Name a car brand that you have never owned and never would buy?

of the major brands, probably this
I'd probably buy nearly some model from any brand, used, inexpensive, and in excellent condition. Some would be more desirable than others.
I would not buy anything new from most brands. I don't think most brands are making cars I'd want to own since probably 2015 or so. There are exceptions but for the price versus poor quality and too much technology that I do not want, I'd pass. The last few newer rentals left me very disappointed for what they must cost.

I picked up a 2012 Fiat 500 and it’s been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I’m closing in on 200,000. I’m pretty sure I just got lucky
You should check out Kia. The quality of our Optima SXL and Stinger has been outstanding.
Duesenberg, Auburn, Pierce Arrow, Kelvinator Nash, a 1928 Porter (....that's my mother dear, she helps me through everything I do and I'm so glad she's here. My Mother the Car)
Did you buy new and what was the price?
The BOND is a British car manufacture. I had a friend that had a SUPER RARE fiberglass 2 door 4 wheel BOND . I was constantly working on it for him because after all he was my friend. He was invited and returned several times to the Palo Alto Hills prestigious tour d'elegance car show. To which I rode along with duck tape and bailing wire and a religious cross to get it from Santa Cruz and back .We'll get you a Reliant instead. You can't have a Scimitar, though!
I hated everything about it. the doors did not fit correctly the engine was on Lucas electrical drugs...... it handled like Radio wagon and really didn't look appealing in any way. But its rare number ever built made it a pig in a suite at the show.
Bond Cars History (1949-1966)
Bond Cars Ltd History (Sharp's Commercials) Sharps Commercials Ltd was a British car maker. It changed its name to Bond Cars Ltd in 1963. The company was taken over by the Reliant Motor Co Ltd of Tamworth, Staffs in 1970 who quickly closed the Preston factory, transferring the spare parts...
I'll never say never. Every brand makes some decent cars and some garbage. What doesn't interest me right now might later on if my life situation changes.
Example: 10 years ago I would've never bought a BMW. Now I own one as my daily driver.

I'm looking for a new toy and checked out a couple of 124 Spiders for tooling around and mountain trips. I like the look and they're inexpensive. I found one with 11K miles for $23K.I picked up a 2012 Fiat 500 and it’s been the most reliable car I have ever owned. I’m closing in on 200,000. I’m pretty sure I just got lucky
Hyundai/Kia
As a one time proud owner of a 1978 Dodge Colt (rebadged Mitsubishi Lancer), I can confidently state that I'll never own another Dodge/Chrysler/Daimler Benz/FCA/Stellantis product again.

Both new. The Optima MSRP was around $38K and the Stinger was just about $58K. My wife wheeled and deal'd and paid just under $50K for the Stinger. The Optima went to my youngest son.
