I just wanted to get an idea of what people grew up with and compare it with what they drive today.

Where is chrysler? And an option for all of the above?

Chrysler should have been one of the choices. Tom, could you add it to the poll? Also, would it be OK to allow more than 10 choices to polls? I think 20-30 would be good.

As usual, I make an important polling oversight. :o

My family drove almost exclusively GM, but in the 80's got a second hand Toyota, then a new Accord. Never got any Chryslers and rarely got Fords. I suspect many families have gone from GM to Japanese over the last twenty years...

On my own:

72 American Motors Gremlin
74 Buick Opel (German)
74 Honda Civic
72 Datsun B110
86 Honda CRX HF
88 Honda CRX HF
00 Honda Insight

Dad had Fiats and Corvairs. I learned to drive on a 1967 Fiat 850 Coupe.

- 68 Rambler American

I feel sooo old.:D

Considering the Muscle Cars I have had in my life - (plus you can see that I have almost always been a GM man)

___1965 Pontiac GTO – 389CI Tri-Power (360 HP)
___1967 Pontiac Firebird – 400CI (325HP)
___1970 Chevy El Camino SS – 396CI (360HP)
___1970 Buick Grand Sport – 455CI (400HP)
___197? GMC Diablo – 396 (360HP)

and now in a 4 cyl hybrid – you could say I have come a long way. Now instead
of doing a ¼ mile in 11.5 sec I do that same 1/4 mile on EV at 25-30 MPHhttp://greenhybrid.com/discuss/images/smilies/emotikons/angel.gif I don’t know which is more fun – doing the ¼ mile that quick or now pressing the accelerator with what just seems a thought to squeeze out that last little 10th of a MPG.
