Automotive Guilty Pleasures

[Niku Driver HC]

And I think why I couldn't find many - the majority of them were Japanese imports, either that or were sold in NZ as the Toyota Cynos. Searching that up gives about two pages of listings.

Anyway, another guilty pleasure. Toyota Corolla II.

This particular one is for sale - 20,000km.

Man, that looks almost coming-from-the-factory new, amazing. Japan sure knows how to treat certain cars, and the rims really look neat. 👍

If only importing a car from Japan to Portugal wasn't such a hassle, I'd go for it immediately...

Wait, im not in Australlia...

Neither.

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Interesting, the front of the Corolla II kinda reminds me of the AW11 MR2.

Of all the cars in this thread, this is the first time I've thought "Yes, you should feel guilty."

Really? Why?

 

[Brutaka]

Really? Why?

It's just......
But if you find something good out of it, more power to you 👍

Walter White drove one... until he sold it for $50.

Anyway, a cousin of the Aztek:

1990 Pontiac Trans Sport. Arguably the most radically designed minivan ever sold. Minivans are supposed to look boring and get people from point A to B. This minivan broke that trend... but no other minivans have followed it. In a way it's the opposite of the Toyota Previa, another one of my guilty pleasures and the only other minivan I like. The Trans Sports has radical styling with a normal drivetrain while the Previa has normal styling with a radical drivetrain.

If I become a billionaire, I'm buying both of them.

 

[Sage Ages]

I love these things.

 

[JMoney]

I like to guess whether they're a Chrysler or a Plymouth when I see one coming from a distance.

That is super hot

Don't get me wrong. It's great if you like it, but to me, the Aztek is an abomination.

Those wheels! And pop up headlights too? Man, I'm really starting to like this more than I probably should. 👍

I Looove the new look of the Camry

I kinda like it i guess, more unique than Russian version, but the one flaw of this look, is that it prevents Denny Hamlin's former (2014) livery from being used.

 

[ShiftingGears]

Camrys are boring but I think the V20 range has potential. Especially since I found out that some variants came with 4WD.

I dig it. Not the angular roof, though. Could be rounder.

I have a thing for cars that look sad at the front.

I'm sorry, world:

My sister had one of those. She loved it but wrecked it after rear-ending someone. She replaced it with a Camry.

Don't be. They really aren't as bad as people make out. Not drivers' cars by any stretch, but there's a time and a place for that. As reliable, economical, relaxing transport they're hard to beat.

I'd estimate that 99% of the people who hate on them on the internet have never so much as stepped inside one, let alone driven one. The sort of people who regurgitate Top Gear opinions like they're gospel.

 

[ScarFace88]

Here's one of mine. It's supposedly one of the worst cars ever made, but I like them, especially the Cosworth version.

No guilt, no blame, Vegas are awesome. I'd rock one every day of my life. And then jump out of it and inside a Vega wagon and rock that, too.

[Grandea GTR]

I thought that car had a rather good looking interior.

 

[D.Kadettdriver]

I want one. Seriously.

 

[Nessy]

Every time i see pics of those, they remind me me of these:

Mazda Xedos 6

 

[Brutaka]

I want one just because of the name

I have a strange affection for the fourth generation Taurus.

I have a strange affection for the fourth generation Taurus.

I always thought of that generation as the "American Camry" because of how similar it is to the XV30 Camry.

 

[homeforsummer]

If we're talking Tauruses (Taurii?) then I have Gran Turismo 2 to blame for the fact I quite like the old late-90s Taurus SHO:
