Why so much passion to defend any particular marque?

I too used to own contis but I don't fawn over them and worship them as if they were problem free. I had really tough luck with the rides I used to have [Jags/Bimmers/Mercs] and even my current ride Myvi had the infamous fuel pump issues.

There is no perfect ride out there, be it USDM, JDM, MDM, Conti cos as car lovers, we appreciate every single marque. I do admit the Peugeot 3008 is a very handsome car indeed! Then again, I have seen a colleague who used to have it [1st gen 3008] then end up moving to get a new Honda HRV instead...

Anyways, point is - every car will have its fair share of good times and bad times
