Lamborghini Reventon
- why this car receives any praise is beyond me. it's only a murcielago with special body work. artificial exclusivity doesn't deserve respect. the car doesn't even look good. carbon fiber finned wheels? just furthers the poseur BS car image

new TSX, TL and new Acura design language in general
- I loved Honda/Acura, and look what they did to it. I'm praying that this disgraceful wave will be rectified somehow and won't make its way onto the new "NSX".

upcoming Chevrolet Camaro
- here GM has a golden opportunity to put their great V8's into a nice new car and they blow it by giving it the worst body design possible. the car looks like a toy. the challenger looks 1000x better in comparison. GM is so mismanaged, it's such a shame.

how about you make a car with a dash that looks like that?

and do your wheels suck in air to cool the brakes? how many cars can you name off the top of your head that even do this?

since when do you have to turn the traction control off to let the car perform as advertised?

the VDC has a RACE setting. if you are RACING, use RACE.

and be realistic. with any car, if the transmission fails, and the techs see that it's because of abuse, they will not honor the warranty.

Nissan has given owners a choice. take advantage of the launch control feature, but relinquish the transmission warranty - or just use the car the way it was designed to be used, and the warranty stays.

I don't see anything wrong with that.

the gauges ARE cool. but why couldn't they have just made the LP640's like that? the rest of the reventon is nothing special. if you like it, that's cool. I'm just expressing how I see it. I think the whole jet fighter theme is kind of lame, or at least poorly executed.

and many other cars have wheels which help cool the brakes, and many others don't need to since they use aero directed wind from the front to cool them

the porsche 996 turbo's wheels did, for example. only it did so without the pretentious use of exposed CF 'blades' bolted onto the spokes.

After getting a below par service from Honda's traders, I hate my rotten Honda (I think it was made on Monday) even more. I also hate the fact that everyone says that it's reliable and it cant breakdown but from my experience, I say otherwise.

Even though I own a Honda, no more's Honda's for me Vtec is a no tec:P

Any large SUV - enough said

Toyota Camry and Honda Accord - total appliance of a car (cars for people who don't like cars)

GT-R - U.G.L.Y. and I don't care if it's fast

G37 - what's up with that chrome third brake light?

Full-size pick-up - if I want to haul something, I'll rent one. Why would you want to make yourself drive that every single day if you don't have to?

Edit: I HATE Lexus! - it's a BMW for women

Without a doubt for me it's Honda CRVs. I always end up behind them because they will cut you off just to be in front. I can't see around them and usually they are going 5 miles an hour less than the rest of the traffic (after they they cut you off to be in front) and they are ugly as sin.

I refer to them as "Crusty Rotten Vaginas"

Very upset with Acura too. That new TL should be banned it is so ugly.

You don't have to design cars to have the opinion that a particular car is ugly...

Really, what's so great about the dash? It's kind of plain, and the instrument panel just looks stupid. IMO, the car is hideously ugly. It's as if the designer forgot what a curve was and how to draw one. In that way, it looks like an overpriced Cadillac. The Murcielago is far better looking to me.

What? Cheaper than a Veyron. Pretty much as fast as a Veyron. Better looking than a Veyron. Less snob appeal than a Veyron.

It's like a better version of the Veyron. Then again, I guess these things are subjective so I'll leave you to your opinion.

I hate the SLR. Overpriced POS with an auto tranny. I hate the new TL its so gross looking. I also hate the A8 because its soooooo overrated. I sold it and its really blows compared to a 7. Its so slow and handles like horse shit. It looks nice but it loses 50% of its value in less than 2 years. I also hate the Lexus ES line. Its a camry and most drives who have it think WOW I HAVE A LEXUS. Its also gross looking. I have more respect for camry drivers.I dont like the e class either. The steering and handling blows and when someone wants to trade one in here they are worth shit because they cant give those cars away.

I also hate the Prius. Its actually the WORST CAR for the environement and these tree huggers are so blind to it.

hahaha what are you talking about, man

those two cars are polar opposites

veyron is the fastest accelerating and decelerating car in the world

it's a heavy awd tank built for that purpose alone

the koenigsegg is a lightweight rwd track monster

the veyron can't even perform on the track without overheating
