    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.


    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.


    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.


    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.


    I may come up with more later.

    EJ...the Feel's Civic is classic. Don't let anybody fool you otherwise.

    Here's another one for me. I think these are dead sexy.

    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.

    I am assuming you know Skip. You work there?

    Baja Bugs are one of the funnest vehicles for off road.

    yah i know the crew there: Huey, Skip, Opie, Dave and Lindsey

    i dont work there but Huey and the guys would help our race team out with information and parts for our race cars at SPSU. skip is a pretty funny guy whenever you go to their shop.

    Skip and Opie are a lot of fun to watch race around TGPR. last track day they had there Opie was 1/100th of a sec off the fastest lap time there ever.

    yah id want to make it a baja bug to go offroading. its either that or a decked out FJ cruiser

    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.

    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.


    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.



    Fornasari RR99 - I'm really only "ashamed" because this car looks so wild. It's got an LS-something engine from a Corvette, 600+ horsepower, and a badass interior. Yes, those are Lamborghini tail lights.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Faster then a Civic, looks better, and they handle damn well. I wouldn't be ashamed at all to own one except for the fact the majority of Celica owners can be compared to the Neon type crowd.

    I love those celicas

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