Is there a car that no-one on PH hates?

BMW 320D
Good joke, BMW M1 or Z8 could bossily be in there. Focus definitely not, Quattro seems to be loved by all, delta some will moan about LH drive, rust, reliability. The Carlton could do it but as said some people just say they don't like something to be awkward.
I say Opel omega evo 500

Mission impossible? The petrolhead sacrilege thread was a very interesting read and it seems that not everyone likes Ferraris, Porsches, Astons and MX5s! Does such a car exist that everyone on PH likes it at least a little bit (or at least doesn't hate it)? Now, it obviously can't be an SUV/estate/convertible or a BMW/Audi or a diesel or French!
Here's a few suggestions (I've thought about them in terms of driven wheels):
FWD
I've avoided all the hot hatches and plumped for the humble mk1 Focus petrol (not the ST or RS though).
Practical, reliable, cheap to run, a decent steer, still looks great IMHO and available for shed money now. Does cheap shed motoring get any better? Surely even the most ardent FWD hater can't hate a 100bhp shopping hatch for what it is? Possibly the most classless car that Ford ever made (I know several wealthy people who have a mk1 Focus on the fleet) and successfully shrugged off the chavvy image of the Escort. I should have bought one instead of the mk4 Golf that I bought. Much better car!
4WD
Surely the RWD fanboys wouldn't object as much to something 4WD?
I was going to suggest the Audi Quattro
as there wasn't so much hate for Audis in the 1980s but I know of at least one person that doesn't like them, so maybe
or
Never read a bad word about the ST205 Celica GT4 on here, although the standard wheels (3-spokers?) were pretty hideous.
RWD
mk2 MR2 Turbo?
NSX?
Classics
Range Rover Classic?
Interceptor?
MkII Jag?
Aston Vantage?
Any other suggestions, as to a car that no-one would hate?
Good suggestions in the original post. Anything too overtly noisy or racy can be considered a bit crass. So the Lancia and Aston are out. However, the NSX oozes class.Here's a few suggestions (I've thought about them in terms of driven wheels):

Class is something you'd never accuse a TVR or Lotus Carlton of having.
