I've got the Weirdest Taste in Cars - EVER!

[1X83Z]

Well, I've decided it. I've got the single weirdest taste in cars, ever. Here's why.

I think these cars are beautiful:
- Current-spec Impreza WRX
- Ford Fusion
- Peugeot 307 SW
- Lancer EVO 7 or new EVO 8
- Volvo XC90
- Lexus ES250
- Ford Taurus sedan (current)
- Subaru Outback (current)

I see nothing wrong with these cars:
- BMW 3-series compact
- BMW 7-series
- Porsche Cayenne / VW Touareg
- Maybach
- Pontiac Aztek
- Honda Elemt

I think these cars are ugly:
- Nissan 350Z
- Nissan GT-R Concept
- Mini
- Acura CL
- Toyota Camry / Lexus ES300

Is there something the matter with me?

Oh man, you have problems! I think you should schedule a trip to the optician, and soon.

Im with you, M5Power.

I only like functional, everyday cars. Which my type of cars are kinda bland to some people.

 

[Robin2]

TOOL!

Hey M5, your avatar (Nissan Patrol/Safari UN version), it looks cool.

Ha - when I was little, I would only by bland, everyday Matchbox cars. I bought some great ones - Volvo 760, Dodge Caravan, Honda Civic, Toyota SR5 hatch ... it was wild.

Ha! I've seen these things on the news for years and I began to fantasize about what the Iraqi citizens think when they see a convoy of them driving down the street... plus, some members didn't think they were cool, so I proved 'em wrong!

On these, I agree. The Fusion is iffy, but not bad. WRX quirky, but unique and a better Neon's face than the Neon.

Errmmmm, I'm going to have to call you on these:
- the Taurus is just bland. I'm talking Honda-bland. Almost VW bland and inoffensive.
- the soon-to-be Lancer is deteriorating into the girl's sports car. First the Eclipse, now this?
- Lexus? If you mean the new ES300, it's Fugly bland. If you mean the old ES250 (like you actually wrote), then I would just have to say: 'eh. The CL would be considered "nothing wrong, but wholly uninteresting" to me, rather than ugly.
- Your view on the Aztek requires a second look. Passing it on the interstate at interstate speeds does not qualify you as a judge. Really. Sit behind one in traffic, then see if you don't revise your view.
- The Cayenne? See "Aztek".
- The Mini is very hit-and-miss; totally love-it-or-leave-it. I disagree, but that's as far as I go with the Mini. The GT-R concept falls under this category too...as does my opinion on it.
- The 350Z is not really ugly, so much as it's just not original. It's a peice of this, a bit of that, and whole lot of TT. It's a good assembly of someone else's parts. With a crappy V6. <-- I'm not kidding; just wait 6 months.
- And, um, don't get me started on the BMW 745i.

After reviewing the list, I find you guilty of Failure to Properly Interpret Automotive Design. You are hereby sentenced to 3 years at VAG's design school, followed by another 2 at Pininfarina, and I think Ian Callum can be arranged as your parole officer.

Ha! I actually think the new ES300 is horrible, but I love the look of the ES250 - they only made it for two years, and they managed to sell very few before going to the ES300 in 1992. I love it! *squeals with joy*

The Aztek isn't seriously that bad. Yeah, it's ugly, but by no means does it deserve ALL the negative press it got. Why, may I ask, is the Aztek so ugly when the new ES300 and Camry are allowed to drive around and not be insulted? They're UGLY!!!

Actually, the more 745i's I see, the worse I think they look. Frankly, the rear looks understated compared to the garguantuan wheels and tyres combined with the low-slung side-skirts.

Callum sure can design - that F-Type concept thing is the best looking car I've ever seen. I suppose they won't even consider making it, though...

:irk: Whew. You had me worried there for a while. :hypno:

Ford? Why would they do that? They have so many more unoriginal ideas to milk. Why waste time with untested new ideas?

 

[1X83Z]

- I agree. Unoriginal ideas is what Ford has evolved to be! They can't just throw that away now, in the face of adversity!

 

[Endocytosis]

You see NOTHING wrong with this car??

 

[masonholmes]

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, get those pics outta here, I'm goin blind!?!?!?!??!?!!!!!! :shakehead :shakehead

 

[vat_man]

That thing is grotesque - and I love that it's on tiny little shopping trolley wheels, that really adds to the absurdity. Rear standing rail at the back, front indicators more prominent than headlights, recessed filler cap - this is a vehicle designed by a 10 year old.

 

[f50]

is most ugly tham "homer mobile" ( the car momer simpson make for he's brother) sorry but i can't remenber the name.

 

[MildMatt]

Well, I think you've got some issues if you think the 350Z mings. However, got to agree with you on all the others.

I think all things 'bling-bling' are really cool. The old US mobiles, with hydraulics and dubs. 22" chromes on Hummers. All that stuff I dig.

Oh yeah, I saw a couple of these when I was in the States. They're heinous man. Like someone tried to rip off the Audi A2, but was blind, drunk AND on drugs in front of the CADCAM machine.

 

[masonholmes]

he says: "shopping trolley wheels" -perfect! as for the 350Z, I think it's fugly, and as I stated in another thread, would much rather have a "new" 1969 240z. the 350 just doesn't do it for me at all.

It came out a fair bit before the A2 - I think the A2 came out for 2001 or 2002. The Aztek came out in 1999.

It isn't styled that poorly. It's the most versatile vehicle in a long time, too.

 

[duo17]

You're starting to sound like the commercial for the Aztek. :shakehead:

 

[Ryan2]

Aah!
