^ No, it's the i45.

 

This may be a bit off-topic, but I saw the Equus for the first time in person the other day, and I must say it has quite a presence, and in a good way. Despite that, my fave is still the Genesis Coupe.

[epoxi]

Personally I like the Azera.

 

 

When I saw it, I instantly realised: Hyundai has reached the next level.

 

 

[Pat]

I hate Hyundai in general.

[Metric.]

Hyundai, in terms of quality, has been exceptionally good lately. I drove a friend's 2010 Sonata, and it's a brilliant vehicle. It has great styling, good handling, and it doesn't feel cheap inside like most of their past vehicles have.

 

I'd take a Hyundai over a boring Toyota or Honda any day.

That's about like saying you'd take Stalin over Hitler and Mussolini.

 

All 3 brands are still pretty dull.

[Illousion]

The front wheel drive A-bodies, especially the Buick Century and the Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera.

 

 

 

 

Really like the design of these cars.

Are you a wind-up? I know someone who worked at a Hyundai garage until the start of the year and he testifies that they're badly build and moronically engineered, with sub-standard parts and corners cut literally eveywhere in their manufacture. They're the absolute epitome of cars as disposable appliances rather than examples of engineering integrity.

I loved my 1997 Corrado SLC, but I'm pretty sure no one ever gave a crap about them.

 

I lost it to a 950 year old lady on valium in a big ass caddy. She basicly t-boned me to the point where I was pinned between my seat and the smashed door. I did a 360 through some hedges and ended up on someone's porch.

 

We are not allowed to ever talk about the Corrado in this house. My wife misses it too much.

 

I was pulled over for being white in the wrong neighborhood in this car a few times. Nothing better then being totally legal and the cop thinking you are some large quantity drug dealer.

 

Edit:

forgot to mention that isn't my photo, but it is the same year, color and model. Mine had BBS wheels. I also don't see the sun roof.

[Lurch]

Those cars are pretty damn sweet. Wish I had one.

Me too dude.

 

For serious.

I would also like to add the Kia Forte Koup:

Still probably my favourite car for smiles per mile. Absolutely bloody loved mine.

 

Did you only get the VR6 in the states or did you get the G60 too? Despite poor reputation regarding charger life, and an archaic 8v head, it was the better of the two IMHO. A hell of a lot of scope for making mad power, once met a guy with a standard 8v block, Group A head and a big T3/T04 instead of the supercharger. It was making 245/270 hp/tq at the wheels- proper little torque monster.

 

VR's have by far the better noise though, I love that somewhere-between-a-straight-and-a-v-six burble. Plus 24v heads bolt on relatively easy, and lots of people make turbo kits for anything up to about 700bhp. Better fit haldex or Quattro though

VR6. It was a beautiful engine.

But those are the old Hyundai, if you sit in any of the latest i10, i20, i30 etc. you'll realise they are completely different cars. For cabin quality and comfort, I would go so far as to say they rival German cars of the same size, they easily surpass the quality of any French or Italian cars out today.

'69 Camaro is truly one of the best muscles out there.

 

 

The 2006 Lexus IS isnt the most attractive car, but it has lasted for over 4 years with me.

[stingray.]

How hard is it to understand the concept of this thread? Cars you love, that others don't give a crap about!!!! There is a separate thread for cars that you like, or your favorite cars.

I have to say I agree with him.

 

Also, I saw a Kia Forte Koup in black today while walking through a parking lot, and it was completely unlike any other Kia/Hyundai vehicle in the past that I've seen. It was pretty damn nice looking, and pretty admirable. It doesn't look like it's made of sh*tty build quality like past vehicles manufactured by them. A hell of a lot better than the Spectra it replaced.

You give a crap about my lexus? LOL.

It's also a Lexus LS, not an IS that's been posted. The IS is much better looking, besides the terrible rear lights.

[SynX HD]

I know I removed it a while ago. I just googled IS late at night, but I removed it after not caring lol.

I have a major soft-spot for 88-94 Chevy Cavaliers. Up until I owned one I never care for or about them but I bought a 93 RS 3.1 2 years ago and I loved it ever since. Its pretty rusty but this 17-year-old econobox has been more reliable than my moms 2000 Ford Explorer. Its had its faults, but its only ever left me stranded once, and it was my fault because I decided to go on a "spirited" drive and it shredded the serpentine belt. So I slipped a new one on and drove it away.

 

 

This particular Cavalier used to be used at a construction site to haul supplies... the owner fully restored it. ^

Because that is the benchmark all cars should strive to beat.

Didn't Ford get sued for them killing and seriously injuring people due to blowouts/uncontrolable rollovers when run on certain kinds of tyre?

I believe it was the earlier gen but yes, they did. Coincidentally, I've known a couple people who rolled them and even had a couple friends die in one.

I know I know, pretty much anything is more reliable than those... my point of saying that was to stress my 17-year-old car is more reliable than my moms 10-year-old truck.

Opel Diplomat, and any other KAD-Opel's, or even old Opels in general. And the ones that do like them don't seem to like the original square headlights wich i do. It's a Diplomat in the picture.

I had that on my iPhone as a wallpaper, my friend asked me what do I like about a 20-year old car. This car is not only a great comfortable and spacious car, but it's powered by a 3.8 Litre R6 Engine which does 0-60 in around 5.7 sec and a topspeed of 158mph.

 

 

My dad's brother had an Omega in 2 litre petrol engine but this one (Lotus-made) is just amazing. 170mph top speed!!

 

 

The VW Phaeton - Very underrated car, mainly due to a Passat Highline being in similar size, offering the same amount of gadgets and being much cheaper. Failure from VW but I like it.
