Allllllrighty then. I haven't gone on a poll (or pole) bender in a while, so what better to entertain ourselves this weekend than voting on all that makes Americans American! Let me know if you have any poll suggestions...I'll start it or take the chance and do it yourself!

For starters...

Chevrolet
Ford
Dodge


Which one is your favorite, or do you have one?

Are you loyal to American automobiles or buy foreign?

When it really comes down to it, I'm a Chevy girl. No major brand-hatred toward Dodge or Ford, I just tend to lean toward Chevys.

My dad was a HUGE Dodge guy though. I don't think he's owned an automobile in my lifetime that wasn't made by Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep.

I'm not particularly loyal to American brands. One of our vehicles is a Chevy Cavalier and the other is a Toyota Tacoma.

i think the quality of american cars is inferior to some foreign makes, my wife has a honda accord case in point, but I am 6 ft 2 and have a darn hard time fitting into alot of them.

I have a saturn and so far have not had any major problems with it. My first choice was a accord but the recent redesign made them smaller than the bosses 2000.

I am currently looking into the toyota solara sports coupe and the prius hybrid, though i am afraid i will fall in love with either or both and find out I can't fit in either lol

I voted for the Chevys. The weird thing is everytime I watch a nascar race I find myself cheering for the ford or dodge drivers. BTW I drive a chevy

No Preference... Sorry :oops:

I only drive foreign... Honda's or Toyota's... 3 Reasons... Gas Mileage, Longevity, Safety Ratings

Hope I'm not considered "unpatriotic" in this poll... just remember even though foreign makes, they're still manufactured in U.S. plants by U.S. workers

and Alan - my old girlfriend drives a Solara convertible... plenty of room up front with a lil adjustment to the seat (course then your in the backseat) but as far as headroom I believe you would be ok... I REALLY REALLY like them :D
