For 95% of the population in this country a hybrid is plenty good enough.  In fact, most people don’t even want one of those. 

How about inexpensive, personal paint selections from the factory? A lot of manufacturers do “special” colors, but only for one year, and then discontinue them altogether.  What if I want a purple truck?  A yellow SUV?  These things should be optional.  

The first-gen Jeep Compass. They didn’t even bother adding some padding and vinyl coverings to the armrests - door and center - which would have cost Chrysler what - one dollar more per vehicle? I have never driven a vehicle with a less comfortable interior.

The interior of these reminds me of all of these new build, gray and white homes that kinda look nice but also kinda look cold, like they’re lit by fluorescent bulbs.  Not a huge fan of the robotic modern look. 

Good to drive and good looking shouldn’t be mutually exclusive, BMW.

Confused at how the STI isn’t on this list.  It might be the most iconic “too big” wing of all time. 

The first thing that comes to mind is the Mitsubishi Raider, which is surprising considering I’ve seen ONE of them on the road in my entire lifetime. 

Even though I am nowhere near the target market for it, I remember being personally offended by the Fiat 500 by Gucci.  Nobody who could actually afford Gucci stuff would ever buy this.

My dad bought one of these for me as a kid, I don’t remember exactly what it was but it wasn’t as fancy as this one. It had the little remote controls, you could add bumpers on curves, customize the track, buy different skins for the cars. Man, was it fun.

I had Hotwheels and Matchbox cars as a kid, but what really got me in to cars was Xbox. My game collection was basically Halo and about 20 different racing games. These four in particular come to mind. I could play these for entire days at a time.

British? German? Italian? You haven’t mentioned Finnish....

Go drive a new WRX.  It’s definitely still a WRX.

One of my favorite cars is the S-Class. The big wart on this car’s resume is the fourth generation W220, which proves that Diamler can ruin anything it gets its hands on. Diamler cheapened out on what makes an S-Class an S-Class - engineering - to stuff the car with tech. The result was one of the most unreliable and

The “Automatic Pre-Collision Braking” in my Outback works. In fact, it works almost too well, slowing the car and sounding the alarm if I get close enough to someone before changing lanes, if it thinks I’m not braking hard enough to avoid hitting someone in front of me who’s turning right, if I accelerate quickly

This and the helpless kitten (look it up) are heartbreaking. 

When I was in high school I was backing out of the garage to go to work and ripped the side-view mirror off of my dad’s 5-month-old Mazda 6. Panic set in. Body pumping with pure adrenaline I drove to Home Depot instead of work and bought a clamp, gorilla glue, black caulking and a cheap caulk gun.

They should have never dropped the 6.4 from this car in the first place.

I bought my car because (and this is VERY Subaru) it’s an ideal blend of car and SUV and it fits my lifestyle. The older I get, the more I want to be comfortable. The Outback fits that bill. I also wanted something that can occasionally get me to a remote camping spot, or trailhead, etc., with all of my gear, and this

This was definitely the peak of Subaru Legacy and Outback styling. After this it got boring, and now it’s just strange.

The Wagoneer is one of the ugliest cars on sale in the USA.  It looks like a school bus.
