The title is pretty self-explanatory: We all like car or two (Or thirty) that we probably shouldn't, so show us what they are!
For bonus points, make sure to make other people feel as guilty as possible for liking the cars they do.

I'll start: Even though it's a deathtrap, I love the Corvair.

And I love the Panhard CD.

I also like the Triumph TR7, even though it really isn't any good.

Perhaps even worse though, is that I really, really like the 280ZX.

I'd rather have the Bond Bug to it's left. I don't know why though.

I don't blame you, it looks very cool, too.
 
Daihatsu Midgets aren't ugly, they're damn sexy.

These things were so odd, but I love the appearance of them.

An ugly minivan, right? Wrong! A mid-engined, SUPERCHARGED ugly minivan.

It was a great idea and a great design. I don't care how many caught fire or got turned into Ferraris.
 
I kind of like the Fiero, too. I wish I didn't. :lol:
 
Chrysler PT Cruiser:

They are most certainly not the most attractive cars on the road, but they aren't that bad either. I think they receive a lot of unwarranted hatred. At least they weren't like the Pontiac Aztek (I'm waiting to see if anyone here actually likes that car).
 
I've always liked the PT Cruiser. Especially when I was younger.
 
I hear the chain-smoking trailer park crowd are quite into PT Cruisers.
 
The PT Loser came out when I was 9, and I thought it was ugly back then, and I still do today.

Also, at least 1 was a taxi in Japan.

I once tuned 10 cars to 280 HP in Forza 4 and raced them down the mountain track to see what was fastest. The PT Cruiser was included, and it was the slowest by far, and was even slower than some of the 200 HP cars.
 
I do think the PT Cruiser looks better than the Chevy HHR, which was pretty much the same idea.
 
I can't decide which one I think is better. And by "better", I mean "less horiffic".
 
They're both heaps, but the PT Loser is less likely to kill you. Probably.
