GreyZed said:An unpopular view I know but I just can't get away with most 'sports' models of ordinary looking cars as to me they generally just look the same as the lower spec ones that everyone else is driving. I loved cars like the Opel Manta and Ford Capri as they were of a sporty design in all guises but the Peugeot 205 was a nasty little eurobox shape and the GTi versions were not aesthetically improved enough over the rest of the range to make me even want to get in and try one. The Ford XR2 however I did like and thought that the body kit on the Mk2 was an excellent well executed piece of design that somehow transformed the whole shape of the car and lifted it away and above the other models in the fiesta range. Unfortunately there was no such clever design enhancements applied to cars like the Peugeot 205 or Renault 5 etc. and for me they were just visually ugly motors.
As I say I know it's a minority view but for me it doesn't matter how well a car drives or how fast it is, unless it looks good enough to draw my interest in the first place I'll never bother to find out what it is like to drive anyway.
Hey, don't apologise that's not an unpopular way of looking at cars. Loads of other girls think the same way
It's all about the drive. You buy a car to sit in and drive it, not to sit in the house and look at it.
