I don't like Fiat, Mini or Smart Cars. My wife thinks they are so cute, I hate their looks with a passion.

What I don't like and frankly don't understand how it ever even got off the design table:
The Nissan Cube

I would never drive a full size SUV. The worst would be an Escalade. I object in general to bling, false quality, and sheer size.

I don't care about invisible cars like Camrys, Altimas, Accords, etc.

I don't like the Fiat 500, not because it is small, but because it looks like a tin car.

I most like distinctive, high quality vehicles that contain respectable engineering and have eye appeal. Some deliberately odd vehicles like the Kia Soul are interesting. Others like the Honda Crosstour are awful. Some cars are trying too hard to stand out. Lots of Nissans and Infiniti cars are like that right now. The Fisker was a dud to me. Lamborghini's Aventador is overdone. Yet I love the Gallardo.

It takes a lot for a vehicle to stand out to me and really say "Whoah". Usually it's exotics, or cars that just have very distinctive (Not ugly) styling. If it's a car I know has incredible performance then I will take extra special notice.

One's that I see that make me take notice:
Lamborghinis
Ferraris
Porsche 911 Turbos, etc.
AMG Mercedes and G-Wagons
370Zs
Classic Cars (anything pre-1973 or so)
Tesla
Aston Martin
Chrysler Crossfire (the one car I think Chrysler got right as far as styling)
Infiniti G coupes

Ones that stand out in a BAD way:
Scion Xb and Xa
Nissan Cube, Leaf, Juke
Most any American car built between 1974 and 1987
PT Cruiser and any other pseudo retro car (T-Bird, HHR, etc.)
Hummer H2 and H3
Fiat, Smart Car, etc.
Most Chrysler/Dodge products built between 2001 to present
Card that look like used up bars of soap (old Taurus, 3rd gen Altima, etc.)
