As for me, I am a big fan of GM because they have provided me with good solid, enjoyable vehicles and I see nothing out there to override and replace what I currently enjoy.

My examples and the reason I enjoy GM and will give them first look for a long time to come sit with my current vehicles.
71 Camaro RS Z/28 - love it in every way
72 Skylark Convertible - be solid, smooth, and nothing like those looks from other drivers
Have to say, that driving a classic is nothing that can be replicated in any modern car
87 IROC Z/28 - (wife's dragracing car)
90 Corvette Convetible
95 Camaro Z/28 - started Chevy/GM love
98 Regal GS - come on 217K miles, drives like new, and hey, supercharged winter beater?
99 Silverado K1500 - Hauls both the toys and @$$
02 Corvette - remiinded me today of what a sport car should be

I'm not saying that there aren't other worthy makes and models out there, but since I have never been disappointed, I will give GM the nod in a tie or close choice.

As for Ford, I have watched them get better and better. They may not be my first choice but I truly hope they continue to improve and help raise the bar.
