What Vehicle Are You Ashamed To Admit You Want?

[Nerdsrock22]

This thread was going on at Jalopnik, and I thought it was pretty interesting.


All day long we talk about cars we'd like to own, love to own, have to own. Then there are these other cars, the ones we desire but don't talk about. What vehicle are you ashamed to admit you want?

So what's your guilty pleasure?

Here's mine.

lol,i loved my 3rd gen.

but i cant think of anything i want that I'd be ashamed of,but sure others would wonder what i was thinking...lol

How in the hell is a Camaro a guilty pleasure? lol I loved mine. Polo Green with Gold stripes was so pretty.

Mazda MX-3. It has to be the K8-DE V6.

A Camaro is quite a stretch for a Honda nutswinger like myself. I've driven a couple, and they are so rugged...almost truck like. But there is something raw about them that I could never get in a Honda.

Yeah, I understand. I went from a 95 Civic to a 92 RS LS1 swap. I must say I loved the handling. Mine was lowered about 2.5 inches. The suspension needed to be changed badly but it still handled great.

LOLOL! What?

huh? lol Shitty ass cut springs from the previous owner and warn out suspension, yet it still handled pretty well for the condition it was it.

[HypnoToad]

i had a 91 camaro with welded in subframe connectors,lowered with eibach sportline springs and kyb shocks and struts. It was very fun car,did many mountains runs in it.

only car i can think of i could put on here would be the kia forte koup.

Suzuki Kizashi - I think it'd make a fantastic daily driver. It looks great, it's got a nice interior, it's apparently quite good to drive, and it has a good set of standard equipment for a good price.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2658/4088544338_2b5721ff57_b.jpg

Jaguar XJR - I don't care if it's an old man's car...I think it's absolutely gangster. I think it's gorgeous, it sounds good, and it's everything I want in a luxury car. I'm picky though...I only like the 2003 models, the 2007 - 2009 models, and the 2010 model.

Buick Regal GS - I'm only somewhat "embarrassed" because it's a Buick...but it's a great car. Just an Opel Insignia right? If I got one, I'd just change out all the badges.

Ford Mustang - I've never liked these cars past the 70s, but when the latest model came out I was REALLY taken by them...and now the 5.0 liter engine is coming and I just don't think it can get much better. I would love to have a new Mustang GT.
http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Ford/Ford-Mustang_GT_2010-Image-00017-800.jpg

Audi Allroad - I like this style for some reason...seems like a comfortable car I could live with, and I wouldn't grit my teeth if I have to get its feet dirty. I don't know if that's even a good explanation. I just like them. I like wagons...and this is a quirky twist.
http://www.jeepinfo.ru/photo/wallpapers/1024x768/audi-allroad11.jpg

Volvo XC70 - Same reason as the Allroad. I like the V70R as well, but that's not so much a "guilty pleasure." I'd admit I want a V70R before I say anything about an XC70.

Yea but I'm okay with that...because it's not a complete pig. I don't expect it to have BMW handling, but I don't think it lacks any finesse whatsoever. Besides, it keeps costs down and that holds a bit of appeal to me. I'm Indian after all...hahahaha.

Toyota Celica, I don't really care anymore about what people think. This car looks great, and I could care less if it is a "girl's car". I am not ashamed anymore.

[VooDooXII]

I don't think the Celica is a girl's car...but I certainly wouldn't say it looks good! My cousin has a red GT-S like that one though. They're good fun to drive. Great car actually...I just don't like how they look.

Jeep Cherokee - I'm not big for SUVs, but there are a couple I like...I mean I'd proudly admit to wanting a Range Rover or a Touareg TDI. I don't know why I like the Jeep Cherokee so much. I think they look good and they're one of the last "real" Jeeps. Actually, if I could get a diesel engine and a manual transmission in it...that'd be my daily forever.
http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/3236/2541/33088770001_large.jpg

Cadillac Eldorado ETC - I always used to like these because I thought they looked very "mafia." The car itself isn't really that great I guess. Northstar engine is fantastic, but the transmission it's paired to is super slow and it's front wheel drive on top of everything. There's just something about this car that appeals to me. No idea what it is. Same goes for the Deville DTS.

Let me go ahead and preface this with the fact that I don't really hang out with car people, especially import car people. All of my best friends drive pick-ups or SUVs. My girlfriend refers to my WRX as a Kia (jokingly, but still). So, I wouldn't really be ashamed to admit this to IA, but definitely would be to the people I actually spend my time with.

That being said:

That's probably due to the build quality and a good deal of cheapass idiotic owners. I really like clean stockish looking ones.

Is the build quality that bad? Most of the owner reviews I've read suggest they aren't terrible.

[scooby_snack]

I spent a summer working on a friend's one with an SR20 swap and it really did feel like a cheap jap car. The interior pieces were dreadful and lots of parts would break. You've also gotta bare in mind we're talking about an affordable at the time, 20 year old Jap car, so it's to be expected really. If you're just going to straight up gut it, cage it and racing seat it then you'll be good to go and end up with an affordable setup.

[Elbow]

My experience with 240's has been sad. I've worked on a LOT of 240's and all of them had stupid typical issues here and there, the motors and drivetrains are great but everything else sucks.

Yes, Opie Caylor. I have never really met a Celica owner who was into modding or any sort of enthusiast. I am seriously contemplating on getting one of these as a DD and then save of for a 2JZGTE swap into a Lexus SC. That is if I can keep my self from buying an SC first lol


I love those celicas

I came close to getting a gt-s instead of my integra. Sometimes I regret getting the integra instead

I think they are a lot better than an Integra. They weigh about the same depending on the trim, and just as much power. The Celica's engine is overlooked so much but it has potential. It just deserved something better compared to what it was in the past.

yeah, me too. I just meant a modded cube like that. A decent, non-herrafrush drop and some nice wheels? Mobile porn haus.

thats a beat,right?

[VooDooXII]

DaX on here used to have a Honda Beat. I've seen it in person...haha it is TINY!

Pretty cool little car.

I like the MG ZT V8...converted from front wheel drive to rear wheel drive with a Mustang's V8 in it. Would you believe that it was designed by Peter Stevens, the same guy who did the McLaren F1?
http://www.carforums.net/reviews/makes/pictures/mg07.jpg

Also, I really liked the Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter at one point. I thought it was brilliant to have a 10-passenger van that could get nearly 30 mpg. One slightly styled up like this...awesome.

Saturn Ion Redline - I would love to build one of these, swap the pulley and smoke some guy at the light.

Datsun 720 - My best friend has an '81. I want it just to RB26 swap it (like the one in the picture). It would cause a panic at the track.

[VooDooXII]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he was a Tech student.

He was. His handle on here is "DaX."

Cool guy...he's got a collection of rare and ancient Hondas. He's about 6 feet tall...he said he just fit in it. Haha another thing...he goes, "It's pretty peppy and it keeps up with traffic. You just have to get used to the engine spinning at 6000 RPM on the highway."

Here's a car I'm only really guilty to admit to liking just because everyone else seems to make fun of it. I think the C4 Corvette is my favorite body style, and I love the early ZR-1 and the Grand Sport.
http://image.corvettefever.com/f/9305364/corp_0512_1_z+1996_chevrolet_corvette_grand_sport+ overhead_view.jpg

[HypnoToad]

I love Grand Sports,deff would rather drive a GS than a ZR-1. The LT4 is pretty good engine for the time,think it made round 400BHP but was down played to 330BHP(i believe) because of the LS1 coming the following year.

I can't find the picture on here but a member on here had a black Mazda MX-6 with a crazy body kit and aftermarket projector headlights..."rice" by most people's standards but I really liked it for some reason. Reallllly guilty pleasure because I feel like I'm the only one who likes it.

I know what you mean. I remember someone posted a thread about this car and a lot of people didn't like it. I thought it was the sickest 2g MX6 I've ever seen. And I really don't like 2g MX6's

Other than being harder to work on, really, what's wrong with FWD? The only thing is you can't drift like you can a RWD.

[VooDooXII]

These are cars I'll willingly admit to liking, however most people would be baffled by why I'd ever like them.

Lotus Esprit - It's old, it's clunky, there are probably so many cars that are better but I have such a soft spot for this car. It's just an honest-to-God mid-engined sports car and yet there's still something unconventional about it. When's the last time you saw an Esprit? From what I know, it's not that great of a car...awkward driving position, skittish handling, dubious reliability, but dammit it's charming.
http://www.gulum.net/arabalar/resimler/lotus-esprit08-1024.jpg

Acura Legend Coupe - It's elegant...don't care if it's an old man's car. I think it's very stylish and it makes for a very comfortable ride.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e3/Acura_Legend_Coupe3.jpg/800px-Acura_Legend_Coupe3.jpg

Bentley Continental T/R - I really don't know what to say...I like these much better than the new Continental GT and they're more accessible than the newer Brooklands. Don't know why they made that car so exclusive when it's just an "Arnage Coupe" or a "hardtop Azure."
http://www.autoweb.co.uk/compupix/bentley-continental-coupe-petrol_352349.jpg

Honda Prelude - I'm never one for Hondas but I love the Prelude. I wish they still built something like it. I like the early one and the last one.
http://enjoymotocar.com/download/26042-2/Honda-Prelude+1997+%2304.jpg
http://i42.tinypic.com/fxe35t.jpg

Morgan Aeromax - I know taking chances with design is a pretty bad idea in the auto industry but holy hell Morgan makes a GORGEOUS car. I know plenty of people would write this off as terribly ugly, but that's really where any "shame" is. I love this thing.
http://www.clivesutton.co.uk/images/Morgan/Aeromax/Morgan-Aeromax-leadbig1.jpg

Citroen C6 - I really just like how strange this car is. I think it looks sinister personally. No shame in admitting to liking a few other Citroens though...the new C5 is beautiful. It'd make a nice Audi alternative.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/72/Citroen-c6-05big.jpg

Volvo 780 Bertone - I like big coupes, I love those old Volvos...best of both worlds. Yea it's boxy and plain but there really is something stylish about it. Maybe I just like that boxy style...

i havent really seen or heard of the euro spec parts for a festy.... but i will be looking into it since i might be doing a swap in the 323 :ninja:
