Hnng V8 Yamaha-Cosworth Taurus. Too bad they thought having only an AT was a good idea.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:

The Honda Life Pick-Up. Such a quirk car, but for some reason, I really like it.

1997-present Jeep Wrangler:
Too bad I'll probably never be able to afford one due to the "Jeep bros" driving the prices for new and used Wranglers to unobtainable levels. 👎
Eh, I'd argue that it's pretty socially-acceptable to own a Jeep, so liking Wranglers doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure.

I can see why it could be considered a guilty pleasure, though. Virtually half of the ones I see here are owned by women who don't even remotely care about going off road with them. They only use them as a "mall crawler." Hell, even my dad, who put nearly $10K into his CJ, wound up doing that with his for a couple years.
That being said, the TJs (97-06) keep skyrocketing because the platform is a ton better for off-road use than the YJ and CJ, and the 4.0L I6 in them makes the older 4.2L I6 look like a boat anchor. The YJs that got the 4.0 are still fairly cheap because of the "Real Jeeps have round headlights" mantra that the Jeep-bros have. I've been in a CJ (1986) and a TJ (2000) back to back in the same day, and the TJ was way smoother, more comfortable, and had far less trouble on the trail than the CJ did.

I agree though, too many Jeeps end up being mall crawlers with 9,002 LED light bars and pods bolted everywhere there's a place to.

If you ask ten people off the street what they think of Jeeps, I can guarantee you the consensus will be positive. Personally, I think that outweighs any guilt by association you might feel from 'Jeep-bros'.

Thanks to @eiriksmil I've developed a strange fascination with the Toyota FunCargo/Yaris Verso.
It's just one of those weird things only Japan would really have the tenacity to sell and actually have it sell pretty well. Even weirder is that they sold it overseas for a change.
Hell, even VeilSide did a kit for it.

2015 Honda Step WGN. For some odd reason, I really like the design of it.
Smart Fourfour. Better design than the Fourtwo for me.

^ But in all honesty, the American full-size truck doesn't make any sense whatssoever outside the US other than making a persons douche-juice bigger.
-> However, these truck make sense in some countries like where I came from (Philippines), and some terrorist folks.
^ The newer model is even more awkward:Pick-up vehicle outside of North America.
Or any Pick-up vehicle that isn't sold in America.
For Example:
Especially because of the example's name. Although i don't find the next gen BT-50 pretty.

^ I remember the Yaris Verso when it was brand new back in Manila! I played around with it at the dealership, back in 1997. So practical and cute! But its odd looks, steep price tag, and lack of marketing proved to be a flop. But I'd buy if I had the cash.
^ The Sera is now considered as a JDM Unicorn these days! Just drop a 4AGE Silver-Top on it and it will match its looks! 👍
^ Instead of the bulky looking JDM Odyssey, the Pinoy-market should offer the Step WGN there! I like that box a lot!

That's racis.......Well i doubt those terrorist guys would use something like Silverado or F-150 or F-150 Raptor SVT as they use instead something like a cheap sh**y Toyota Hilux unless of course you're referring to the whole Middle East community...
Over there? do you mean just the terrorist guys or the whole middle east?
Because if you meant whole middle east then of course they have those trucks and supercars and middle class cars....etc
But some terrorists who lives places away from GCC (just google it if you didn't understand what i mean)? i doubt because they uses vehicles like these:
Except with a lot of mud, dirt,cheapness and a machine gun mounted in the back.
A terrorist owns for example a maserati ghibli?
They don't even look like a sort of guy who owns a bunch of 4 door sedans like chevrolet caprice or impala or ford taurus.
Anyway let's go back to the Topic:
I don't know why but i like the looks of this car especially the rear end of it.

Plus it was rust prone, even rusted in the showroom.
Wouldn't really count that as GM's fault though. Steel quality suffered in the 70's.
