Simple question. This isn't looking at a manufacturer who made 2 epic cars and instantly being the best, this is the manufacturer with the most good cars, a consistently good brand over the many many years of automotive history.
Personally, going to have to go with Volvo. Over the years they've made some epic cars, and they're always just.. well, good. I remember as a child my parents having a 200 series and it was just indestructible. Then you have the 850, v70r, c30 polestar etc etc..
I'll just leave these here..

mk4 rsturbo
mk4 cosworth
seirra cosworth & sapphire & XR4x4

I have to say Ford also. Older Fords being MUCH better than the newer ones mind you.
Also, I LOVE Mark Huxleys Volvo. (The drifty one)

Although i'd never have one, i'd probably say nissan. Very similar range to ford with less rust and more interesting top end cars.

Volvo is up there for me! They do make some bloody lovely car. Second to that, i would say Aston Martin. Don't think they have made a single car which i haven't thought was fantastic looking and sounding!

Short ratio box + 2L NA=win.
There's no brand that I like particularly, although I go by the shape of the car more. I like the classic saloon shape, not too fussy lines, a real "box" car if you will.

I've owned an 850 T5-r saloon and an 850 T5 estate (mapped) and they are brilliant.
Don't get an auto though, spoils it...

My dad had a V6 Alfa 75, sounded absolutely pornographic tbh.
I'm trying to think of a company that've just kept churning out good stuff, but it seems there's nowt that tickles my pickle much after 2000. Jaguar's new stuff is pretty epic, had a chat to the head vehicle engineer for the F-Type project, and heard him rev the tits off the V6S, one of the best sounding cars of all time, ever.
Nissan are up there for me, for having cars for the longest span of years I'd like to own.

Honda are great, but only do one thing well, and that's scream your ass off at 9500rpm...
I love a good Honda, but I don't think I could live with one every day, it'd become a bit tiresome.
