Self Confessed Hypocrite
Discussion
Not yet, but with the habit I have of disliking things at launch followed by a change of mind later on, it's only a question of time...

I kind of did with the VX, as I'd previously disliked the Elise. Got my "just desserts" when a mate called out "LOOK, A REAL ONE" when an Elise passed by while stopped in a junction in the VX. Funny guy!

Like vx220 said I often dislike cars from launch and then a couple of months/years later they grow on me!
My worst hypocritical habit is to put down a manufacturer. Most have at least one car I eventually have to suck it up and say 'yeah it's alright'. Ford have done it twice to me this year wth the focus RS and mustang!

t I'd ever owned 
I was not a fan when the new BMW MINI was launched.
As a youth I'd enjoyed the original Mini and thought the new one was a cynical pastiche of its forebearer.
But we now had a 2005 R53 Mini Cooper S as part of the fleet and I really do like it.
Still don't like the newer MINI variants though

Has anyone else slagged off a car on a forum telling all how they'd never be seen dead in one only to find themselves taking a shine to it later on and buying the self same car.
Personal tastes do change over time. When I was at school I said I hated Japanese cars - that's when they were a lot tinnier than now (cars I mean, not schools 
). Now I love them (cars again), and my normal purchase is any Japanese / Asian family saloon, with as much waft-along character as possible (although I can't afford the Lexus LS).I seem to recall when I was very young (19 and driving a 200SX) dismissing MX5s with the comment "how can you call something that slow a sportscar".
10 years later I bought one for the missus and immediately realised that actually it was far more of a sportscar than the WRX I had at the time and indeed pretty much any of the fast cars I'd owned before. I ended up driving one for the next few years and still love them.
