The straight cut of the rear wheel arch is so ugly.
Hate the front, hate the back.

"Tradie Utes" - all of the new types anyway. They're too big for most carparks & nearly always seem to be driven erratically & by people with a phone glued to their ears.. Rant over.

Mitsubishi Mirage - they always seemed to hold up traffic.

Thankfully barely seen on the roads today.

but the VW Tiguan has taken its place as the mobile road block.

I cant stand the sight of them

BMW X5M and X6M look like a diseased rectum from a cow. I'm that sick of their ads on youtube.

Too much plastic.
They are SUVs (Territory and Ranger is fine tho.)
They are BMWs SUVs.
Owned by BMW drivers.
Bought by cow farmers that cut you off at corners for no reason like their balls are constantly on fire.

you could put any of those large Euro SUV brand owners think they can behave as such on the roads.

Anything with a motor you have to disassemble and then spray crushed almonds into the valves to clean the carbon off at regular intervals, or pay someone 2K to do it

DPFs that lay smokescreens (if you could decide when and where, that would actually be pretty cool)

The Porsche SUV that comes along at peak summer time and parks in the disabled carpark right next to the front door when the Woolies carpark is chockas, without any disabled stickers

I also hate that baby Benz Mercedes that was like a baby toy car that failed the moose test- but hey- I own a Mercedes Benz.

I also hate "Smart" cars- so slow on freeways and major country roads.

Honestly, don't hate any car.

But the one car I would definitely never own is a Holden Cruze.

They're visually inoffensive, but everyone I know who's had one hated them and got rid of them as soon as they could. One former workmate had a long, steep driveway, and would have to stop at the bottom and get the kids to walk up or it couldn't get up the hill. No recent car should be like that.

Things like the Cactus, cubes, and other weird looking cars, I could never hate them. Every car looks almost the same, anything that looks a little different gets a thumbs up from me, even if it isn't my cup of tea. At least it's not the usual clones car companies make now.

BMW’s

Over-rated
Over-priced
Prone to issues
Costly to repair
Early adopter introduction of new technology (owner risk)
Dealers suck
Depreciate like a rock in water
Owners seem to think road rules don’t apply to them

A German Holden tarted up to be something ‘special’

Because an STi is a legitimate performance car.

Out of current new cars has to be the Triton.

Mitsubishi has 3 different design teams.
One on the Front, Back & Sides.
They never have joint design meeting but stick their independent designs together to make a vehicle.

I hate Mercedes because that star adorned most of the Nazi staff-cars.

BMW because during the 80s & 90s in Australia, they were purchased exclusively by insufferable ****ers.

Great Walls. Just an insult to cars and carbuyers everywhere.

Avalon - just the supreme example of everything wrong with Toyota.

It shows how much Holden/GM couldn't tell the difference between **** and clay, they took advantage of their customer base for years thinking they were infallible.

So much so they thought slapping the badge on some wrong wheel drive mid size junk and Commodore buyers wouldn't know the difference.

And these people have university degrees

Honestly who in the hell thought it'd be good to call it the 'cactus' - out of every plant on the planet and they chose those pricks.

Should have called it the Citroen Rock Spider because thats who'd own one of those things.
