Civic's, because V-tec! Exept for a yellow Type R that is the only exeption, But it has to be stock! Oh god why? And why the spoiler? Why the fuck would you put a spoiler on a FWD car anyway? This is the only exeption for a Civic, a stock yellow Civic Type R! And by the way, really love the look of that steering wheel! MOMO did a relly great job making on that one!
there's nothing wrong with civics, so many teenagers just ruin them with ricer modifications, but normal civics are just fine
This. The EG is one of the best looking hatchbacks ever IMO. Sometimes a very basic design is the best. So many people just ruin the car with stupid modifications...
1982-1988, 1989-1994 J-body (Chevrolet Cavalier, Buick Skyhawk, Oldsmobile Firenza, Cadillac Cimarron, Pontiac J2000/2000 Sunbird/Sunbird, probably something I forgot) (imported from here) I have one of these, I love it, and I wouldn't trade it for any Honda or Toyota in the world. But it is a deeply flawed design. Mainly, how the heck did they manage to make such an enormous compact car and still have it be this small inside. I'm 5'6" and have only adequate room (I... occasionally wear a fedora, and it usually gets mashed into the headliner at least once on such occasions). This thing is like a reverse TARDIS, and it can't even blame safety regulations, because it has no safety as such. The cramped space also requires a doofy parking brake handle that will attempt to make you crash if you try to use it for skids. It also has an absurd amount of stick in the back end, meaning it pretty much won't skid on dry pavement unless you rip the parking brake while going fast enough to risk a rollover, though this is probably considered a positive by the car's original target market, and by the parents who would be buying it for their young & reckless offspring. Special mention goes to the Cimarron for being a pathetically derped attempt at up-badging, and all 1982 models for being outrun by Mattel Power Wheels. 1997, 1999-2002 Plymouth Prowler Like the various combinations of white, teal/cyan, and pink/purple that were apparently common on cars modified during the 1990s, this was a 1950s throwback the world could have done without. 1999-onwards versions could at least get a move on when the situation called for it, but a hot rod with a 126 MPH speed limiter and a school-and-shopping spec V6 is not a hot rod at all to me. The autotragic transmission is debatable, as a lot of street and drag rods use them, but those probably aren't quite as slushy as this one, which I'm guessing was ripped from a Dodge Intrepid and put in a case more suitable for an FR application. It was also hideously ugly. 2017 Bugatti Chiron 288 MPH is impressive, but 2.5 million dollars? That's insane! At the risk of sounding cliched, you could make an old Pontiac Firebird just as fast for a fraction of the cost, and when you were done people wouldn't just think you had more money than sense. Might not be quite as steady in the corners though. 2001-2005 Pontiac Aztek (imported from here) I loathe crossovers, but in today's inexplicably anti-wagon climate, they print money. Pontiac could've got in on the ground floor of that trend and rode it all the way to the bank, but instead they screwed it up with this extremely expensive, plastic-encrusted monstrosity. Already not that good-looking as a concept, GM's bean-counters stepped in and decreed that it be built on a chopped-off version of GM's corporate minivan platform (a platform already well known as a base for exciting, dynamic cars - NOT!), which scrunched up the styling and resulted in the much-derided "angry dumpster" look. Just like that, it went from the car that could've saved Pontiac (or at least delayed the inevitable) to a big old nail in the coffin of same. And that, my friends, is the real reason I hate this car. Seven years later, with the economy barfing its guts out and the buying public choosing inexpensive luxury over inexpensive performance nearly every time, Pontiac had not yet recovered enough to make Uncle Sam's cut, and hopes for resurgence simply weren't enough. Now, I don't think we'll ever see a new Pontiac again, for the same exact reason that I mourned the loss of Pontiac. You see, Pontiacs had a theme going. They were cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, had a bit of an attitude problem, and were seriously fast (well, most of them were) when properly fitted out. Now, though, that just won't sell in volume. The buying public long ago became too lazy to row their own, and have since moved on to wanting touchscreen navitainment with iPod/USB/Bluetooth/whatever in a compact car. When autonomous cars become a thing, you can expect everyone and their ancestors to jump on the bandwagon. Much of the youth market, the traditional source of the car-buying public's adrenalin addicts, would now rather text than drive even when driving, and when they are into cars it might be some kind of stance drift garbage. They may even be ignorant of the vital role that personal transportation - fast personal transportation, which doesn't tire as a horse or bicycling human would - plays in the exercise of liberty, or even the role liberty plays in life. Now, we as a country don't want our cars to have an attitude problem. We don't care about horsepower per dollar anymore. We want our cars to coddle us, to isolate us from the road under our tires and the engine that moves us along. Even those of us who want to enjoy driving have often been cowed by absurd gas prices. Now, even Australia, the last bastion of the manly man's car at everyman's price, is about to fall, as Holden and Ford Australia (apparently, from what I've heard) become hollwed-out marketing shells for peddling the same lowest-common-denominator yawnmobiles their respective companies are selling everywhere else. Ford and GM have teased us Americans for decades with their insane Australian thunder brutes, and are now killing them off without ever giving us more than a few tastes. It's a crying shame. And yet, even in this hostile climate, Pontiac could've perhaps survived... if it hadn't been for collosal derps like this, which sponged away money that could've been used for cars people would actually buy, or were massively mishandled and ran up incalculable costs in missed opportunity. I pick on this car because it is the worst and the most widely known, but brand perversion ran deep at GM, and due to the way GM designed products, Pontiac was the furthest from what it was should've been doing.
I don't know if i should appreciate your effort of warn you about bumping a thread that it's last post is 7 months ago .
This kind of thread is bumpable as much as you want, as the topic will always be fresh, so there is no reason to tabu bumping these threads.
All I see here is that the tundra has a lighter, more flexible frame. Stiffness doesn't equal durability.
I submit the Renault Clio V6 There is no reason for a road-going, mid-engined V6 hatchback to exist. But it does, and I love it.
When it is flexing to the point where the bed is literally smashing into the cab, thats going to wear down durability a whole helluva lot on the entire vehicle
Wow, something I can talk about. Parents had one from about 2003-2005. Then got an EG Civic coupe 1.6 5 speed. That car was crap. Got it for $200. Bright blue, 2.2 liter, auto. I blew the engine when father put a rag over the heads, sucked right in when 5 year old me decided to try to drive it. Good riddance.
Not so much in pickup trucks. That amount of flex is incredibly bad for the frame, especially over time, even more so when towing or hauling. Over time, it'll damage: the suspension (shocks, springs, diff), the frame, the cargo box (often know as the bed), rear electrics, the exhaust, the load itself amoung others including passenger comfort. All that flex goes right to you. Toughest frame goes to Chevy, best overall truck goes to Ford (fine, slight bias there), best looking truck goes to Ram. I can't take the Tundra seriously when it flexes that bad.
the 2cv . Ugly , overrated . The tpv is more of a nightmare . But the worst nightmare is ... You might want to close your eyes . you have been warned . Ya still want it ? srsly , why are you still here ? Ya want it ? Ok , you have been warned . the 2cv concept !
