Unpopular Opinions- Cars in General

[titleguy1]

The Toyota FT-1 is ugly.

1. The Toyota FT-1 is too slow and too boring

2. The BMW M4 sounds awful

3. Dual clutch gearboxes are no fun

4. Emissions regulations are ruining modern engines

5. Turbochargers ruined the Porsche Cayman/Boxster (and to an extent, the 911)

There's just a couple off the top of my head

 

[Lilium]

The Aston Martin DB7 is the prettiest Aston.

I don't think these are unpopular opinions. But for me the M4/M3 doesn't sound that bad and the F80 looks ten times better than the F82.

Well... yeah. It is a concept car...

Not only are they not unpopular, they're also pretty uninformed. Number one is a concept so it's impossible to judge whether it's too slow. Number three is the talk of someone who hasn't experienced that of which they speak, and number four is just flat-out ridiculous - not only are modern engines far cleaner and more economical then they've ever been, they also offer far greater performance, refinement, usability and longevity.

Oops, I meant GT86 (i.e. FRS / BRZ)

I'm guessing you have driven the GT86 to the limit to know that it is 'too slow and boring'?

 

[Losco]

Wow, I have to do a list!

- Volkswagen and Audis are the most boring cars out there
- For that cost, only an idiot would buy a Porsche
- Lamborghini (since 2000s) are ugly and vulgar. Only a retarded football player could call them "luxury"
- American cars are nice only in movies
- Ferrari F430 is tasteless
- I'd rather drive a FIAT than a GT-R

Don't take me too seriously, but I actually think this

 

[R5]

"For that cost" makes it sound like they're way too expensive, so what sports car would you rather have in cheaper price brackets?

Any M3/AMG/Lotus etc etc..

 

[Neddo]

Porsche is expensive but rr car is definitely cool.

You're gonna need to explain all of this because none of this makes sense to me

 

[R5]

Any M3/AMG/Lotus etc etc..

Eh, if we're going down the used car route there is little wrong with a 993 911, so I don't see it as being an idiot the same as I wouldn't call someone who bought any of the above cars idiots.

 

[Losco]

The following points just makes no sense to me......

Volkswagen and Audis are the most boring cars out there

So please elaborate.

So please elaborate.

- Volkswagen and Audis are the most boring cars out there
Because, from my experience with some cars (Scirocco, Golf 5 and 7, Audi A1, S3 and A4) I find them... boring. Quite good to go shopping but useless for driving thrills. I can't imagine why choose VW/Audi rather than Mercedes/BMW.

- For that cost, only an idiot would buy a Porsche
Explained above

- Lamborghini (since 2000s) are ugly and vulgar. Only a retarded football player could call them "luxury"
I think we can all agree modern Lamborghinis are quite similar to each other and not very "classy". Beyond that, there's taste

- American cars are nice only in movies
I simply don't get the fascination about American Cars, Driver/Hazzard cop chases are very nice but I'm not very into American Cars.

- Ferrari F430 is tasteless
I didn't say 360Modena only because the manual gear. However, the F430 looks to me as the less inspired Ferrari design to date

- I'd rather drive a FIAT than a GT-R
I meant, I really,really don't like japanese cars (and I owned one )

However, i was very, very exaggerating in a quite humorous/sarcastic tone (sorry if it wasn't clear), as I said. Don't take it seriously

 

[R5]

I didn't say 360Modena only because the manual gear.

A manual gearbox doesn't make it any more or less tasteful.

- Volkswagen and Audis are the most boring cars out there

R8? TT-RS? RS3? RS6?
Golf R? Scirocco R?

- For that cost, only an idiot would buy a Porsche

The only Porsche's that are incredibly expensive are the Turbo S and the Panamera Turbo S, if I remember correctly. Even the 918, which is Porsche's most expensive modern car, is much cheaper than its main competition.

- Lamborghini (since 2000s) are ugly and vulgar. Only a retarded football player could call them "luxury"

Honestly, the only modern Lamborghini's that could be seen as truly ugly are the Veneno and the Centenario. And since when were they known as 'luxurious'? Also 'retarded'? Bit of a strong word.

- American cars are nice only in movies

Z06? Viper? GT350(R)?

- Ferrari F430 is tasteless

Echoing what @C_R5_575TLR said here; a manual gearbox doesn't make a car more or less tasteful. Even then, the F430 came in manual, so this point is moot.

- I'd rather drive a FIAT than a GT-R

You didn't even explain why you don't like Japanese cars.

In fact, I was talking about the F430 design, the manual gearbox was a +1 to the 360


You didn't even explain why you don't like Japanese cars.
Because of dull designs IMHO. Not very remarkable and classy silhouettes out there. They look a bit like "toys"

And about the strong words, I said I was ironic

Of course, unpopular opinions and everything, but

[homeforsummer]

Explained above

You didn't really explain anything, you just listed some cars that you'd prefer. Why would someone choosing a Porsche over one of the cars you listed be an "idiot"?

I'm still not quite understanding your notion here.

 

[R5]

Unpopular opinions thread:

Yeah, if you could actually justify your unpopular opinion using rationale and logic beyond "don't take me too seriously" that'd be nice.

 

[Lilium]

Normally I find the cars more appealing in the less sporty version there is. Simplicity is key

 

[7up747]

Most of the BMWs aren't cool.
