The Mustang II article on the front page got me thinking. Is there a car that no person will shit all over? Or is it a universal constant that no matter what somebody will hate it?
I'm sure there has to be an exception, but for the life of me I can't think of one. Many might think E-type, or Miura, or pre war Bugatti's. But, I just know that out there somebody hates them. Whether its because there European or they only like modern computer controlled cars or they just flat out hate cars (Dirty fucking hippies, get that damn drum circle off my lawn!).
So Oppo what do you think, is there a car that, regardless of a persons normal outlook, people universally like?

No matter what circles I'm in, people seem to have a uniform respect for the FJ-Series Land Cruiser, the Defender 90, and the Jeep Wrangler. It seems people knock cars all day, but when the discussion comes to SUVs, most people defer to those three for being tremendously capable. Even sports car guys hold at least one or two of those in high regard.

Ferrari F-40?
DeTomaso Pantera?
McLaren...Anything, really?

The answer is a car that almost no one knows about. AWS Shopper for example.

if there is one thing you can count on in this world, its that we will never agree on anything.
There are people who deride the safety of the Miura (i know, i know) and the E-type is often derided as a phallic symbol, and pre-war Bugatti are bourgeoisie and elitist.
Can't win em all.

No, that's ridiculous, nothing is universally liked.

Every good car will have someone say it's overrated. Every car that isn't "overrated" to someone will be crap to someone else.

Depending on the generation of Wrangler, I will find at least one person who will spew hate at it. The FJ will garner hate from jealous Wrangler/Cherokee owners and the Defender 90?
Hmmm... Perhaps I shall take up hating the Defender 90. Just so that I may be different from everyone else. I WILL CARRY THIS TORCH!

I have yet to find people who hate the Stratos, and rightly so.
Never really see any hate for the 037, either.

In some parts of the country, that doesn't mean that you hate something.

Does anybody straight-up hate Volvos? I seriously have never met anyone who hasn't either loved them or at least had a general appreciation for them.

That is odd, but I know people who despise Jeeps, people like my dad hate any and all Toyotas. So does the Defender 90 win? Or is there some Prius driving shithead hate them because SUV?

ha, that's funny, because if you got those three groups together ,80% of the conversation would be: FJ rust from the landy/wrangler guys, land rover reliability from the jeep and Toyota guys and Wrangler wimpyness from the landy/Toyota guys.

I suppose it probably comes down to incredibly obscure, low-volume models that only the enthusiasts know anything about.

Pontiac Aztec. 2003's most hated automobile.
This baby is getting cooler by the second. Call it "hipster", but this car gets way more smiles these days than looks of scorn.

I've never heard someone knock LCs or Defenders, but I've heard plenty of people knock Wranglers, and rightfully so.

I generally hate Volvos, but that's because I'm Swedish and there's a mix of beige socialist squareness and redneck tuner stigma associated with them here. There are two models that are exempt from those though which I like (but will probably never own due to not being THAT interested in them): the Amazon and the P1800.

So there's still two Volvos in the running!

Personally, I think it's ugly as sin.
But hating on the Aztec is so played out. It was the butt of nearly every automotive joke ten years ago. But now, the car is the epitome of all that was wrong with American car makers and their "focus groups". Driving an Aztec is like driving a statement that says "Look how bad American cars used to be".
I think we can all agree that American cars have increased in looks and quality since the days of the auto bail-outs.

You can't hate this! It was undoubtedly the best car of its time and nobody can deny that.

Yes, I know a person who globally hates Volvos because he thinks they're for women.
