My brand loyalty extends to driving Chevy (or at least GM) almost exclusively, but I'd never even consider pushing it on someone else. Mum drove a Ford for years; I wouldn't drive her car, mostly because it was a Tempo and didn't suit me in the slightest, but I wasn't about to rag on it. I tease my girlfriend when I end up having to drive her Toyota Camry, but when she asked me seriously what car I thought she should get I told her she could drive whatever she likes.

I have my loyalties, which generally extend from some logical reasons. I prefer Chevy because I've found they make consistently superior products. I don't like Fords because I haven't liked driving any of them and I find them difficult to work on. I ride Harley's because I prefer a cruiser style bike and have found that they tend to be reliable, powerful and comfortable to ride. These are my preferences, however I'm not going to push them on anyone else. That's just egotistical.
