I’d personally avoid the first-gen Vipers for the second shocking thing they were known for (the first being a V10):

Here’s the thing though - to most people, those look bad.

The latter is absolutely hilarious...

The Jeep hatch and truck bed are bugging me out bad...

I want to know how much bigger it is than the old Ranger.
I want to know if I can get a single cab with 2wd and manual transmission.
I want to know how it looks body dropped, C-notched, and on bags.
I want to know how it looks with a roll pan and without silly side stickers.
I want to know if it’s really the small truck…

The Civic Sport has no turbo, but gets some of the looks and suspension work of the Si. It’s not exactly an Si with no turbo, but that’s the right train of thought.

I feel like that’s a mistake...

Absolutely killer.

Definitely “love”.

Not so much “better” as “blander”... Which unfortunately runs counter to the fundamental intent of the Aztek in the first place.

“Maintenance” is not only another differentiator, but a key potential ruiner.

Truth.

But will it be a return to classic, timeless, stylish ‘Vettes?

Since you can’t go back in time - make sure you don’t need to go back in time.

I’m pretty sure the answer is “because Pep Boys stigma” - but why has no one ever used that taillight black-out spray to simply darken out all the non-headlight runny egg plastic?

Ugly is simply relative. As in, compared to it's own earlier (and later) relatives.

The current Fit is probably the most attractive subcompact short of a much more expensive and less practical MINI, so I think Honda making it ugly would be a disappointment.

Stop trying to make "fetch" happen, Gretchen...

I feel like this is aimed at people who are otherwise cross-shopping for a Kia Optima...

Any race that starts with real production cars is always worth watching, way way way better than totally artificial cars with artificial limitations and super fake bodies that only turn left.
