car makes that become more appealing...?

[4dmin]

do you have a make you really never cared for but after you drove or owned one you gained appreciation for?

for me it is mercedes benz...

i bought a c230 kompressor a while back and i throughly enjoy this car. never had one issue, drives like a dream and i beat the sh!t out of the supercharger as much as possible. now after seeing the new C series i'm really impressed i really would love to upgrade; i think all of the new models from the c300 to the c63 amg are just f'n sick! :goodjob:

any makes you feel the same about?

[Killer]

well.... i use to not much care for the evo's.... like when the evo 8 was the newest thing out... i didn't much care for them...

but the body grew on me more and more... then i've driven eds a few times now.. and i love them..... i guess that's about it... but that's not a make.. just a model....

[Brett]

Sometimes even simple things like the wheels the car comes with can set a car off so nice that it makes me want it along with performance and style

[Killer]

oh.. another is the honda element... the first gen....

absolutely thought they were the worst thing i'd ever seen...

then i rode in a few.. and the inside made it more appealing.. i drove one a couple times too and liked how smooth it was... again.. that's a model.. not a make.. but still same concept...

[Barefoot]

im with killer on that evo 8 thing

[AnthonyF]

I didnt care much at all for evos, hated 'em. After driving and getting to "know" them they are great reliable cars. I wont ever appreciate German cars. When you work on cars, you dislike more and more cars. haha

MB too

Thinking about getting a C32, after seeing the C63. Don't want to pay $65K for the C63 right now because in 3 yrs I can get one for $25K

[SixSquared]

The 1st gen Scion xB's. I never cared for them at all, thought they were just weird looking.. not necessarily ugly, just weird looking. Then my best friend got one and we went on a drive and my mind completely changed. It was one of the most comfortable econoboxes I've ever been in, and there were a bunch of cool little accessories and hidden storage compartments on the inside... not even to mention the fact that there's cargo room for years. We went on a ride out to Commerce and back and by the time we got back I loved it.

[ksniperfox]

idk about more appealing, but the one make i hate more and more every time i step inside any of its models is GM for sure.

i think all of the throw back models and new retro designs are hot! not including big american muscle. i remember when the PT came out i was like WTF; finally between the mustang, charger, challenger, camaro, etc american cars are becoming more appealing as well. i would totally rock a challenger specially for 37k w/ 425hp 6.1L HEMI :D

[eViLMunkey]

there are too many blindspots in the Elements due to the split doors... I'm looking at the new TDi Jetta or I might say screw it and go for a new S4

i'll call you when i get off work.

[The Yousef]

Volkswagens. i used to make fun of them (a lot) and said they were were girly cars and are overrated and have random electrical problems, but after driving some i have truly changed my mind.

horsepower per mod and fit and finish is impeccable, granted it is viewed as girly to some but fuk it. i had a pink prelude so this is an upgrade. :lmao:

[Nemesis]

Muscle Cars... I love GTOs, Mustangs, anything with a V8 and RWD. Ive always liked them but never owned one. I came from a boosted AWD car as well.

Honestly, I want a Challenger for my next car.

[Kevykev]

I was going to type a contributory reply until i sequentially read post #20 and 21.

anyway..

I really disliked the Honda brand a before the turn of the century. After running projects on a few, i've gained respect for the automaker.

[tony]

I never cared for American Muscle but I've been seriously considering dropping the G and going for restoring a Camaro

restoring or doing a retro rod?

do the latter...for the latter is the sh1t.

[Kyle]

BMW's. Driving the e60 530i reallly impressed me. Handling and responsiveness was really much better than I would ever imagine.

Lol try working on some BMWs or a Mk2 Jetta with a CIS 1.8l engine. :lmao:

Fun cars, but they can be a pain in the ass to work on.

Retro Rod, as you can see I have some research to do...

[0p7!mu5]

If I could afford it by august I would go for the new Audi RS5 or even just the S5 http://www.egmcartech.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/audi_rs5_car_mag.jpg

[Revmaynard]

I have a lot of respect for Volvo's after owning one. It was my first FWD car (850 GLT) but it drove like a dream and had amazing creature comforts. But you can never go wrong with a good ol' rwd v8! :goodjob:

[ironchef]

Maserati. The Quattroporte and the new Gran Turismo (S) are pwnsos.
