    Imports mostly. And obviously domestic for a truck (Chevy), and maybe the Honda Ridgeline, I love those.

    imports, and specifically japanese imports for reliability, value, and these days even looks.

    domestics for rental cars.*

    *except for Dt's yellow gas guzzler. because its sick, and because it has a magic exhaust.

    I have a soft spot for domestic muscle but I chose imports for their practicality.

    BTW, it's funny when people say import and people mention things like cost and gas mileage (in reference to midline Japanese imports). Remember all those monstrous, gas sucking, luxo'ed taxed Mercs, Lambos, Ferrari, etc., are imports too

    To be honest I don't think in terms of domestic vs. import (Japanese, European or otherwise) - I think in terms of *specific* models I like and don't so much worry about the manufacturer (though there are a few companies like Lexus, that do almost no wrong in my book).

    There are a whole slew of *classic* American hotrods that have no equal: Mustang GT-390, '63 Corvette split window, '32 Ford, etc., etc.

    I don't think there's any domestic luxury class vehicle I would own. I'd likely do a 5-series or LS/GS class (I had a GS in fact).

    For 12,000+ lb towing, domestic turbo diesels, period.

    Full sized trucks (not in the aforementioned towing class), love the V8 powered Japanese offerings.

    Just hard to pin down a 100% commitment for one over the other

    i drive an import because i'm poor but all my dream cars are domestic and both my parents drive domestic (f250, yukonxl). If you want big, it's a no brainer to get domestic, but for under $10,000, I choose import for reliability. Subaru ftw.
