Surely no-one can hate a hand-built Bentley.

Continental R?

My nominations- Rover P5? Old and classy without being pretentious IMO. I guess terminally dull for some though.

Great shout on the P5, even the Queen has a couple of these.

In which case, my anti-establishment past hates it. And my new money future hates it too. Which means that today. Meh.

The original Sports Saloon. Surely can't be hated.

Hate is the wrong word but I can't see the appeal. German equivalent of a Cortina isn't it?

[Blib]

A Stratos was mentioned earlier. But, shirley no true PHer could possibly hate an Alitalia Grp4, square arch Lancia Stratos?

The '02 is more Escort sized, but you get an OHC motor, IRS, frameless windows, velour, ...

I remember contracting at a place where the company owner was in the factory meeting where he was telling the staff "There would be no pay rise this year and possibly some redundancies due to the poor economy"

His secretary came up and whispered in his ear, and he went out to the car park to take delivery of one of these.

A) If there's anyone on here from that factory, I bet they hate them.
B) when he said due to the poor economy........

Don't think that I have read any negativity towards the Legacy... Possible contender?

Haha, yes, I can see that not going down too well. Were any of the staff PHers though? You could also say that he was supporting the British economy by buying a Bentley!

If you mean this handsome beast, then yes



probably not this one though!



It was always a shame that the Spec B lacked the air scoop of other fast Subarus though (I know it was for the turbo and the Spec B isn't turbocharged). I fully expect to see comments like bland/ugly, cheap interior, high CO2s/fuel consumption and 4WD is unecessary and crap from the BMW massive though!

Defender - Awful to drive other than in a field
Bowler Wildcat - YES
Mondeo ST - No its a boring rep mobile (and a ford)
Lotus Exige - Not a fan of the new shape old and in orange yes
Original mini - No - with a VTEC engine or Z-Car conversion yes
Original yank muscle car - potentially, I prefer the new challenger and charger but classic mustang

What about a Plymouth Superbird, who doesn't love the biggest spoiler known to man.

[DeolTheBeast]

NSX must be up there. Would love to here any doubters about it.

I can concur with that. I know it's a BMW 3 series but that's all. There's so many about and the way people refer to them all by E-numbers is rather off-putting.
