Cars you like but hate to admit....

Just like the ugly girls you went out with, if you were asked if you like it, you will deny it....I saw this at another board and thought it was a fun game...not car talk, simply a game....

I like the Ford Probe/Mazda 6

Also the 626

Always like the looks of this one


None of them were great performers......but (to me) they looked nice...

I had two of them at the same time (wife's 95 LX I4 AT and my 94 LX V6 5MT) and thought they were great alternatives to the Accord and Camry. ...and at the time, you really could not sleep much on the V6 5MT; it was a little lite in hp/tq but also in curb weight.

The 2nd Gen Ford Prove GT was a great design....that still holds up well almost 20 years later.

I've always kinda Liked the Subaru Baja. Maybe I just think it'd be fun to drive in the snow.



And I agree with the SVX above. Except for the strange ass windows.

Starion..... I still want one. The engine is like the 4G6 series but the engine in the Starion is actually TBI though there are MPFI conversions out there, and even 4G63 swaps. The best part of all, its RWD!

Yeah, Chrysler Conquest, same thing like the Eclipse/Laser/Talon. I love the widebody looks of them. They're pretty light too, unlike the MK. III Supras.

Those cars were so far ahead of their time, the only thing that held them back was the price, which was really high at the time and an inadequate cooling system on the VR6 equipped car... but when they were running right and price aside, they were definitely a cool car.

Most of my favorite cars are cars other people don't like. I love ophan cars, or cars that even the original auto maker tries to distance themselves from, like the Ford Pinto...

I love the little econoboxes of the 70's and 80's. The GLH is a nice example of one...

AMC's (american motor corporation) and other forgotten auto makers made some of my other favorites.

I wouldn't be ashamed to admit on the Allroad....Bi-turbo 2.7L matched with a 6 speed makes it one badass wagon!

i was in seoul a few days ago and they had a hyundai genesis coupe on show inside incheon airport. that thing looked pretty sick, like some derivative of a g35/37 coupe, but much better than the altima coupe. i just looked at the hyundai usa website and i don't think they sell it in the usa.

rolling around seoul, i've never seen so many hyundai's in my life lol.
