We all have the super car, hotrod, or obscure JDM ride we lust after. What about the really regular stuff that we drive by, but don’t really see on a regular basis?
For me, it’s the last generation Buick LeSabre. The 3800 series engine is great. It’s hella comfortable and relatively well equipped for its age. I also quite like the styling with a particular preference for the navy ones.
What’s your regular car guilty pleasure?
not for canada - australian in disguise

Mid-2000s V6 Camrys
Something about the design was extremely clean and elegant. Especially compared to some of it’s competitors;

I really like the 10th gen Olds 88. For all the reasons you like the lesabre, just bigger.

Olds Alero, Fiesta 1.0L Manual.
I actually thought about getting the Fiesta instead of the 328 as the new DD, but I still really wanted RWD for winter .

This 100%.
I love my Buick Lesabre Limited. Great car that gets 30 MPG on the highway, dead reliable and it’s basically a rolling couch with automatic climate control.
Plus, having an inexpensive and reasonable car allows me to dump money into my 1968 Mustang.
Wagon, semi manual, not brown, turbo because volvo

I’m a sucker for a good old MN12/FN10. Great handling for their size, well-equipped for the era, comfortable ride, and RWD V8 goodness.
My other regular “car” guilty pleasure is Suzuki Sidekicks/Vitaras. I’ve owned 3 so far and might be picking up a nice Grand Vitara for a DD soon. Just a basic, reliable, reasonably-sized and relatively economical 4x4. What’s not to like?

Not a specific car, but three-box liftbacks.
They’re a form factor that provides all of the versatility of the two-box hatchback, with the length and American-friendly styling of a sedan. I don’t want one myself - I’ll stick to Kammback liftbacks myself, and now Kammback sedans are accepted by the American market, so the three-box liftback is no longer necessary - but I like that they existed.
And, I mean, it’s even stuff like the Plymouth Sundance - although part of that might be that a couple different ones, both 2.5 liter 3-speed autos, both 1991s, both maroon, were in my family.

Would’ve got that if they didn’t restrict the manual to the GXP, which is practically non-existent in Canada.

I know it’s such a shame. I bet they would have sold more GT’s if they had the stick option like they had on the commodore down under.
