Automotive Guilty Pleasures

[Turtle]

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.

 

[Azure Flare]

I want one so bad.

I wanna see how close I can get to replicating the Armageddon Van.

 

[CinnamonOD]

The Reliant Robin

I don't really know why, but I love the way it looks!

 

[Turtle]

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

 

[Murcie_LP640]

Yup.

 

[Azure Flare]

Yup.

"Honda Beat used Accelerate, it was not very effective."

I don't blame you, it looks very cool, too.

 

[Davis]

Not sure how this thread is really different than this one?

 

[Azure Flare]

Daihatsu Midgets aren't ugly, they're damn sexy.

 

[Turtle]

Yup.

I love the Beat, but wasn't aware I was supposed to feel guilty about it.

I don't blame you, it looks very cool, too.

I like the fact that the thing the designers used for inspiration was a wedge of cheese (probably).

Not sure how this thread is really different than this one?

Because these cars don't need to be ugly or appealing.

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.

 

[Turtle]

I kind of like the Fiero, too. I wish I didn't.

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'm waiting to see if anyone here actually likes that car).

I think @ProjectWHaT does.

He likes Priuses though, which are probably good enough for this thread.

[Doodle]

I've always liked the PT Cruiser. Especially when I was younger.

 

[Doog]

I hear the chain-smoking trailer park crowd are quite into PT Cruisers.

 

[sparkytooth]

Yep:

I always knew something was up with him...

Me too.

 

[Azure Flare]

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.

 

[Doodle]

Me too.

It was probably GT3 that made me like it. The very first car I ever bought in a Gran Turismo game.

Lamborghini Urraco

Shelby Durango

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.

 

[JMoney]

I do think the PT Cruiser looks better than the Chevy HHR, which was pretty much the same idea.

 

[Turtle]

I can't decide which one I think is better. And by "better", I mean "less horiffic".

 

[Azure Flare]

They're both heaps, but the PT Loser is less likely to kill you. Probably.

And it's not a Chevy! Unfortunately it is a Chrysler.

 

[Davis]

And some other obscure Italian cars.
