Excuse me, sir, this is a thread for guilty pleasures not pleasures.

I think I'm with legacy on this one... Can any Copen be a guilty pleasure? Can it really be that? It's the automotive equivalent of buying a Yorkshire Terrier; you just buy one regardless of saying that it is a "chick's dog" because the cuteness gets to you in the end. Now something like the MG RV8 would be better suited to the "guilty pleasure" tag, simply because the looks just scream "old man's beige pants", and no clothes can put you off from buying things quite like beige clothing...

What exactly is guilty about rocking a Copen? I fail to see the guilt in this one.

My guess is that the general feeling between Porschephilles is that, due to its PDK gear box and electric steering, this is seen as the worst GT3 in the history of everything GT3 related.

Once again, I like these.
The Vauxhall/Opel Vectra. I've always liked the styling of these, particularly in this trim level.
My dad had a purple press car (with both sunroof and aircon) which was just the best car ever when I was a kid. I miss you, Spyro!

The Volkswagen W12 Nardo.
For some odd reason, I don't want a Ferrari as my dream car, I want this. Even when the rednecks get their hands on it...

I have never liked any other 911. My dad is not a big fan of them, that's why I consider it a "guilty pleasure"

Of course we all love the M3 E30, but for my guilty pleasure I present to you the four door E30.
Having owned a few when I was younger I hankered after one now I'm errr, older.
And sadly this isn't it, but in my mind's eye the one that's in bits in my garage looks like this and not the mouse house it has become. One day beemer, one day.

I actually liked VW's design direction from 2006-2011, notably the Passat.

I always liked the looks of the '98-'01 Camry.

Cue generic Camry jokes.I always liked the looks of the '98-'01 Camry.
I also don't know why but this car looks very American to me.

The Geo Tracker. There is nothing cool about this but I want one for reasons I can't figure out.

Not even the awesome 1990s pink vinyl?

That slight turn along the bottom of the tail-lights...
How... How daring.

Probably because it's larger than the international Camry and extremely common over here.
This one is one of the cars I liked back then...
I actually liked this...
.. Uh...umm...Toyota.....Camry
I dunno why but back when I was young, everytime I spot that early-mid 90's camry...in white, sliver or grey....my mind immediately think of the original Gran Turismo...
I guess I could say that I played and owned too many white-silver cars in GT1 and that I'm weird... but then again...I was that kid who also liked a pontiac fiero 
and also this...

While we're on the subject of boring Toyotas we quite like:
The Toyota Comfort/Crown Comfort. AKA the ubiquitous Japanese taxi. They're slow, boxy, unstylish inside and out. I just quite like them. I feel like it'd make a good daily driver - reliable, undemanding, good visibility, big squashy seats etc.
But a lot of it is also down to the one I'd actually want to own - the TRD Comfort GT-Z.
Still not a particularly fast car in the greater scheme of things, with about 160 horsepower. But it'd go/handle better than the standard car, without losing too much of the ease-of-use factor.

The Toyota Century.
It has what may still be the only Japanese V12 in history.

That can't possibly be a guilty pleasure, the Yamaha supercar is still a mighty car all things considered. Yes, it was a grand flop, but that didn't happen due to the concept being bad... The same goes for the Century, it's more of an acquired taste than a guilty one, but the Crown? Now that is a true guilty pleasure, the sort of dull car which mostly serves company fleets and cab drivers... Never thought it had a TRD version though, that is quite cool.
