Default Cars that should have never existed

It's different than just ugly cars. What's the car you absolutely despise?

I've got one for you.
2005 Toyota Corolla XRS (US)
It's a dream for rice racer poseurs, but dropping a 170hp engine and sticking cheesy bumpers and spoiler doesn't make a Corolla a "sports sedan"


Look how high it's off the ground!


like it means ANYTHING!


WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? ...sob I hate it so much. Sheer rubbish.

I wouldn't exactly despise the corolla xrs but I fucking despise the H2 and any other that may follow it if you can't afford a real HUMMER H1 don't fuckin buy one go buy an Escalade or Denali. I love the HUMMER but the H2-3 etc... damnit! That and V6 Mustangs and Camaros again if you can't afford the real V8 version stay away from teh name all together I see tham on the streets and they think they're all that and then you blow them away and they looked suprised.

H2, H3, Expedition, Excursion, Suburban, Tahoe, Durango, Grand Cherokee, Explorer, Touareg, Cayenne, X5, X3, Escape, Tribute, Cherokee, Trailblazer, Jimmy, Suzuki X90, Grand Vitara, XL7...well...you get the gist of it...get rid of the fucking gas-hog, slow-ass, heavy, tax-incentive-meeting, massive SUVs, Pickups and Vans that so few people actually use for what they were intended.

basically every fuckin car that needs turbo's or superchargers to make power, unless it was made during the time F1 was allowed turbos, v6 Firebirds stangs and Camaros, almost all ricers especially the all show no go ones, which are most, 4 wheel drive pisses me off for a performance car, every porsche that needs a turbo to make power lolol, saying u got an F1 style transmission but its not an actual f1 transmission like Ferrari, M3 csl (i think), lambo, but actually just an automatic where u select the gears and tiptronic cause thats the same thing just an auto but u select the gear, like i understand that for cheap cars but for things like porsches and Mercedes thats very sad, and im sure theres more

Those damn "cars" just stop anywhere. As in anywhere. Whether they're in the innter, middle or outer lane. They dont signal when they'll stop either so you really have to be careful when you're behind one.

The saddest thing is that if they bump you they dont have any money to pay. You could get their jeepney but it's just about $2-3,000.

Well, you might say it is a poor man's Porsche. But still it is a great sports car in its own right. It definitely at the top or near the top of its class in terms of performance, and even if you factor in the price it still offers a good bang for the buck.

But yeah, I am thinking about getting a Boxster S, and that is only because I can't really afford a 911 right now.
