Fun read. I would add the following to that list:

- Toyota Camry - the most unenthusiastic car around. Yes, you can drive it to 450,000 miles without even a minor problem, but why? The suspension is sloppy, the styling bland, and it has the personality of an over-rip watermelon rotting in a field. It does have a benefit - if you want to blend in, this is the car to get, given the 1,000,000,000,000,000 copies out there.

- BMW Z4 - it has more creases than an orgami project gone wrong. A bigger nose than W.C. Fields. So-so performance. No wonder the Porsche Boxster romps this car in every aspect!

- Scion Xb - it's only purpose is to make the Honda Element look aerodynamic. Yeah, JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) is big amongst kids these days - but there is a reason Japanese fashion is limited to one small island on the globe...

- Hyundai Excel - almost makes a Yugo feel reliable...

- Volvo - (any model) - it's not really the car's fault, but it seems that everyone driving a Volvo is ignorant about every single motor-vehicle related rule and regulation. Given the fact that this car is considered to be a 'near luxury' vehicle, you'd think they'd make the turn signals standard equipement... (Note: they can't be standard equipment, given the number of times I've seen a Volvo make a lane change sans a blinking red light going on!)

- Honda Civic - again, it's not the car, but the folks who drive them. In this case, it's the street-racer boyz. Adding a wing (to a FWD car), a fart-can muffler, and a head stolen off a VTEC Integra motor does NOT make your car a racecar. And pull up your pants boy - your underwear is showing!

- Lotus Elcat - almost makes the Pontiac Aztek look, um, okay...

There are more cars on my list, I'm sure, but I gotta get back to work...
