What if you could only buy new vehicles from one brand to fill your garage? For fun, we try and see if it’s feasible
Well, more like desirable. The easy part was breaking down the types of cars or utility vehicles we want to have at home. To build our dream garage, we concentrated on our essential needs and this is what we came up with:
We need a sporty car to drive, a family hauler for dad, an executive-style car for mom and an every-day work/tool vehicle. For some brands, it was difficult to select a specific model so we either left one category out or somehow got creative.
To be honest, we skipped some brands like RAM, Genesis, Bugatti and GMC although we’d love to see how quickly we could get a ProMaster on two wheels or cook the brakes on a Yukon XL…
And so, in alphabetical order and for brands sold in North America, here are the cars. Do keep in mind that this was done for fun…
