Some of the cars some of you feel guilty about I'd drive the hell out of all day long. A '71 Mach 1 and the Alfa are dream cars.
 
Hey, I really want a Corvair too. In fact, I was just talking about it with a few other members on here.

Another guilty pleasure, I love these:

I'd love to have a 71 Mustang, although that doesn't change the fact that it's known to be one of the ugliest Mustangs.

I guess that sentiment isn't shared here. From my experience really only die-hard 1st gen Mustang fans have that opinion. In fact my father and I can't go anywhere in his without people in traffic going out of their way to get a picture of it - a phenomenon not shared when we're in my '88 5.0 or even his '69 fastback.

I don't find them ugly either. Although it wouldn't be my first choice for 1st gen Mustangs.

And I'd love to see some pics of it. And definitely the '69. :dopey:

The little 3 cylinder could let this tin can with wheels achieve over 50mpg.

Also one of the more popular cars for hypermiling, like this example.

I'm actually starting to like the Prius because of the GT6 thread :D

This car will trounce all your guilty pleasures.

Behold the magnificence of British Leyland. Didn't we make some beautiful cars back in the day?

Not to my knowledge; its more the 'love it/hate it' styling that people seem to disregard that model for, although that's why I personally like it. It looks like a late 90's Taurus SHO on steroids.
 
I've always wanted a Cadillac DeVille DHS since I saw the Presidential limousine in the early 2000s. It's not a very interesting car per se, but there is something extremely appealing about understated luxury. The Northstar V8 is also a bonus, even though running costs and maintenance would probably be outrageously expensive over here.

I'd also love a Sienna SE V6. Who doesn't want a humongous people carrier that can outrun 95 % of all cars in your country? The freedom of having that much space in a comfortable package almost makes me forget the decidedly strange exterior design.

How many times does this need to be posted before everyone collectively realizes that it's a photoshop?

I could not notice that, thanks.

Slight bias towards the first two because they were either owned by someone in the family, or used by other farm residents.
 
General consensus is that the Ferrari Mondial is crap, but they really aren't that bad. They drive 90% the same as a 308 GTB/GTS.

These two look great! Especially the Rover; I'd daily the hell out of it. How could someone NOT like them?
