Replying to: gmpatriot (Jan 07, 2009 4:28 pm) maybe, just maybe I can answer this one without allmet's help. Cars that are physically attractive, and those that are attractive in a mechanical sense are often not the same. The G8 has a lot going for it mechanically, but still suffers from that traditional Pontiac plasticked up boy racer treatment, my Avalon is butt ugly, but I regard the mechanical specs and the interior egronomics as among the best, the Genesis has both although I could live without the 'in your face' winged grill. Chrysler for many years has generally made good looking cars IMO - with lousy mechanics. Jaguars look good but with substandard mechanics considering the price, the German cars are all usually appealing to me and have mechanical virtues mostly beyond reproach - if only I could justify spending that kind of money on one.

Replying to: allmet33 (Jan 08, 2009 11:47 am)  my ultimate might just be the GT-R but not because it is especially pretty. Mechanical sophistication and abilities definitely take precedence over what something looks like. Kinda like a good wife...

Replying to: captain2 (Jan 08, 2009 11:57 am) Me...I've been a Porsche lover since I was a kid. For the longest time, the 959 was a wet dream for me. Now that I'm older (don't know about the mature part...LOL), the 959 gave way to the 911 GT2. That is my unicorn because I'll never pony up $200K just to see what it feels like to go from 0-60 mph in under 4 secs. I can spend a mere fraction of that and take my family to Cedar Point Amusement Park and take a ride on the Top Thrill Dragster and hit 120 mph in about 4 secs. Okay, if I had to pick a car that was attractive to my practical sensibilities...I would take the Genesis, of course!  P.S. The GT-R isn't exactly ugly to be honest, it depends on who you talk to. I watched a segment on the Speed channel (Super Cars Exposed) and they had a GT-R on there. Not only can it run with some exotics/super cars...it can carry itself as a daily driver too...SWEET! |
