My wife drives a Lexus GX, beautiful suv. But I own a 2010 4 wheel drive Dodge Ram Club Cab with a thirsty 13 MPG Hemi. Yes, 60 bucks at least to fill up every week, but you pwn everyone when you drive it.
Needless to say, Iam a Dodge guy through and through.

Well, speaking as a red white and blue american I would say Ford. I agree with the other responder who said Ford was the only company who remained assistance free during a time when the other two of "the big three" were scrambling for a life preserver. Although conservative spending like not sponsoring a pavilion at epcot might have something to do with that.
Speaking as someone who has driven one and looking at what they could potentially do to jazz up the attraction with their considerable engineering abilities and resources I am going to say BMW. Go ahead and flame away if you like but there is my $0.02.

I used to own a Dodge truck until the trany went out of it. Huh immagine that. Bought a Ford F150 4WD and love it.
FORD is my vote

I've owned several Dodge Rams that have had thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of issues. I still prefer them over any vehicle on the road, its the way they look that does it for me.

No Cadillac on the list huh? Well they are under GM anyway... So I'd probably go Mercedes or Audi
All it takes to fill up that truck is $60?? It takes me $80, but that might be because gas is pretty pricey here.

I've never been a big fan of Ford products, but I am impressed with their management right now, so my vote goes to them. Personally, though, I would love to see Dodge in there.
Regardless, of who the sponsor is, I think it could be done sooo much better, and could even serve as a real advertising platform for a car maker, if it were improved upon. The current version just feels like it was done in the 1980s.

Interesting idea but I doubt if a start-up car company with 18 dealerships nationwide has anywhere near the cash resources to spare for sponsorship of an attraction of this magnitude. I agree it goes along with the theme of Futureworld but companies like this just do not have enough "fluff" in their operating budget to even turn the lights on in a Disney pavilion.

Agreed... Does anyone know what goes into sponsoring an attraction? I have always been intrigued by the "Numbers" it takes to keep Disney going.

idk but it'd be nice for metlife to sponsor a pavilion again, just like they did for Wonders of Life.. wait.. was it the company or disney who never kept wonders of life updated?...I might need to think this out again...:lookaroun

I think the VAG family of car companies(VW,Audi,Seat,Bugatti,etc.) would be best. They have the most diverse lineup of cars and are a growing company both nationally and internationally. I know they are not an American company but who is any more. This is a global economy
