I cannot understand Grandpa's taste in cars

He likes BMW Z8 but not Toyota Supra

He likes Ford Mustang Mach 1 but not Dodge Charger

He likes Mercury Cougar XR7 but not Chevy Chevelle SS

That doesn't make his answer wrong @DEEM , unless you provide an example that's counter to this. It's not like it's wildly unreasonable. I don't think he should be downvoted.

Then there could be similar answers that say : He likes the cars that start with B,F and M and not T,D and C. BTW I did not downvote any answers.

Sure but again, it's not an unreasonable answer. Just an ambiguous puzzle.

Partial:

My initial thoughts were that he liked cars to do with animals.

A MUSTANG is a breed of horse.

A COUGAR is a big cat.

However, the BMW Z8 is where this theory falls flat, unless the Z means a ZEBRA...

Partial answer

My first guess is

that your grandpa liked the brand Ford since mercury was founded by
Edsel Ford but that didn't tie together to the BMW.

My second guess was

that your grandpa was around during the first/second world war and he liked the car brands that drove around back then and just translated that to current versions of that brand.

BMW made cars (and military armaments) for the Germans and Ford made
(mainly) jeeps for the British. Mercury didn't have an active record
for that time, however.

Third guess is

driving comfort.

The bmw Z series is catered for comfort for its user where as the
Toyota Supra is catered more towards performance. Same goes for the
mercury and the chevy. Not for the Mustang though.

Partial:

My initial thoughts were that he liked cars to do with animals.

A MUSTANG is a breed of horse.

A COUGAR is a big cat.

However, the BMW Z8 is where this theory falls flat, unless the Z means a ZEBRA...

that your grandpa liked the brand Ford since mercury was founded by
Edsel Ford but that didn't tie together to the BMW.

My second guess was

that your grandpa was around during the first/second world war and he liked the car brands that drove around back then and just translated that to current versions of that brand.

BMW made cars (and military armaments) for the Germans and Ford made
(mainly) jeeps for the British. Mercury didn't have an active record
for that time, however.

The bmw Z series is catered for comfort for its user where as the
Toyota Supra is catered more towards performance. Same goes for the
