I wouldn't say in my blood, but I've always had a certain affinity with Fords because my family have always driven large numbers of them, and their feedback has always been extremely positive. From the launch of the mk1 Mondeo in the early 90's, they also became class leading drivers cars. I remember driving a humble Mondeo 1.8 GLX in 1993 and being blown away by just how good it felt.
I was a huge Peugeot fan, and have had two 306's (one company, one privately owned). As good as FWD chassis get, largely reliable (odd electrical glitch aside), and still quite a pretty car IMHO. But all the newer Pugs I've driven have been a massive disappointment.
If I were buying a brand new daily driver, today, it would probably be a Ford.
