Amusing that childish fanboyism normally reserved for things like Mac vs. Windows, AMD vs. Intel, PS4 vs Xbox, etc... has now spread to the car industry.

Hasn't that been a thing with car fans for longer than any of your examples exist?

It’s the exact opposite. Fanboyism was much stronger in cars and always has been. Before any of those companies exist.

Ford vs Chevy trucks. No car like Mopar. Think of the muscle car heydays of the 60s and 70s.

It's been here a long time. Every car sub I subscribe to on Reddit is chock full of Toyota fanboys.

People will fanboy about anything. It's our tribalistic nature.
