I'm not a fan of Chrysler products, especially the 90's to today stuff. But under Fiat, I've grown to like the new Dart. I love the sound from the exhaust and the interior isn't bad. If I had to choose a compact sedan to drive for a short time, it would be a Dart. On the other hand, I would not choose to live with it. Although I do like the looks, especially in Rallye trim like this:
Also, I am very much tired of the popularity of the mid sized sedan category. Wishing people would go for wagons instead of sedans and crossovers. But I also do like the 2015 Chrysler 200S. A good looking car, but ruined by the 9-speed auto. I do think it's one of the better looking midsized sedans.
And...the 2015 Camry even seems interesting. I mean...I'm saying this about a Camry.

The Mini is a guilty pleasure?

Does not compute.

Seen as a womanly ferrari however, it was one of the few modern Fezzas that could be had with a manual, and would be an ideal car for cruising along with and then having a few banzai moments of acceleration.
Pretty perfect for me if I'm honest.
Edit: the 2Cv is guilty? Then I'm in the dock for 2 charges then...

Same nameplate, different car. The European Granada was 1972-1994. The American Granada was 1975-1982.

I'm actually a big fan of the new Toyota interior designs, namely the Corolla:
Maybe it's the vent arragement, but it brings to mind the old 190e interior, one that I really like:
...damn I want a 190e....with a turbo rotary....

You know how many they actually produced in a manual?
3.
...it's saddening.

In all fairness, did they even tell anyone?You know how many they actually produced in a manual?

I haven't seen much about it from Ferrari, heard it from EVO, TopGear and the likes.

Probably not. I'm sure it was heavily discouraged as well. Higher price for the true manual and longer waiting times, so the take up rate was really low. F430 came in a manual as well, but I've heard the rate of true manuals is much higher.

I too like it, as far as vans go. I am a total sucker for square, recessed headlights. Partly why I'm a fan of some of the 04-ish Super Duty F250s, 80s F-Series trucks, as well as F body Camaros, early Fox bodies and other vehicles like it.

I think that's a given for all enthusiasts. It just varies by taste. I happen to love coke bottle and square styling.

Yup. I really did like this as I sort of was a huge fan of the retro styled cars, I thought they looked neat; the looks of the old with the technology of the new. Sure, it could have been excecuted better. As in, if Ford tried making the last Thunderbird more performance oriented. Still though, I honestly prefer this gen over a lot of the Thunderbirds of the past.

I must say, the looks have grown on me quite a bit. I hated it when it first came out, but the front grew on me rather quickly, then the rear. Most people will say the new California T looks better, but I think that some parts look way off now. Especially how they moved the rear taillights in more.

I like the Thunderbird too, though it looks about a million times better without the hard top with its stupid porthole. Without a roof in general, in fact - it's easier to appreciate the long, sleek styling.
