Poll inspired by Tim's post about luxury cars. Now I'm curious what bubble believers drive: imports? hybrids? best value vehicles (as defined by Consumer Reports, Intellichoice, etc...)?
Do you use the similar reasoning when you buy a car as when you buy a house?
Note: in the poll there isn't nearly enough room to list every make, so I just made some general groupings.

I picked "Standard - Asian" for my 2004 Honda CRV. Love Hondas and Toyotas because they are so reliable. And I need the capacity and ground clearance of the smaller SUV because I drive in the mountains more than I drive in the city. I just couldn't bring myself to get one of the larger SUVs because of the (lack of) gas mileage, and I really don't need something that large. My CRV is big enough to sleep in.

Yeah, I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee for many of the same reasons. This is my second Jeep and I've found them to be very reliable. Gas mileage isn't as good as I'd like, but since I need 4x4 and towing capacity it's a good vehicle for me.
Our other car is a saturn, which is good for when we have to do regular freeway driving.

1992 Ford Ranger. It's reliable, has four wheel drive, gets decent mileage (~20mpg), and is cheap to insure. My daily driver though is a metro bus.
