Top 3
1. Jeep- love my Grand Cherokee
2. Audi- sexy cars all the way
3. Ford- good old American reliability, I've always had good experiences with Fords

Bottom 3
1. Mitsubishi- don't they make TV's?
2. Kia- while I love their commercials, I've never heard of any single person actually clamoring to buy a Kia
3. Subaru- body styles are very grandma-ish
4. Smart Car's- death traps!

1. VW(GTI and R specifically)/Audi/Porsche
2. BMW
3. Mercedes

Wouldn't be caught dead in:

1. any japanese car (just not my thing, styling inside and out is awful, and they are a bore to drive).
2. Prius. Had to single this one out.
3. Subaru

Infiniti's are alright, still not on the level of German cars, especially the interiors.

What a joke! The "interior quality of a Honda"? You mean hard, ugly plastics that are rattle-prone after a few years? I suggest you get back into even basic American cars like the Focus, which is chock full of soft-touch materials, and better fit and finish then even the most expensive Honda. Not to mention how much more advanced the simple Focus chassis is over any Honda. You really, really, really need to get out and experience what the automotive world has to offer.

And FYI, my 2003 Focus is approaching 170K relatively trouble-free miles (TPS sensor went bad, coolant pipe broke, and t-stat housing o-ring leaked everywhere). My Honda and Toyotas were far more troublesome than my Fords have ever been. Keep drinking that Honduh KoolAid!

M56 are nice, but its competition far outshines it, which is typical for Infiniti.

How so? Reviewers constantly put it on par, if not above its competition.
