I nominate the new Scirocco. Every time I'm behind one, I am angered by it's big fat squashed arse and ridiculous proportions, the fact it looks more like a Megane than true to a Scirocco, the fact it's a Golf-shape hatch, not a coupe, the rear lights are rubbish and really annoying in shape and layout, like a half-sucked pear drop. The rear hatch and glass look as useful as Chris Evans at a good-looking bloke contest. I can't stand them.

The Chrysler 300C is another though it was good when it was first designed. Now I don't know what it really represents but fear the people who drive them do so because they think of them as some faux Bentley. However, I can't say I loathe it like I do the Scirocco.

So what's your gut reaction object of hate?

Edit: Actually just generally hideous all round.

I don't really hate cars for what they are, i mostly hate the fictitious person who the manufacturer create in their advertising and branding, when trying to sell the car to real people who they think will identify with that construct. I tend to hate cars which are associated with brand-construct fake people who are s.

Not sure if that makes sense.

It's also a contradiction because i hate the brand construct fake person who buys a bmw, but i have a bmw, even though i don't identify with their marketing at all.

I'll shut up now.

Carry on.

Stupid post.

I'm not a big fan of those Warrior/Animal type pick up things.

I find many of the drivers to be plebeians and the vehicles themselves are poor.

Nothing really, except for anything with front fog lights on, or cars with really stupid wky attention whoring DRL's instead of normal acceptable DRL's like most other manufacturers have.

They usually have those stty number plates with a poor attempt at the word 'big' in them too. Like B16 COK, or B19 TIT.

I know that last one's not legal, but that's what I read when I see them!

Needless to say I haven't seen many, but my observation of the ones I have seen has been chav.

Maybe your observation is different, what are the things you think it is?

Merc R 'Class' and BMW 5 GT. Niche creation gone mad.


Both are a prime example of the value of the saying "Just because you can, doesn't mean you should"

Edit to add: also, most US truck based 4x4 SUVs. The things are fking terrible on the whole, and are a prime example of why the US auto industry is in such deep st. Their total lack of quality when compared to Euro and Jap rivals reminds me of how far adrift MG/Rover products looked towards the end.

Bottom of the market Chevrolet (Daewoo??), not the car as such, but they attract a certain mentality.

I don't get angry about it but the proportions are by any reasonable measure "all wrong".
