    I agree with comments about the Honda Element - FEH!

    My mom and I both nicknamed it the 'Honda Elephant'.

    There are current cars that I don't care for but what if a fellow pt'er owns one? I sure would not want to offend anyone.

    It's not the people - it's the cars. Hey, if you need a vehicle and something is a good deal, you get it.

    It can be CUTE, an ugly car, if it is your own.

    Well some people take that kind of thing personally so I am not going there, there are a few cars that are not my taste though.

    wHAT?

    Just don't let anyone know that you are going to let the air out of their tires and everything will be wonderful.

    Trust me, If you were going to rag on the Yellow Subarine/Belair station wagon or the Great Pumpkin/Pacer that I rode in/drove I'd be really proud that you happened to notice that I was smart enough to be in a car that was really functional.

    CAR, DEATHTRAP AND COFFIN!

    We have always called it the Honda Elephant, but thinks that it looks more hippopotamus-like in reality.

    It's a car most people buy for its functionality, not its looks.

    I'm ALWAYS the wierdo in any vehicle conversation. I obviously have very strange taste in cars. I rarely like the "popular" vehicles, and tend to own or want the "oddballs". At the moment, for example, I own three cars ... all of them are some shade of purple. One is VW Super Beetle and one is New Beetle. I almost bought a Karmann Ghia at a yard sale last weekend, but my DH vetoed that.

    I think Elements are cute ... but I only like the ones where the fenders are the same color as the car, I don't like that gray plastic look. I also think the Scions and Xboxs are so cute.

    I really, really want a Mini Cooper S.

    As for what I think are ugly ... I have never seen the appeal in the Chevrolet Avalanche or the Cadillac Escalade. And I think Vibes and Aztecs are SO ugly. My friend is in the market for a 70's Buick Rivera Boat Tail. OMG, I am speechless ... those were SO ugly.

    Pacers and Gremlins have got to win some prize for ugly cars, and of coure, there is the VW Thing. WHAT was that?? LOL

    I love the Smart Cars - they are SOOO cute! And, apparently, quite durable. Heard of one guy who took his from Calgary to Guelph and back, and it ran great! Would love to have a red one and put black spots on it and some antenna! LOL Smart Ladybug!

    When I see one coming, I don't know whether to get out of the way or stick out my leg and trip it!




    But as a Monster Car????

    I beg to differ, most of it's attraction to me is the look. I also love the ones with the plastic bits on them!

    Although my mother and I both agree that the PT Loser is just about the fugliest car ever made.


    I have a good feeling that many of my favorite cars are going to be in this thread.
