Audi. It isn't logical, just haven't gotten past the "ok, it's probably more reliable than a Fiat. Maybe" stigma from the 70's. And 80's. And 90's. And probably early 2000's.

FWIW, I said the exact same thing... until I drove one.

I don't say this lightly, the GT4 may actually be the most fun car I have ever been in. I don't like the base model AT ALL but IMO they don't look bad in GT4 trim. I still wouldn't pay the price that they want for them, but damn, what a blast to drive. For that same $ I'd most likely buy an older GT3 which ironically enough would be slower if I ever put it on a track.

The '99, '12 and '15 Passats I had, all leased or bought new, were trouble free.

When my Jewish Friends would drive them back in the 70's and 80's I'd reminded them of it's history. Never bothered them.

I love those cars. Only one NASCAR ever sent away.

Having owned over two hundred cars there's not too many I'd cull. Several I would never own, a couple previously mentioned. AMC Gremlin, Ford Pinto (except the little panel wagon), Pontiac Aztec, Chevy Avalanche (way too much plastic cladding), C5 Vettes (hate the rear), '62 Plymouth Valiant (looks like a frog to me), Citroen DS series (hell, most any French car), Plymouth K cars, Nissan Juke (just ugly). More I am sure but just what I can think of quickly.
