I wonder what the list would look like if you removed trucks from the equation. I'm actually surprised that Mazda is not on the list.

Trucks outsell cars 2 to 1in the USA. It's the most important category for sales.

Ford would still be #1 judging from this quote in that article.

And, somehow, the F-150 isn't even the vehicle that inspires the most loyalty. A full 56% of all Ford Fusion buyers buy another Ford and 55% for Ford Flex owners, 54% for Ford Edge drivers and more than 50% apiece for folks with a Ford 500, Fiesta, Escape or Focus in their parking space.

How does this happen? Easily. Ford ran a tight ship, negotiated with its union, didn't go bankrupt, didn't take a bailout and didn't stumble during the recession. As a result, it's the most beloved car brand in the country. When you make a decent product and don't let the consumer down, it increases the odds greatly of being rewarded for your efforts down the road.

I must admit I am apart of this statistic lol. I own two mustangs, one 2010 ford focus, and one 2014 ford fusion. My brother has a mustang, and my parents have 3 ford trucks and 6 mustangs. There are other cars out there we like, but it's hard to move away from a brand you have had nothing but great cars from. None of them have let us down. Some have needed repairs, but it's pretty rare and not usually Ford's fault.
