There’s always a select few cars from every brand I want to buy, so I can’t answer this 100%.
Audi, except a blue over white B8 S5 coupe 6spd. I feel it’s one of their few cars that has character.
Subaru, except a BRZ limited. AWD is overrated
Aston Martin, except a Rapide S. I’m not a fan of their coupes.

I’m a live and let live kind of enthusiast who loves trying just about everything so there are very few. Let me think...
Saturn. Anything decent that they made could be had under a different brand, and everything that was unique to them was crap. Unreliable and shitty crap. Sure, it was an interesting exercise. But I would never, ever own a Saturn. (Except maybe an Astra, but Opel badges would go on the next day.)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Smart. I’m sure they’re excellent, but I could never live with one on my own. Even in the case of the Forfour, the trouble is that I rarely do city driving and San Francisco is pretty easy even in a giant land-barge like my XC70 so I don’t have any use for a top-heavy little hatch. The Roadster, well, I’d have a Boxster or something instead. (or a MR2, S2000, etc.)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Really, I can’t think of anything else... Suggestions, anyone?

Mitsubishi, unless they come out with something I’d actually want that doesn’t fall apart after 60k miles
Ferrari (not that I have the money), but none of them interest me outside of wanting to drive one. Except the classics of course but I’m talking modern, new cars.
Anything by FCA except maybe a Wrangler. They killed the Viper so they don’t make anything that I’d want that someone else doesn’t do better.
Someone else mentioned Smart. I have nothing against them but the ForTwo doesn’t fit anywhere in my life. I do a lot of highway driving and have 4 dogs and a fiancée. My current car is also a work car and the hatch area is used regularly. If I were a big city dweller with no pets or one dog, maybe.

I dunno. For every great Saturn story, there are just as many that turn out like this. I mean, I’m not saying others haven’t had great experiences with them, just that I don’t find the risk worth it to myself. (And the non-Saturn decent cars I was thinking of were like the Astra-Opel and the Sky-Pontiac).

1. Any of the Iron Curtain brands, since most of their stuff was a bit rubbish. Even then there are plenty of exceptions (the Niva, Volga, ZIL, Tatra, the Stratopolonez and of course recent Škodas and Dacia to name a few).
2. Some rebadging factories, I prefer other VW AG brands to Seat, most Saturns never caught my attention, pretty sure no one has imported a Geo to my side of the pond etc. I’m not against these brands, they’ll just never cross me.
3. Anything which I’d have no chance of buying in the first place. I’m not talking about hyper-expensive exotics (you never know what may happen), I’m just acknowledging I’ll probably never something as obscure as this:
http://jalopnik.com/gurgel-may-be-the-weirdest-car-company-ever-1441920859

Less about the brand really, more about the kind of car.
When I was looking at Valka, my requirement was simple: compact, 4-doors, RWD, manual, 4-cylinders. I’m pretty much down to only Cadillac and BMW.

As for GMC, I typically like the Chevy version better, but also just don’t love SUVs. The only unique vehicles I can remember them ever offering are the Typhoon/Cyclone and the Envoy XUV.
