4/10

(Shhh it's not a race car)
 
7.5/10 Best of the current "small" saloon cars.

Stupid yellow lettering on tires, ridiculous wing, obnoxious yellow covers on headlights, enough antennae to receive messages sent from another planet, what may as well be carbon fiber wrap bought off of ebay and applied by a tint shop, and last but not least, a stupid name (Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus) evocative of the joining of German and Italian forces that, from a world history perspective, spells nothing but trouble. Oh, and those tacky bright yellow accents...

0/10.

While that is an OG Porsche, they look much better with an open top.

7/10 Even though it's not the Fan Car it's still pretty cool.

1974 Porsche 911 Targa

7/10--one of precious few cars a color like that suits well.

2/10 not my kind of thing, interesting power-plant though.

3/10, unaesthetic livery.

Aston Martin Lagonda.

 
4/10. While the car could possibly be seen as weirdly appealing for one reason or another, and is possibly good to sit inside of, I'd say there's a fair reason as to why nobody remembers about it, as the styling could best be described as the oddest mix of '80s European and American sedans.



...Speaking of cars nobody remembers

0/10: There's a good reason those aren't remembered.

Ferrari 812 Superfast

3/10, the styling is incredibly eh, and who knows how it will age, though I'll be somewhat fair on the name and say that it sounds better in the domestic market despite being uncreative in English so the exact opposite of the usual Ferrari names

Also
There's a good reason why those aren't remembered.

Nothing that a popular appearance in media theoretically couldn't change, the Minolta 88C-V in GT4 was a failure IRL yet it was the go-to car in the game and thus remembered fondly, Breaking Bad gave a fandom to the Aztek, and of course let's not forget the Delorean :lol:
Just that it needs to, y'know, actually appear in media, but if Pintos and Pacers appear in games, as well as the latter being the main car in Wayne's World there shouldn't be that much of a problem for it
Anyway, enough rambling

The Toyota is theoretically good, the Delorean looked stylish/futuristic in it's time, the Aztec was briefly popular in sales/remembered for being one of the ugliest cars made and the Pinto was famous for it's lawsuit. The Challenger was a bad car and it has nothing special to remember it by.
Anyway, back on topic:

TE27 Corolla

One for the "JDM" fanboys, not me. Though it's a road car with an engine of reasonable displacement, the matte black paint takes it down a peg. 2/10.

P13_0194.jpg
 
3/10. The only thing it has going for it is, it's less bizarre looking than the Prius.

Honda Passport

 
2/10. Public transport is rarely comfortable or reliable.

Ford Taunus Transit Carrier.

 
7/10

Civic Type R from our neighbor region...

6/10 Whilst it's certainly not my favoured gen of 'R, I appreciate the FK2 for being the last high-revving, N/A Type R Civic.

6/10, livery is pretty lackluster. I much prefer the 2000 model.

Love that rearward visibility of aging plastic insert windows on convertibles.
