I think the Fiat 500 is a real good design. There are very few cars at that price, or in fact any price, that have been designed so much for the looks inside and out. And it works, it has been massively successful, being bought by girls for the looks rather than the car. (which is a good job, as its a crap car)

Now what I don't like is when Fiat try to maximise the success by selling those pig ugly cars that are meant to look like the 500 but are twice the size. I've no idea what they call them as I have no interest at all in them.

Mini do the same, they built a good looking small car, then build pig ugly big cars trying to make them look the same.

Range rover sport, totally grotesque and pointless. Nissan Juke, stupid shaped arse end. Honda Civic type R, overstyled and tacky. Citroen Picasso (first type) blobby blobby blobby.

I hate the re-born Mini and Fiat 500. Pure badge engineering and charmless to boot.
I quite like the Juke too, they make no sense at all, but at least they are not bland and boring.

I don't hate any car as such, but I do have an irrational dislike of the idea of driving a FWD car.

Any VAG car, can't really explain why, maybe because of their souless (to me) character and the fact they're so clinically designed and the way you can see which market segment they're going for

Audi - Top
VW - Poor mans Audi
SEAT - Poor mans VW
Skoda - Poor mans SEAT/taxi drivers only
Porsche? Lambo? Bentley?

I thought BMW wore the crown for milking the automotive tits out of the Mini brand but FIAT have jumped the shark with the 500 estate. No ..just no!

I can’t say I hate it though. I can’t ever hate a car but I can come very very close with the car people with nothing to live for choose... the Kia Carens. (Shudder)

The BMW Picasso thing . I think most if not all bmws are horrifically ugly and overly aggressive looking but that thing just takes the biscuit.

Also VW campervans and transporters. Drove by pretentious middle class throbs

Citroen Xsara Picasso. Looks like a testicle on wheels, generally driven badly by sweaty fat wkers with a bad attitude, Topped off with a generous sprinkling of obese offspring.
I do actually hate them.

The Toyota Prius. I don’t know why I hate them but it annoys me if they’re at the front of a taxi rank when I get there or turn up when I order an Uber.

All Vauxhall's, even the 2 good ones they've had (Monaro + VX220). I just can't get out of my head they are all driven by people who don't love cars.

I can’t remember the last time I saw a Prius that wasn’t a taxi/Uber although I’m not sure I could spot the new one vs any other Toyota.

While vehicles such as MPVs, SUVs, the Nissan Juke and the like are cars I heavily dislike, I can't say it is irrational.
I dislike them for the same reasons people on here do, they boring are only designed to make people feel bigger, the list goes on but it is not an irrational response in my eyes.

While it is not an individual car, rather a marque, my nomination is anything with a Ferrari badge.
From a purely subjective point of view I like the styling, the noise and from my limited experience the dynamics/abilities of them, but the level of arrogance displayed by the company regarding both road cars (example, Chris Harris Ferrari spins article) and Motorsport (every time they snub their very dedicated F1 fan base because the management or drivers are doing bad and having a sulk every other action in F1) leaves me cold to anything wearing a prancing horse badge, even though I know they are probably very good cars.

Why would you hate MPVs? I don't understand that. They are more practical than an equivalent SUV for carrying people, and that's what you are buying them for. I wish people would just accept they need an MPV rather than buying yet another ugly oversized SUV.
I gave my reasons, and I did put estate in as well. If given the choice I would buy an estate rather than an SUV, but an SUV is far more popular to the general public which is why I included it

For me, it's any SUV. I've corrected your post to explain my own reasons:

"I just don't understand them. You sacrifice looks, driving, economy for what? "Practicality"? An estate does the exact same purpose as an SUV but on the whole looks better, drives better and quite a few have surprisingly good economy for their size."

Hence, the ultimate irrational hatred of mine:

Porsche Cayenne.

Why buy?
I love Porsche so I can’t say anything about that one

However, I did put estate before SUV, and I do personally prefer an estate as well, an SUV is more popular to the general public though which is why I included it

I fully agree with your BMW Picasso thing. Didn’t even think about the BMW MPVs but they are certainly included in my hatred!
