I see.....H1 are good to serve it's original purpose, as a civilian car, they are more than what anybody would ever need...is like buying a hanger to park a ford focus....

except, unlike most H1 owners, I would actually use it like it's meant for... I'd take it out to the deserts, mountains... etc etc...

...oh, and I don't necessarily agree with the Ford Focus/hanger analogy... but whatever...

BMW 135i Coupe.
When this car first came out I thought but now, I could really see myself driving this thing.
Saw one at the crappy Charlotte Auto show that had carbon fiber bits and M3 wheels

Yeah, I saw something on that while I gathered the pics of that shitbox. The newer ones were even more atroscious and apalling, but Good. Good riddance to it. Mitsubishi is only good for tv's and a/c's, IF THAT. I still kick myself for ever buying that thing.. Fortunately it didn't cost me TOO much...

I don't see a whole lot of those here in Southern Cali... not really comparing to Vancouver BC... I just got back from there... and they were EVERYWHERE.

I've always liked the galants too. Especially the VR-4 models, which I think was only available in NA for a couple years in the early 90's generation. I wish they imported the newer generations here.

Great car, but the A4 is the better value, and I'm not going near an A4

Add to the list is the A8L, love it, but would not own one. Much like the depreciation you expect from Jaguar: thumbsup:

The Venza is a pretty cool car for it's category. I'd take it over a Pacifica or a Traverse. Hell, even the Pilot. The Venza is one of the few good-looking cars in the industry and in Toyota's lineup today, IMO.

True but, Mitsu still should have imported the VR4 version of that generation nonetheless.

Since people are being friendly I will share my deepest darkest secret!


Practical to no end, reliable and cheap to own/operate. Before getting the S2k I looked into putting a super charger on one of these, but it was way too much work. I don't think I would ever own one, but for some reason I really like these!

I really like the big 70's Chevy convertibles. I couldn't drive them with the donk wagon wheels but put it on sensible wheels and give it a 454 big block and it would be a blast to cruise in...

here are my "hate to admit its"

Y I Like: In it's SRT version it has quite a visual presence, awesome interior and a kick butt engine.

Y I hate to admit it: Since inception this car is waaay overplayed, ubiquitous, large and American.


Y I Like: Nice body work!

Y I hate to admit it: It's a Kia pretending to be a Lexus.


Y I Like: Very sporty; looks the part!

Y I hate to admit it: it's a girly car. Hopefully the Gen Coupe will change this image a bit.


Y I Like: Cool concept and well executed.

Y I hate to admit it: It's a truck. I don't even like trucks.

I <3 my element. Completely utilitarian, perfect for the beach, hiking, taking people to the airport, going to sam's club, etc.

Supercharing the element?

This thread is really fun. We should start one with the cars I hate, but don't want to admit.


I used to want an expedition pretty bad. No clue why.


Saw this on the freeway today. I would buy this.

The Camry (and Accord) are okay to like and tinted windows are no big deal (a must in Texas), but I will admit I when someone tries to turn the family sedan into a baller's car.
