW, Ford, Honda, Jeep, Mitsubishi, Peugeot, Rover and Saab and that should be a just about accurate list of what I have driven. As for what I would like to drive - just about every other brand in the world, with of course the more exclusive ones at the top of the list. | | | | | The Photo Phanatic

It's crazy, I know, but it is so. Even my driving school didn't have a BMW, they used VW's and their most expensive driving school car was an R32 used for Autobahn training (no lie!). <-- I've driven that.
