Don't be a fool. Branding on cars is a meaningless as it is on bikes. When you pay for a Honda or Toyota, you are paying extra for reputation (or "heritage"). You are better off buying a cheaper "dark horse" car, such as a Hyundai Elantra. Its basically just as good as a Toyota but cheaper due to its lesser reputation. You could say that Hyundai is like the BD of cars, but not really, because, unlike BD, Hyundai didn't buy someone else's heritage. Hyundai is more like the IRO of cars.
