Mazda is a hard no for me.

Subaru is a maybe.

I like what BMW, Porsche and M-B are doing, to greater or lesser extents. Latest VW models are excellent imo.

All of the above comments are related to aesthetics. Reliability is clearly best with Toyota and Honda or rather Lexus and Acura.

M-B is likely one of the least reliable brands in production today. MB seems to be competing with Land Rover for the bottom ranking.
What about Mazda is a hard no? If anything they are the only Japanese manufacturer making beautiful cars in my opinion.
