Your 5 IMOs that disagree with the majority

Post 5 of your opinions that generally go against what most people think (ex most people hate bangles shit, but i dont think it's too bad)

1. Audi's union grille is ugly, I think its too damn big and covers the whole front end.

2. E90 sedan looks better than the e46

3. 650Ci convertible is one of if not the hottest convertibles under 100G

4. Infinit G35 sedan looks great to me, especially after the 05 update

5. The Z4 coupe looks like crap, but the convertible is really good looking

2. RWD works fine in snow with the right tires

3. 4banger turbos are overrated (evo,sti)

6. American cars deserve more credit (z06, CTS-V, GTO, Mustang...etc..)

7. Acura will always remain a earth saving hippie of a company

8. Cup holders dont belong in a car

9. IS250/350 are overrated and will always be in the shadow of BMW (once the hype dies down it will be another IS300, forgotten)

10. America needs more diesel cars.

11. Turbos are overrated, no one wants to wait for power.

They rather save gas with low emissions than to make sport cars. No v8? Finally coming out with a 4banger turbo but had to put it in a SUV first?

If they wanted to flex their muscles then they could have shown off that engine in the next gen S2000. Now that would have been impressive. But we all know SUVs make the money.

I think it only looks good from the side. Front and back look like ass. Overall it's an overpriced E class.

3. GS is the worst car in the mid-size luxury class, inside and out.

4. 7 series is hot.

5. Accord > Sonata

1) Hyundai is going to kick ass verrrrry soon

2) Isuzu is going down the tubes

3)Ford lost the 2005 sales race to GM for a good reason

4)As long as there are unions in the american car industry, the company will go down the tubes eventually, and the unions will still try to squeeze for more money that is no longer there

5)VW's might look nice, but are overall shit.

6) I still think that idiot who took apart his perfectly running 323i in a previous post to convert it to a 4 dr M3 should have just gotten an M5

7) The Z4 coupe is hotness compared to the convertible

8) I still haven't figured out what the fock Porsche is doing by drying up the market of new cars and holding back from giving dealers the inventory they deserve

9)The Cayman, as nice as it is, is a Boxster coupe, like it or not

10)VW Navigation systems are shit

11) Audi's nose is almost as ugly as Subaru's new image

12)^^ VW isn't far behind

13) I can't understand why the camry lease is so bad right now when the '07 model is right around the corner

14) The R Class Mercedes is one of their biggest mistakes. Period.

15) Nissan motors (VQ) as good as they are, have the worst fuel economy I've ever seen in a 6 cylinder motor

Keep going?

Oh yea...

21) The only Jaguar half decent is the XJ and now exiting XK

22) The new XK is one of the ugliest designs that will be on the road, looking like a botched up operation

23) The Scion xB, call it what you want, is a great car

24) I still don't see why people like the BMW 6 series so much

25) The new S Class got "Bangled" pretty bad

1) the Z Coupe > Z4 vert

2) I LOVE Audis new designs...made me a fan

3) I love subarus new grill on the WRX

4) Mercedes designs have become more attractive the BMW in overall product line up.

5) The new 5 series is a turd.

6) The new 3 series is over-rated

7) More cars/trucks need to come with a manual tranny option.

8) The upcoming Toyota FJ Cruiser is AWESOME

9) The Element is underpowered/ugly/no offroad ability and yet is one of the best utility designed vehicles on the road today for its size.

10) I love the Ridgeline. Its has amazing design and forethought towards space and carrying gear around.

11) The new Dodge Challenger concept is BEST retro design to come out of industry to date.

12) The new Camaro concept, while cool, is a really bloated looking.

13) The new Civic SI is probably THE hottest little FWD driver out there right now.

14) BMW needs to shitcan Chris Bangle.

15) Puegot needs to make a return to the US market.

1. German cars are garbage.

2. BMW designs as a whole look like shit more than any other.

3. Horsepower isn't everything.

4. I actually like Honda/Acura's wheel designs.

5. I like the damn sunroof switch on the dash next to the wheel.

Hmmm,.......Im really tired but I can think of a few.

1) WERD Sarlacc,........more cars and trucks need to come with a manual tranny option
2) Watch out for hyundai
3) Toyota still makes cars that I just find BORING,...they dont do anything for me
4) the new Z coupe is nice,......and that red Z4 M convertible with 330hp or whatever (from the NAIAS) is PURE SEX.
5) I think the 6 Series BMW's look nice,......but I-drive is stupid.
6) I dont care what anyone says,...I would take a normal "traditional" manual tranny with a normal clutch pedal under my left foot and a stick shift in my right hand over any auto/SS/SMG/DSG/paddle shifting/ 0.2 second shifting car/whatever the heck else.
7) The mercedes B class (not sure if you get that in the states,...kind of a mini R class) is stupid and way overpriced.
8) I think the smart car looks ridiculous,.........no wonder they are not donig that well,.......OVER priced.
9) I think the pontiac solstice is over rated (I saw one today,...looks better in person, but there is still something about it that bothers me).
10) Silver is the absolute last colour I would ever want a car in (sorry silver owners)
11) Red ferraris dont have the same impact as they used to for me,..........they are everywhere (does not include the classics like the F40 etc). I see a red enzo or 430,..ya its nice, but I just kinda go,..ya, its a ferrari (in person its still OMG for any exotic though). NOW, same cars in BLACK or YELLOW,......OH MAN, drool fest.

1. Civis Si's are stupid, it's not a sports car and the fact people would pay over MSRP for it is retarded
2. Acura is smart for having no V8. Not everyone wants to burn through 3 gallons of gas to go to the grocery store and when was the last time you had a chance to go over 140 mph anywhere? Stop whining bitches.
3. I actually like the new 3 series beamer but would never buy one
4. McLaren F1 is better then the Veyron
5. I don't care who you are driving a Z4 looks exactly like driving a Miata, you look like a fag.
6. NSX overall one of the best supercars created. No fuss and cheap maint. compared to other super cars. Honda= again a V8 would have been retarded.

1. the Type R integra is VERY over rated...

2. LS1 F-bodies are fast but there not the hot shit every one swears them to be

3. Supra's that are put in that all 12 sec category is VERY overrated... many of them run good times just those who drive huge amounts of power need slicks / feathering the throttle skills.

4. F40 Ferrari > F50/F60

5. the new retro styling american V8's are fallowing under is ridiculous if its a new design make it COMPLETELY different... building cars to replicate lines of previous models will never hold well in history.

6. the 4G63 EVO's are far superior to the STI in terms of modability / knowledge / aftermarket support... lets face it the 4g63 has been raping for over 15 years many many many of which are well well into the 9's / 8's how many hand full of box motor STI's you hear doing that? NOT MANY

7. the 2JZGTE is the strongest stock block to have ever been mass produced for retail cars not in terms of power but in terms of ability to hold power.

8. Lingenfelter although a good company with quality GM motor / turbo packages is so rediculously over priced it would be stupid to have them do your work...

9. the new civic SI > rsx Type S

10. The new challanger will be king of the new age retro muscle V8's ... unless the GT500 comes soon

1) Audi interiors are overrated

1) Buying a car for MPG is not worth it (unless you have a 10mpg SUV)
2) Resale value sucks for ALL cars...not just domestics
3) Trannys break because of driving habits, not because they are pieces of shit
4) Subcompacts are cute, but only worth it if you live in a city with small parking spots
5) If you bought a car and are tired of it 3 years later, you bought the wrong car
6) PT Cruisers are cool

1. MB is not worth it in ANY class
2. Hybrids other than the Prius and Accord are not worth the extra spent money
3. DRLs are overrated
4. Tinted windows look ugly
5. Although I love it, the M5 could have been either more powerful or more fuel efficient; one or the other. it also could have used a more distinct look.

I think hybrids in general are a ripoff. Their claims of MPG are false, their technology is apparently expensive to replace (at least now it is) and the premium they fetch is ridiculous.

The higher gains of the Prius is mostly due to its ugly, streamline design and lack of power. Unless you are in stop and go traffic for the majority of your time on the road it's hybrid technology is worthless.

This is, of course, not taking into account the effects on the envioronment.
