When you where young, why did you buy FORD?

Personally, as a small child I loved the XD/XE and would always point and tell mum that's what I'm gonna drive. When I came to be 18, out of pure coincidence a family member was selling a one owner XE (in poo brown) for a great price. Once I got tinkering with it, I felt very comfortable that I could maintain my own car. When it rusted away I bought an XY, then an XF etc etc.. so I guess I'm one of those stubborn buyers sticking to what I know and honestly have never compared or contemplated a Commo. Even buying the new FG.. into the dealer, test drive, choose the colour and interior.. deal done. What SV6?? Never even thought of it, maybe I'm missing out?? Who knows..

So in contrast to the question of why young drivers prefer commodores more predominitely then fords. Why did you choose ford when you where younger?
And if you didn't, why not?

For me
Ford Family. Dad owns a Mustang, we had a 351 XF when i was kid, hell we even had a bloody 96 Taurus
And me being young and needing a car, obviously it was going to be ford, cause i just loved em by then!
And the XC was just there at the right time when i was looking for XA-XC and for the right price!
