What car that's generally respected/liked by car enthusiasts do you absolutely hate?
 
It's been a while since this one has been asked.

Let the :issues: begin.

Other than the Pontiac Aztec, I don't really hate any cars. Having said that, I would never personally own a Ford Mustang.

:iagree: I've owned a number of Fords that I really liked, but they haven't ever built a Mustang that I've ever wanted.

Just the Corvette.

Jaguar .... they may look nice, but they will always carry the stigma from the years of being garbage

Porsche. The world leader in "Hey, buy the same car from 1940's-We've changed the headlight trim ring this year !"

Boxster and Gayman err caiman I don’t care how they perform or handle, they’ll always be one step below a Prius as far as I’m concerned.

I'll give you the Boxter, but the Cayman? Nothing wrong with a Cayman GT4. :shrug:

385hp 911 naturally aspirated engine in a sub 3k pound car with an actual 6 speed manual and aero that actually does something? That's a f-ing blast to drive.

They ran Nurburgring laps only 2 seconds off of a C6 ZR1 despite 250 less horsepower. There are a whole lot of chest puffers in Vettes looking at GT4 tail lights at tracks every weekend.

...as for the original question asked, I can't stand the GTR. Yea, they're fast as hell but ugly as shit and the most boring thing on wheels to drive. I wouldn't call it "hate" but so far despite whatever magazine numbers are out there, I've yet to see a C7 that even begins to move the excitement needle.

My first car was a '57 Ford Fairlane. I had lots of fun with that car, and loved the way it looked, but every moving part in that car except the rear end was garbage. I only had to own one Y-Block to be sure that I would never own another one. Of course the T-Birds shared the powertrain and many other parts with the Fairlane. Beautiful cars, but nope.

Lambo Miura. Yes it is the seminal supercar but it faces the world with two black eyes: it looks like it lost to Foreman, Ali and Tyson all in the same fight.

And yet they are considered one of the most beautiful cars ever, and you can't touch one for less than $1 mil. Still an Italian piece of trash, no different than the Countach, but still collectible.
