Default Cars you like(d), but hate to admit

Got this idea from another site. Thought it might be kinda fun. Well folks, what are the cars that you like or liked, but would hate to admit it(for whatever reasons, embarrassment, doesnt fit personality, etc, etc)??? I'll start off....


1. Buick Regal GS(thats right, I siad it)
2. Audi TT(dont like it, but begs attention)
3. Dodge Neon SRT-4 (But its a Neon?? )
4. Infiniti QX56(sweet truck, but at the same time horrible for many reasons)
5. Jeep Wrangler(for reasons that I wont talk about )
6. Kia Amanti (remember the commercials, looks like 5 different luxo cars, classy looking in a wierd Korean way, however its still a Kia)
7. Volvo V50(did I really just say that!?)
8. 1992-? Pontiac Trans Am(for same reasons as Wrangler, not gonna talk about it)
9. The Steve Erkle car.(or was it Mr. Bean??) That car was hot to death, dont sleep!!! Front opening door, 3 wheels, yeah boiii!!
10. Oldsmobile Bravada(what a shame)
11. 1997ish Pontiac Bonneville SSEi( I loved the over the top plastic bodywork LOL)

For me, some of my darker moments that I'll now admit...

1. Pontiac GTO (i actually kinda like the modest styling and the interior... plus 400hp for $34,000)
2. 99-04 Saleen Mustang Convertible (I think it looks pretty cool, kinda fast too)
3. Lexus GX470 (i generally keep quiet about this cuz all my family and friends think its ugly as sin, although I love it)
4. Dodge SRT-4 (yes its a dodge, and yes its a Neon, but that car will kick anything elses azz off the line or in the corners for under $20,000)
5. Olds Intrigue (my first car when I was 16, I actually loved it... strong 3.5L DOHC V6 and smooth ride and kinda handsome looks for an "old man car")
6. Lincoln Towncar/Ford Crown Vic (big comfy boats, you feel like you're riding on a cloud)

Great Thread
1. Porsche Cayenne. It goes against everything I stand for but I want one.
2. 300C. Big, cheap interior, everyone has it, but its so damn appealing.
3. Hyundai Tibiruon. I had the Hyundai experice and I wanted them to all die. But this is such a good looking car.
4. Mercedes Benz G-wagon-Old, ugly, outdated, beautiful to me.
5. Lexus RX 300/330. I am shocked at how this is the SUV to make me understand them more. Its just perfect to me, wonderful execution.
6. Volvo S60R. No one knows what the hell it is but its pretty bad-*** to me, even with the name Volvo.
7. Bangle 5-series. I hate the freaking looks but a manual BMW is so anti- what YOU are doing. It just speaks dividends. I hate the fact I LOVE the image.
8. Morgan Aeromax. I doubt anyone knows what the hell I am talking about.

-Late 80's-90's Buick Riviera, Regatta- concept car looks with a bunch of cool electronics in interior
-Cadilac Allante- I thought it was a nice looking coupe, too young when it was out to know it was overpriced and not well built.
-Lincoln Mark 7 and 8. The 90's model was a very tough looking powerful coupe, the 95 had a nice shape and nice futuristic looking interior, one of the first production cars with HID lights.
-Late 80's-90's Oldsmobile Trofeo, Tornado-Good looking coupes with concept car like interiors
-Original olds Aurora- Good looking sedan with Indy Car v-8 and very nice concept car like interior
-Buick Regal Grand National-Nice looking mucle car coupe with well built turbo v-6.
-Smokey and the Bandit Trans Am- My favorite muscle car, looked great with black body-gold eagle, silver with eagle, and white with eagle.
-Mid 80's trans am looked pretty good too.
-Delorean
-BMW 8 series coupe- Very elegant looking large coupe with a ton of luxo features.
-Current Jag XK coupe- very good looking coupe even though it is probrably unreliable
-Original Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable- the ones with the big headlights like used in Robocop.
-90's Lincoln Continental- good looking sedan to me
-Original Q45- one of my favorite sports sedans despite horrible marketing campain and lack of success.
-Infiniti J30 sedan- I really liked the shape when it came out, still a nice looking car.
-Volvo C70 coupe- very good looking car in my opinion.
-1994 Saab 9000 Aero-very good looking sedan, nice looking interior.
-Current Saab 9-5 sedan- Good looking car inside and out even if made by GM.
-Subaru SVX- looked a little like my 94 eclipse but better with a flat 6 engine.
-Volkswagen Toureg-nice looking off road capable SUV with a beautiful interior
-Volkswagen Phaeton- decent looking luxury sedan with a very nice interior.
-90's Volkswagen Corrado or Cornado- Expensive 2 door hatch sports car with nice shape, smooth torquey W6, good handling.
Most of these cars did not sell well or were critisized by public but when I was younger I did like these cars and still find them pretty nice today.

96 Impala SS with 22" staggered wheels - just badass, and blingass at the same time

Grandnational with 20" staggered billet wheels - just add fastass to above

Lincoln LS - pretty handsome car

BMW 645 - like a okay looking woman with a awesome body. No one admits to thinking about it, but everyone knows they'd give her a run!! LOL

Cadillac DTS with 22" wheels - saw one of these lowered on 22's while on vacay, have no idea why I like these grandpa cars LOL

Porshce Cayenne - talked so much crap about them when introduced. Would trade unborn child for a fully modded Turbo

BMW 745i - bashed these without mercy when introduced, saw AutoCouture modded one, fell in love.

I don't really have anything to put on a list like this. I have no hidden likes or dislikes. What you have seen me post and talk about on CAR CHAT is EXACTLY what I think .......period. ( though once in a while I will joke about a car ).
