The Globe and Mail did the appropriate thing and calculated out the price in Canadian in maple syrup. 70 to 100 bottles! That’s so much more useful. Can you chug an iPhone? No, no you can’t.

I believe one of the reasons those crazy lux packages exist on all those trucks is to get around luxury taxes. Instead of buying a luxury sedan that would get hit with crazy taxes, you’re buying a tool with just normal taxes, and in some cases depending on your profession or stated use, maybe even a write-off.

Nissan Tiida (I don’t know or care what it was called in the USA). This is the car that replaced the Pulsar/Sentra which wasn’t at all terrible, especially the Pulsar hatch. The Pulsar was basic, tossable and had a fun little engine. Lots of my friends had Pulsars at Uni. The Tiida came out to replace it and it looked…

Take it back or I’ll make you sit in one and burn your legs on the exhaust on the way out!

Seriously, though - these things make no sense, they hold their value, but if I had money to burn I’m not sure I would take any other “toy” car over this thing. 

I agree the Avenger is crap, but at least it brought us the most obscene Regular Car Reviews video ever, and for that I will always be grateful.

My ex-wife bought a silver ‘08 Avenger R/T brand new.

This is good “irrational” hate. The RSX by itself, in a vacuum is a damn good car. The fact that it is a follow up to one of the best front drivers ever makes people irrationally hate it, but with good reason, as you’ve laid out.

My ex-wife bought a silver ‘08 Avenger R/T brand new. I get a low-level anxiety attack every time I see one on the road.

OMG, this. I know one (1) person who has an F-350 and actually uses it for truckly, construction-related things. And—gasp—he doesn’t have a King Ranch Platinum Laredo package with leather interior and heated sunvisors.

The Tesla Model S and Model X.

You forgot preemptively slowing down for green lights because “it will turn red sometime”.

*cough*

Honda CR-V

Same thing pretty much - mine is the Dodge Caliber, though it’s not totally unreasonable. It’s just a deliberately awful car in every sense. Throw in the Dodge Avenger too for all the same reasons.

Look upon this vehicle and despair. Just imagine driving this uninspired and anemic this four-pot without becoming filled with irrational loathing.

Chrysler PT Cruiser. It’s not me that hates it... it’s just that everyone else seems to.

It’s a bit specific, but the Maserati Ghibli is a Maserati only in badge, full of GM parts, and is a fast way to throw away $50,000 for a used car. Yes twin-turbo V6, but you’ll never use half of that on the Saturday’s nights you park it downtown and tell everyone you own an “exotic.”

Lexus RX SUV.

Crossover SUVs are for minivan deniers.

Eh I like it because it’s different and unique, unlike the rest of the CUVs.
