turbocharger Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 ^My thoughts exactly. There was one in my neighbourhood in yellow (which looked pretty good on it) with tinted windows and I've always seen it as unique and interesting. Not sure what happened to it or where it is now as I haven't seen it in quite a while. It was always a refreshing to see it on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turbocharger Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Luckily I didn't have the misfortune to see that atrocity in person yet, that looks seriously bad. Honestly, what's wrong with Toyota and Japanese car makers these days, where did the spirit from the 90's go? It's like they're competing in producing ugly, painfully boring, unattractive and bland cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstaNoodles Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Ford has planned to discontinue the Lincoln Continental and I seem to be the only one who is happy to see it die. Everyone and their mother seemed to like the Continental, but I never did. For one thing, the Continental tries to be something it isn't: an American luxury car from the glory days. The problem is that it's not RWD, doesn't have a V8 engine, and doesn't have the preportions of the old Lincolns it fails to pay homage to. On that note, it's styled VERY uninterestingly. When you see a Continental of the old days, you knew you were staring at a Continental because it had unique features. But now, you could replace the Lincoln badge with a Lexus or even a Volvo badge and I honestly wouldn't be able to tell the difference. In short f*ck the new Continental and good riddance.

Caysle Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I don't like high tech cars. Digital dashboards, digital climate control with no physical buttons at all, bizarre objects that's supposed to be a gear selector... meh Not a fan of turbo engines either. I'd prefer a naturally aspirated engine over a turbocharged one if it's not a diesel MitchMaljers and Standard Deluxe 59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyo Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Confession time. I always liked the PT Cruiser. A bold design in a particularly bland period of production. Old school styling way before the crowd-pleaser throwback shapes of the modern Challenger/Mustang/Camaro. It wasnt a great car obviously, its a plastic piece of poor quality sh*t on the inside. Just a bit ahead of its time, and drowned out by a mix of accountancy and not really fitting in...

Standard Deluxe 59 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I prefer a bench seat/column shift set up in full size cars, trucks and real body on frame SUVs. Bench seats have always been more comfortable in my opinion and the column shift set up feels more natural to me than the console shifter set up. I don't like four cylinder engines, every car except the '14 Buick Regal felt very underpowered and got terrible gas mileage for a four banger. Granted those other cars were an Impala, a Malibu, and an Altima. Nothing classes up a car's interior like wood trim. Goes better with velour or leather upholstery All a crossover is, is a bloated station wagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Testarossa Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Might be a bit of an unpopular opinion around here but I liked the A90 Supra ever since the leaks started being posted.

ChenChanechi Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Prius and PT Crusier are good cars compared to Fiat Multipla. Pickup trucks with engines smaller than V6 or V8 shouldn't exist. Even since the start all trucks had V8's, now that they make I4's is truly sad. Buying an really expensive off-road truck (example G65 6x6 or an Velociraptor, Lifted F350 etc.) for less than 1 mil dollars is way better than buying an supercar like LaFerrari (don't kill me I don't know what's the price for a LaFerrari but i'm sure it's like 1 million dollars). Buying an older luxurious and cheap car from 2000s is way better than buying a sh*tty new expensive economical car with barely features and comfort. Example: Buy a Phaeton instead of a new Polo.

Lotte Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 my unpopular opinion is when it comes to climate control, you really don't need more than three knobs (fan mode, fan speed, heat) with a button in the middle of each of them (rear window heat, circulate air, AC toggle). Literally anything more is overcomplicating it ?!=+_- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Ambient] Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Electric vehicles are doing pretty well and I think that by mid 2040's at least 50% of all vehicles with engine will be electric. I would rather own a well-built EV rather than a classic sports car. Testarossa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 (edited) The MK5 Supra is still a great car. I personally don’t see it as a bad thing that it has a BMW engine or that it only has 335hp. I think the car looks really nice and I’ve heard good things about it’s driving experience. The only thing I don’t really like about the car is the BMW interior, which is fine, but I wish it were driver focused like in the MK4. A lack of a manual transmission also kinda sucks. Finally, if Toyota knows people will 2JZ swap stuff, they should sell 2JZ or even 1JZ crate motors. I’m just really confused why the new Supra seems to get more hate than the new Chevy Blazer, at least Toyota stuck to their roots; the new Blazer is Eclipse Cross levels of blasphemy. Also, I don’t really like the Toyota Avalon, it replaced the Cressida here in the States and I just don’t see the need for the Avalon’s existence. To me, it’s just a restyled Camry with a nicer interior. It may have made sense in the early 90’s when Lexus was beginning to sell the LS400, but I don’t see the point in replacing the Cressida with the Avalon. Also, we probably would’ve got the 90 and 100 series Mark IIs as Cressidas if there was no Avalon. Edited July 26, 2019 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about the levers that actuate cables, those go back to the early days of automotive climate control. 50's technology right there.

I realize that, most cars from the 90s have them. Especially Japanese cars. I just prefer them to knobs because the knobs break over time, my '97 Escort Wagon has knobs, and they suck. If you turn them too fast, they'll fall off, and they can't work without them. But my fathers '96 Tacoma has no problems with the levers. Yes, the little plastic things at the end can fall off over time too, but they don't have an effect on the climate control system at all since you can just slide the levers left to right. No idea why I love talking about climate control systems in vehicles so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean O'God Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 only an unpopular opinion among bros who drive clapped out craigslist E36s, but awd BMWs are perfectly legitimate. I always hear "if you want awd, just get an Audi." that's dumb. the traction is as near as makes no difference in most cases and an xDrive BMW will still be dynamically superior to a comparable Audi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOW'S ANNIE? Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 I'm not a fan of power windows at all. Both cars I've owned have had them sh*t themselves within 12 months of acquiring the vehicle (granted these were both second hand cars). Looking into buying my first brand new car and what stood out to me with the base model Ford Fiesta was the fact it still had crank windows...

I don't really care what people drive, or how expensive or flashy a car is. They all serve the same purpose. Stop looking out, and look to within. Sure, vehicles can be correlated as a status symbol, but that’s not absolute. In fact, further from it than you think. The fact is, while some vehicles can move you physically, there are some that can move one’s soul. Some can be manufactured to such a degree, that the connection is paralleled to that of a companion; a friend, a horse, something real. A living thing. Now this connection I speak of rarely could happen traveling to the gas station, grocery store, or work. It comes by pushing the car to the limits and finding where it starts to break, usually on a heavily curvy road or track. Then, skating that line and exploring it. And when the car handles your demands surreptitiously, gracing you with predictability and composure, rewarding you the experience to further your own skill set as a driver, over time, a bond is established. Like a family pet, you know it’s strengths, it’s weaknesses, it’s rewards. It’s quite an experience. turbocharger and Standard Deluxe 59 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
