Well...I don't really care for BMWs. That's the only one I would ever own so it's tough for me to admit that I would actually buy a BMW...

Every person I know owns a BMW is an A-hole that fits the stereotype...I am not saying that everyone that owns one is an A-hole, just all the ones I know....(not that many)

I LOVED the old Infiniti P10 G20's (Especially the "t" model)


The P11 models weren't too bad either:



these were basically Infiniti "Sentra's"

This kid I know bought a e36 m3 for like 12k nice car but he thinks hes hot shit but what he seems to forget is that his car is 11 years old and has 150k miles, soon terrorists would consider it for car bombs. I did not mind hanging out with him before but now there is just something annoying about him. Just recently he said "the lancer evolution is cheap speed" I said in reply "and your car is???????" then "Crickets". This is why I would not like to admit that I drive a BMW.

Actually no, they were not Sentras, they were Nissan Primera, which was/is a capable sedan. I liked those cars too, specially the newer model....almost bought one too...

Size wise, and comparatively to the USDM market, they were closest to the sentra.

I guess that if you want to look at it that way....although, I think that it was closer in size to the Altima....

I remember looking at a P11 in red with a MT. They're nice cars...not too many of them around.

..and Nissan really should have equipped it with an SR20DE-T (or at least made it an option).

Back to the topic, I have to admit that I do like the Hyundai Sonata V6. If it wasnt for Hyundai depreciation, I would have considered it along with the AV6 I ultimately purchased.

I just love anything made by AMC...

AMX, Gremlins, Ramlbers, Hornets...

I had a Javelin and a buddy of mine had a Hornet station wagon when we were younger...

^ i thought i liked them too, the styling and all. But that was untill i had it as a rental car when my car was in the shop. It was really bad, i hated the seating position the layout of the controls, almost everything except the exterior styling, i still find that quite pleasing. But i'd rather have a 06+ Civic

^^ I've always had a thing for the old M's. I'd own up to that car any day. Very classy. I like how you don't see many of them on the road too.

I like the old M45's as well. They could give an M5 a run for the money.

I actually thought of a car I like but hate to admit the other day:

Lincoln LS... especially the V8 Sport.

I would drive a LS V8 Sport.

Another one in the Lincoln family. Lincoln Aviator, because it screams American Luxury, and with the V8, moves pretty good for its size. I drove one and loved it. Until I read the reliability report on them.

I think I just threw up a little bit looking at that M45.

The final generation of the Q45 is a sweet machine that is seriously underrated.



You all probably saw this coming....light years ahead of my body style Santa Fe in almost every way.

I like the new Dodge Challenger.. it looks much better than the new Camaro and Mustang IMO.

Of course, the interior is junk and you can't see out of it.. but I think the overall look is excellent.

I hated the final generation Q45. They had a lot of cool shit and were comfortable but I never really got comfortable with it.

The first generations were fucking awesome. I had a 1990 and a 1991. Fuckers were beasts.

, i was looking at getting one of those, actually the JDM version, so a Nissan President... but i decided that i didn't need an expensive older car
and the newer q45's i think are ugly IMO, and they have very poor reliability from what i've read.. but to each their own

Reliability was never, ever a problem. We had a 2003 - so i guess the first year of the last generation. My biggest problem was when you stepped on the acceleration there was a hesitation before it took off. Dealer said that was normal. Was not cool.

Inside the car was awesome. Very comfortable, lots of space, etc. The navigation was a pain but I've realized that all new cars navigation systems are fucking horrible.

It's a pimp car. I've seen only one guy driving it around here. And I have to admit that I was pretty jealous of him.
