pontiac aztec really is still worse, atleast with the aztec you can pitch a tent in the back
The original Humvee, the military version, is one hell of a machine. Anything else, i'd agree with you. The list of SUVs I don't actually see as pointless is tiny. The most pointless vehicle to me would be something akin to the early '90s Civics with non-vtec SOHC engines and slushboxes. I have never driven anything more mind-numbingly uninspiring.Anything in the Hummer lineup, completely pointless: original, H2, H3.

VW Golf R32. I mean who buys that? For that money you can buy a proper secondhand Subaru.
"Hot" diesels. I just don't see the point in having hot hatch with a Diesel engine. Sure, you have the looks of a proper hot hatch, often with more power, acceleration and whatnot than the petrol version... but the moment you start the engine it all falls apart, because it sounds like a damn John Deere tractor. I just don't get it.
About the Euro Fusion, I will repeat what I overheard a salesman at a Ford dealer some time ago: apparently girls and old people like it because it's a little bit taller than a normal hatch. So they get the taller position of a SUV without all the hassle of the bigger car. That's what he said, I don't understand the Fusion, either. The Golf Plus I sort of regard it as VW's attempt at creating a people carrier evolved from a hatchback,

Ssangyongs, just why do they bother? don't they realize how ugly there cars are?
And the Toyota Matrix too?add the Vibe... stupid, stupid, stupid car!
Its time for a rant, there are some cars which to me i dont care about or dont understand... yet other people dont stop banging on about them.
(Its NOT an 'I hate thread' or an 'its ugly thread')
Audi S3 ?26,950
Audi A3 3.2 V6 Quattro ?28,075
The S3 looks better and is faster, no the V6 isnt torquier, why pay more for a slower and heavier car?
BMW 335.
The Boxster/Cayman... buy a second hand 996.
Audi R8: It looks like a big TT, its a Gallardo in drag and not that much cheaper.
*Prepares to get shot in the face... McLaren F1 it goes 250+MPH... and?
Ahh...you see this is where they trumpet the phrase "production car."
For some enthusiasts, working on a car is as much fun as driving it. For others, they merely want to be spoon fed
1000 hp can be easily gotten out of many engines with ease. The most reliable of which are the larger, American eight and ten cylinders..if you're talking about engines from production cars such as the Corvette and the Viper. GM and Ford also sell crate engines with even bigger displacements.
Top speed is a bit more tricky. Aerodynamics and gearing come into play. Hang out at the Salt Flats, make a few friends, and 253 mph will come.
Luxury...that's easy. Just replace interior of what ever car you're doing with better items. Exotic leather and even diamonds. Take a submarine down to where ever DeBeers sink their dimaond supply and dig up a few crates.

7-seater people carriers with enough bootspace to hold 2 toothbrushes. IMHO it is pretty useless to be able to either seat 7 and be unable to move any luggage (except the aforementioned 2 toothbrushes), or have space for the luggage of 7 people but being able to only seat 5.
The thing about fuel ecconomy is interesting, because it makes turbo diesels the "i" of today.You can make a diesel car WAY faster than a gasser without too much trouble. Not to mention you can go farther on a tank of fuel as well.
