syrtran Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 The F-150 has to be the strangest thing on the roads there Now lets send you guys an Excursion, Super Duty, Navigator, and Lincoln Mark VIII . As far as I'm aware, the problem with exporting the Excursion to England is that the regulations over there require it to be registered as a multi-family dwelling. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante hicks Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I think the same could be said for the re-skinned Fukkas as well. I think it's actually the headlights on the Focus that turn me off. The grill itself is really pretty clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
156n3rd Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I have waded through all the posts mentioned here. Many people hate Hyundais because they are cheap, and some are ugly. Time and time again, this hatred is mentioned in this forum. However, I can really understand hating a vehicle on general prinicple, such as my loathing of compact Chevy models. Why? Because they all feel, drive and sound the same cheap way. Many of you know I own a Hyundai. Someone mentioned here that a car can be considered a tool for tansport. That's pretty much how I feel about my Accent. It is a back up car for us, even though my wife uses it for work when she doesn't ride with someone. Of course, anyone can express any reason for hating a vehicle. Unless you have owned on though, those complaints and opinons are yours and yours alone. It doesn't mean anything to anyone else.

rmc523 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 Agreed! All new Acura's, excluding the MDX look horrible. The new Ridgeline and Pilot (can you really consider them all new?) are plain fugly. Don't mind the Civic or CR-V much and kind of like the Odyssey, S2000 and Accord Coupe, but hate the Element, FIT and Accord sedan. What is this (FCX Clarity)? Haven't seen that one before. Wow, 3 year lease for $600 per month, ouch! Zero emissions hydrogen powered fuel cell sedan? Is this the new Insight? http://automobiles.honda.com/fcx-clarity/ Eh, I'm not a big fan of the MDX's grille though....I think if they changed that and a few other minor things, it'd look fine. I think the Odyssey is the best looking minivan currently made (except I dont like the refreshed model's taillights). Accord Coupe and S2000 aren't bad but everything else is ugly. Sad, b/c I thought Acura made some of the best looking cars out there this past (or current TL) generation. And that FCX applies to the ugly theme as well. No...it looks like a frog that has been exposed to copious amounts of radioactive material. Hmmm, interesting that you make this comment, yet your sig has a green Falcon in it.... No, I love the Falcon though, it was just a funny coincidence. As far as I'm aware, the problem with exporting the Excursion to England is that the regulations over there require it to be registered as a multi-family dwelling. :D I really laughed at that one.

armadamaster Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 (edited) I, too, am annoyed by most of the models pointed out already, but for some reason I'm particularly annoyed by Avalons. . . Then you must love the D3 sedans. You know what sucks? Crown vics. If it ain't a cop, it's the damn mob. 2nd page, I called it! Number one on my personal loathe list: Inferior in almost everyway to it's predecessor, and they can't buy them fast enough. The D3 sedans are a close second, but it's not so much the car itself I loathe (well styling ok), but the ongoing business failure they reek of. Old TL FTW, new TL FTL.

156n3rd Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I hate the over-bloated, over-priced gas sucking Corvette. For the cost of that POS, you could buy a well made anything else and have money left over to party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the cost of that POS, you could buy a well made anything else and have money left over to party. Whoa... Wait a minute. I'm as much of a ... what do you guys call me... Cheerleader. That's it. Yeah, I'm about as much of a cheerleader as is possible, but calling the vette a bloated, overpriced gas hog is just about as crazy a statement I've ever heard here... And I've read some stupid shit here. The vette weighs in at around 3300 lbs. Lighter by far than most cars. Over priced? The car equals or beats perfomance cars costing mutiple hundreds of thousands of dollars. As for a gas sucker, the vette regularly gets 30 mpg on the highway. So it may not be the most capable family hauler, or tow rig, but that's not what it's for. If you're gonna bash it, at least bash it for it's styling, or other subjective shortcomings. Calling the car a bloated, gas guzzling overpriced POS is just stupid. It's a 30mpg, entry level supercar at an attainable price. Corvette drivers, though DO drive me crazy. S.L.O.W.....

chiefstang Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Whoa...for a minute there I thought you were talking about the GT500... Gee P, I wonder why people think you don't like Fords. You barely get to 20 bashing posts a day, I mean come on, you obviously love them. For the record, Road and Track put a vette and a GT500 on a roadcourse (I believe it was Buttonwillow), and the two cars were seperated by 1/10th of a second with their lap times. Not bad for such a "bloated" car. Gas mileage on the GT500 does pale in comparison to the Chevy, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%. A friend has an 07 Corvette coupe/6 speed. It's an incredible bargain for what it is: a sports car, AND it gets great gas mileage too. He doesn't drive it slow though....he does the Silver State (Nevada) Challenge, regularly does 160+ mph! But only on a closed course.

timmm55 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Since this is a "negative thread".......my #1 hated vehicle is a BMW SUV. Just stupid in my book. And the people driving them are usually morons. Real Estate wanna-be tycoons (labeled so on the door) chatting mindlessly on a cell phone....hand held or not......oblivious to their surrounds. And aggressive! And to be sexist, they are usually a type of female who don't know what "day make-up" is. (Hint: if it required a trowel it's too early).

P71_CrownVic Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Gee P, I wonder why people think you don't like Fords. You barely get to 20 bashing posts a day, I mean come on, you obviously love them. Hell no. I think I "dislike" the GT500 more than I do the re-skinned Focus or the Flexy. It is a terrible car. Too heavy, balance is all off, ugly, poor handling. Plus, the interior is typical Ford bargain-basement crap (but I am sure that is great for you when spending $40K + the suckers fee). And on top of that, it has a beam for the rear suspension. The Corvette is such a better car, you can't even compare them. The Corvette is a great sports car while the GT500 is...umm..............not. And anyone that pays that kind of money for a car that can only go in a straight line...is insane.

156n3rd Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 (edited) I am 55. Have a full head of hair. I don't care if anyone calls me stupid. Just compare the original Corvette to the "attainable" pig they sell now. It was a sports car when it came out and now it is an overgrown two-seater. If it's such an affordable economy car why aren't they all over the road? It sucks, and besides, it's still a Chevy. For speed and enjoyment, give me a 1965 Mustang 2+2, 289 hipo w/factory headers and the factory 3-speed manual on the floor. Tray and run with it. Nice.

They use a stock suspension in race cars? What kind of suspension does a F1 car have? What kind of suspension does a Indy car have? Imagine how well they could do with a SRA!
