Which Automobile brand grows oldest?

There are many different ways to assess which automobile is best.

Well, let us take a different approach. Which cars last the longest as the "Daily Driver?"

Being familiar with Mercedes, I notice older 126 & 124 chassis cars in great shape (80's)

Which Car Brand last longest as a daily driver?
1 - BMW
2 - Mercedes Benz
3 - Toyota
4 - Honda
5 - GM products
6 - Ford products
7 - Chrysler products

Let us define a "daily driver" as a car that is actually driven daily for years and years. Maintenance costs are not considered.

Thanks

You have to vote Mercedes if you count all the taxis worldwide. Ever been to Tangier? You won't see anything other than old stripped down 123s everywhere.

Howdy All,
And if you go to Cuba your vote would have to be for one of the American manufacturers.
