What is one brand/company that you are loyal to?

[gorcorps]

Where do your loyalties lie? Have you always bought one brand of car? Would you rather go thirsty than drink Pepsi? Even on smaller things like food and such... the right BBQ sauce is important to some people.

So?

I've been quite loyal in my guitar choices. Everything I've bought for myself has been a Schecter.

Car: Toyota... my last 4 cars have all been Toyota's... all my future cars will all be Toyota's

Drinks: Mountain Dew. Gotta Dew the Dew.. doesn't matter the flavor.

I'm not loyal to anyone. I buy whatever is the best bang for the buck. I see no reason to have any loyalty to any company cus one company never constantly delivers the bang for the buck options or the same quality over time.

My buddy just bought a 2010 Tacoma, and when I get out of school in a semester I'm pretty sure I'll get one too. It's a damn nice truck.

I wouldn't buy cars from a company that covered up it's acceleration problems that caused injuries.

I have a lot of Logitech stuff and I love their customer service, but if something is better/cheaper, I won't keep the loyalty. If it's iffy, a Logitech will probably get the nod, though.

Although i think all my future mice will be Logitech. I love my G5 to death.

Logitech keyboards and mice
Dell monitors

I am open minded, but I always come back to those two companies.

Amazon
Google

what about a company that covers up cars that spontaneously combust?

Very much this.

Love my MX revolution, Harmony remote, and my Dell 3007WFP. These are the only 2 companies off the top of my head that I would say I'm actually loyal too (and DELL only for monitors). However aside from these there are a number of others that always get into the top 5 when I'm considering certain products:

Mobos: ASUS
Hard Drives: Western Digital
Sound Cards: Creative
Cases: Lian Li (although I'm likely not to go with them for my next build)
PSUs: Corsair
Optical Drives: Plextor and LG
Headphones: Sennheiser
HDTVs: Pioneer, Panasonic, Samsung
Receivers: Denon, Yamaha

I'm loyal to Sprint and KY

Another for Logitech, never seem to go wrong with any of their peripherals. If it's cheap, and a logitech, chances are it's pretty much good enough for me.

Wouldn't say I'm loyal, but last 3 cars have been toyotas.

Am also a devout follower to nong shim noodles but can be subject to alternatives.

Market stuff I usually buy some stuff specifically, meat from foster's farms because I think I know their outtake on meat products and ingredients, etc. Once in a while I might mix it up of course, it's no fun eating bologna forever. Oh yeah, soy sauce is 99.9% of the time from kikkoman. Srircha sauce is monopolized by one company so that's that.

All car comapnies are huge mega conglomerations and like other such mega companies (GM,Exon,Wal-Mart etc..) they all have rather iffy track records. This isn't to say they don't make good products but as you point out none of them don't have blood on their hands and some have a lot. And Wal-Mart is just evil.

I'm loyal to Sprint and KY

Interesting combination.

 

[gaidensensei]

Oh yeah I forgot. Almost all my running shoes have been nikes. I don't care about the brand for casual/non-running though.

Also loyal to yamaha instruments (piano) but that's because its how it is.

 

[MotionMan]

Bose, Sony and Monster Cables FTW!!!

You know the sad thing is? There are actual people out there like this. People who would even strongly back up their loyalty.

Same here man, same here. You just can't beat logitech's warranty support.

And I also buy dell monitors because they seem cheap, are fairly good build quality, and I've never seen one fail. My school bought over 100 Dell 24" monitors the past year, and I ended up getting a dual monitor setup with the same model.

 

[gaidensensei]

I think it's safe to say Logitech has a monopoly over the non-bundled peripheral market.

Cheap wouldn't be in my list of reasons to do with DELL. Excellent build quality, features and performance would be.

if it's made in germany it automatically gets preference.

i dunno if i'd choose a Volkswagon over a Lamborgini, if given the choice

Nay, unless you consider "peripherals" an entire market (which is stupid). It has good competitors in most of the things I can think of (Microsoft and Razer being the chief ones - mice, keyboards, webcams). Speakers there are companies like Creative, Altec-Lansing, Klipsch. I'm too tired/lazy to think of more examples.

Why would it be stupid? I wouldn't say they have a monopoly by any means but I have no problem considering t a market. A smaller market sure but a legit one. Hell computer moding is a large enough hobby that there is a market dedicated just to moders and companies that only make moding accessories.

Honda
-my civic was awesome
-my generator works great
-I rented a fishing boat with a Honda engine and it was the easiest thing to start
-my brother had a CBR600 and some other Honda motorcycle, both of which were great

Honda stuff is crazy expensive but it's top notch. If it's something I really really need, I'm willing to pay for reliability. If I ever buy a motorcycle or quad of my own, it will be a Honda.
