For me:

Love vintage Mustangs...but the last Mustangs I would really want to own left Ford in the summer of 1970 when they re-tooled for the '71 models.

Really dislike fix body Mustangs anymore...

Also dislike the Japanese "supercars" of the early 1990's...Supra, FD RX-7, 3000GT Mitsu, 300ZX, et al. But I do like the NSX.

Almost anything Lincoln between thbe 60's suicide door cars and the current models.

Like the Suicide door cars and the latest and greatest...but the Town Cars, 70's Lincolns...ughhh....yuck...

So what do you dislike?

Meant so say "Fox body (1979-1992) Mustangs.

...and no offense Moltar, still like yours.

But for the most part they leave me cold.

Domestic:

any of the odd-styled Chrysler products (Cordoba) that tried to copy popular GM products (Cutlass Supreme, Regal, GP) but instead featured awkward proportions, chrome in weird places, padded vinyl tops, strange grilles...that includes 80s New Yorkers and stuff like that

Foreign:

some things will never change...Subarus

:toiletpaper::toiler: current Toyotas (except for the FJ and 4Runner). It just amazes how much Genericans like Toyotas.

^ I can get onboard with the above, but don't forget mercedes ... :wink:

Right now, if I saw someone I know or work with pull up in a Fusion/Milan/Mustang/MKS, I would think highly of their choice. In the past, this wouldn't have been the case.

Oh yeah, I forgot, probably "couldn't relate" to a P.T.Cruiser buyer. :huh:

The GTR.

I really like Nissans, but I can not stand this car. I do not know what infuriates me so much about it. Other than the fact hat I think it is ugly...

Japanese "supercars"

Japanese cars in general.

90's Chrysler "cab forward" stuff.

Pretty much ANY vintage european car, especially the "cute" cars like Triumphs and MGs.

a lot of 80s and early 90s GM stuff

Hybrids

V6 "muscle/pony" cars... Although I will admit that the new Camaro V6 is starting to change my opinion on that one.

Just off the top of my head...

of late i loathe even seeing one of those kia souls... and then there is the baja...

also... do donks count?

Right now it would have to be the new body style Corrolla. It is a bigger and less fuel effiecent car than the last model. The new version Corrolla gets 3 mpg less than the older version. This is why Toyota is having problems.

Most foreign makes. I never thought the 1979-93 Mustang was really "all that" while my friends pushed them on me all the time. The 1980's Escort was the same way.

i can see why they would be on their soapboxes. GM guys wouldnt know the worst styling we suffered was the bumpers on the 74-77 camaros :lol: the mustang guys had to put up with this

The mini old forigen sports cars like the MG, TR7 and stuff like that. Also the Toyota Camry and Corolla (especially the current generation for both), along with the Honda Accord Cross Tour (never should have seen the light of day). Along with the PRIUS! (The new Insight is WAY better looking!) And I almost forgot forigen fullsize trucks...

A reason to drool... (more drooling had it been in coupe form)

Those were the most beautiful American full-sizes of that span of years, and with sleek (enough) styling to wear aluminum alloy wheels.

Thanks! What a beauty.

I have to wonder, if Ford built the Mustang II on the Maverick platform rather than the Pinto platform, would it be a different story today?

The current Camaro. I can "stand" it, but I certainly don't like it.

I'd much rather have, say, the similar but less garnished G8/Commodore or its competitor, the Mustang.

Any of the soulless generic foreign crap that people are buying in droves today. Kia, Hyundai, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan - and to an extent Honda. Not a single car any of them make tell me to even consider them for purchase.

And the Donks...don't get them either, and it saddens me to see great cars that should be kept up made into rolling cartoons that you need a ladder to get into and a lifetime membership at the local transmission shop to keep those big meats turning.

I Can dig a well done lowrider though - the work that goes into those cars and they care that they are given really make them rolling sculpture.

Yes on the G8. I quickly grew to really like it. Most G8 drivers seem to appreciate and understand cars. I haven't seen any morons behind the wheel of one, from a quick "ISTJ" point of view...

The Camaro is ok. I'd like it a lot more if:

1) the "roof rail" wasn't so chunky and the greenhouse wasn't so limited (revisit '67,'68,'69...there was more glass)

2) the circular headlamps had a more rectangular shape, to match the rear taillamps

3) the interior panel wasn't so austere...they could have kept the same "retro" theme without being as boring

It looks best in white and silver.

I get a pit in my stomach just looking at any Japanese vehicle. The thought of what they have done to our trade deficit and the crap they produce . . .

i think it would have been a huge difference cause think about how bad ford fans threw a tantrum when it was announced the ford probe was going to be the new mustang... platform has all to do with it.

FYI : all Pontiac Rallye IIs are steel.

Yet nobody really made a peep when the G-body turned into a W-body.

After looking a Triumph Stag, I realized how much I hate most British cars. They're junk and are so half-assedly engineered, it's pathetic.

Of course, I do have a few exceptions. But for every one decent British car, there are 50 British shit piles.
