MG ZT 260 - I liked the 190+ as a place to sit but the gearing drove me nuts, I'd imagine that the V8 would be very nice!

Crossfire - love 'em

Very classy and amazing when kitted out with good tyres.

BMW X6, there seems loads of hate for these and I have always liked them...
You want to try owning an X3 after Clarkson's rant on TG all those years ago, the way that 'hate' still tarnishes it is staggering.....hehe

I'm on my second and am looking now at a second generation version for my next car. It has a great blend of on-road ability with enough off-road ability for my needs combined with a hint of grunt. I'm one of those that does 'need' a 4x4 occasionally and an estate wouldn't be able to cope otherwise I'd be one of the sheep and have a 535d Touring smile

I love their functional look - Quasquis look like a normal car DELIBERATELY jacked up off the ground - which in reality is exactly what they are.

But the Yeti - its just functional and just designed to be what it is - a practical well thought out car - the 170 tdi 4 x 4 looks particularly interesting - as is the 1.8 tsi which (compared to the 170 tdi) seems so epically pointless that its just awesome.

Ive got a particular thing for some mid/late 90s VW stuff at the moment - the 95 to 02 Polo - especially the facelift model, the Vento (1.9 tdi GL if such things still exist biggrin) and Polo/Cordoba estate.

I realise they are all probably crap (the 90s VWs) - that's part of the appeal biggrin

If the snotter needs something more then glowplugs to sort its unhappy with life approach to starting from cold - then I may be in a Grandad spec* Passat soon biggrin

  • what else would you describe a 2.0 115 ps petrol automatic B5.5 with velour interior and wood trim - was the most promising looking thing on the classifieds yesterday frown

This generation S4 with the 4.2 V8. They had really indifferent reviews, I just think it's a really smart looking car, plus it has a big V8.

I parked next to a really well looked after older X3 the other day and thought what a nice motor it looked and I once had a little play with a X3 35d in my old M3 and they soon went very high up in my estimations! biggrin

The latest one looks a great package too. smile

I aspire to a Panamera Turbo as a daily. Lovely looking and sounding things.

I also love the look of the Audi A2, if i was looking for a shed, that's what i'd go for.

I don't like 911‘s but I do like 928‘s so I guess that goes against the flow.

Er... I seem to be in agreement with most of the posts on here so far - but that can't be right as that can't mean they are cars "no-one" likes :-)

I thought everyone loved those '59 Caddys?

I have a particular fondness for the old Kia Magentis for reasons I can't fathom - just on looks. I suspect it's the low glassline and gaudy chrome.

SLK 55 AMG - I know it's 'only' 360 bhp from a 5.4l engine, but it's in a car the size of a slipper.

I really loved my 80's Skoda Rapide at a time when Skodas were less desirable than dog sh?t on your toothbrush.

Count me in on the 996.

I'll also nominate the Rover 75. A fluffy pillow of waft.
My old neighbour has one always polishing and washing his Rover 75.

My favourite the Ugly Duck Citroen.

Japanese 80s coupes like the mk3 Supra or 300zx.
