Automotive Guilty Pleasures

Peugeot 309 GTi

You have no need to feel even the tiniest bit guilty about liking this.

This is a guilty pleasure:

Any guilt in finding the 309 GTi to be more desirable than the 205 equivalent?

I would be willing to add lower spec models to my list too, even though most are admittedly naff looking nowadays due to their condition.

 

[Liquid]

The 309 is a fab car which I would love to own, especially the GTi. No shame at all.

@Wieget only the Subaru would be classed as a guilty pleasure from your list! Rover 200 coupe is gorgeous.

Well I own a 205, so I know which I prefer..

Saying that, the only thing that stopped me seriously considering a 309 when I bought mine was that there was only one for sale at the time, but it was mint and somewhat out of my budget. I think the rarity value makes them just as cool as the 205.

I don't know why, I blame GT6.

[Turtle]

Oh yes, the above, very much. I think it looks kind of cute,

Saturn Sky. I am one of the few that actually likes this car a lot.

Aussie Falcons! BAs EB and XEs are my favorite

Sn95 Saleen S351 with the over the top SR wing.

Steeda SN95 Mustangs

white cars with white wheels.(if the previous 2 pictures were not a hint)

Brought loud obnoxious greens!

I like well done stanced cars

I used to hate stanced cars when they 1st came out now I have seen some good looking ones and really like it.

 

[Spacegoat]

Love the old XD/XE's Falcons so much. 👍 One of them with a 351 and 12 slotters mags. Mmm, yes please.

 

[ilikewaffles11]

Well, for starters the Previa. Not only are they absolutely unkillable, but it's mid engined and could be had with a supercharger.

Most people seem to kinda dislike the FJ Cruiser, but I absolutely love it. One of the only cars that I think can pull off the retro look.

And the Nissan Cube. Yes really. It looks like something straight out of Japan. Now if only they made a Nismo version...

There's probably more but I can't think of them off the top if my head.

How much do they run these days. Those are legal to import to the US/

 

[Vegard]

I always had a soft spot for the 308 GT4

[sems4arsenal]

E39 in the color, I know atleast 2 here on GTP have them, and someone living next door has one that I check everyday

My all time drool

 

[Turtle]

Why would you feel guilty about liking those?

 

[Tornado]

Convertibles with basket handles.

Even that one.

I love those cars and would DD one. I bet the kids would have plenty of space in the backseats.

I'm aware of their ability to be hot rods, that's why I love them . I'd love to own one someday, put as much engine under there as I can without having to change the hood, and make it a sleeper.

 

[Slash]

It's so butt ass ugly I love it.

 

[Joey D]

The 80's Monte Carlo, it's a ridiculous but with T-Tops it shoots up to probably one of my top ten favorite cars.

Lowriders, mini trucks, and other slammed, overdone vechiles.

 

[Badasp5.0]

^ Those Montes are neat. Come to NM I bet you will find quite a few done as lowriders. Seriously Gbody GM cars almost always have daytons on them. Its the official car of New Mexico IMHO.

 

[Doog]

Toyota Camry! They just seem like the perfect, comfortable daily driver to not worry about- and from personal experience, they seem so. Bonus points if you opt for the V6 in a sedate color for the ultimate unassuming highway stormer.

 

[The Bman]

A 2.2 Camry isn't a guilty pleasure.

A 2.2 Camry isn't a guilty pleasure.

Neither is a Viper, but for some reason it got posted .

Some of the upper spec models like the ESP are starting to get collectable but you can still pick a decent one for a few grand.

Those are legal to import to the US/

Not sure, tried searching but couldn't find anything. Did find a XB for sale, through some kind of Mad Max replica builders site. Not sure what the regulations on a later model like the XE would be though.

 

[Azure Flare]

This is my guilty pleasure:

It's called "Twizy", how is that not awesome?

 

[Bopop4]

A dark blue 3rd gen Acura TL.

I wanted one, test drove one, and almost bought one.
(Fuel mileage and transmission reliability steered me away.)

Also has one of the best looking rear ends of any modern sedan.
