Someone in the 998 thread asked if Porsche will ever kill off the 911 which got me thinking, what car would you kill off if you had the opportunity and why?

Avensis - no offence to anyone that has one but they are incredibley boring cars.

The Nissan Micra. Don't know why I just hate it with a passion.
Most big fat American metal, big underpowered under engineered and crap quality

Avensis and Prius both serve a purpose and fit into a section of the market though.

Try to think of something which is bettered in every respect by something else, ie. there's no reason to buy one.

Mondeo, I know they are good cars but when I see them I just think of a sales rep from Slough.

I'm tempted to agree but they provide me much needed hilarity when I see them.

Peugeots from 307 on...

I quite like them, would rather see something unusual on the road than a dull barge

John Merrick was unusual, I'd not want him as a dinner guest.

The Citroen Picasso irritates the crap out of me for some reason.

If I could retrospectively remove one sort of car from existence, it would be the VW Golf in all it's permutations from Mk2 onwards.

....just like a Golf.

No, it's just like a lorry.
