What Is The Vehicle That Says The Neighbor Knows Absolutely NOTHING About Cars Most?

Subaru Outback.

AWD, great handling, good space, a decent interior, and decent power, good safety rating. Not to mention decent styling.

Hey, let's all slam other people for their choices so we can feel better about ourselves!

Welcome to Autospies.com

Any Lexus ES/RX/LS......

Hmm, how does a person's choice about cars tell you how much they know about cars? I don't think it can. I have seen BMW drivers (the ultimate driving machine) who can't even change a tire. When I see a person with a properly modified car, someone who rebuilds engines or works on race cars, I assume they know a thing or two though.

To simplify, anyone buying most cars found in a rental fleet would indicate this.

Chevy Impala, and he thinks it is the best. He's an older guy so I'm nice but I want to tell him it has the biggest V6 with the lowest output of its competitors v6 engines, both raw horsepower and specific output (hp/liter). It's an ancient design that dates way back.

just come out of the closet and tell him the full truth about his big under performer, Or maybe not?

I'd rock out with an Impala SS with the small block 5.3 V8. I just wish they'd go back to a RWD platform.

LOL! That's right!

Absolutely. How in the hell could Volkswagen even consider a chrysler minivan with the horrific cheap interior and outdated coarse engines.

Are you kidding me?? This has to be one of the most ridiculous posts I've seen on this site, and that's really saying something. People, this is not car news... and who said that because we have a collective interest in a topic it gives us the right to judge others who do not fit into our demographic or agree with us? I've been visiting this site for years, and as the years have passed I visit it less and less - it's turned into a forum for children with toys. Grow up people!

ANYTHING you drive!!!

A hedge fund manager who lives in my village flies all over the world to test and race prototypes. When he just missed making podium finish
at this year's Rolex 24hour Daytona race I asked him what type engine was in the car and was it turbo or not...his response was "I haven't a clue." Go figure !

He's a driver, not a mechanic. A dumb, rich driver... but still a driver.

Pretty much any Audi, because they are over priced.

SmartFor2 or the Chevy Volt - although most can't afford the $40K+ for the Volt

BMW 328

Anything made by toyota!

Audi A3, A8
Kia
Hyundai equus

Seems like we had a very similar thread recently.

I'll bite.

I'm sure everyone would jump on say a Toyota Camry or Accord, but for me the ones that stick out the most are the following:

BMW owners who really have no clue about their car or it's capabilities but by it simply to be a brand whore.

MB owners who again really know nothing about their car, it's pure status symbol to them.

Porsche owners, more specifically Porsche Cayenne's in all flavors. They are more often than not owned by Greenwich soccer moms whose husbands bought them the car which will never surpass 50mph and never be used in more than 2" of snow. They have the big Suburban or Tahoe for that duty.

Porsche, BMW, MB? At least those are nice cars. The Camry and Accord are boring appliances and shows that little thought was put into the car selection process (they just bought what everyone else had).

Although you can say that about some BMW owners, at least they were after something (nice handling) even if they can’t drive. The MB owners were after supreme luxury. The Camry and Accord folks? They just want a car.

CigarGuy,

You are correct. not EVERY Porsche, BMW and Benz are nice by default. But I can't think of a single Porsche, BMW, or Benz that the Honda Accord is nicer than? Can you?

I think he is referring to the ignorant owners of those cars who know or care nothing about the cars heritage or capabilities and who lack the knowledge to love the car for what it truly is, and I agree with him 100%.

nonofyobus,

Comparing a fully loaded Accord against a base 1-series? OK.

And what brand am I a badgewhore over?

any Daewoo sold with GM lodo on it.......

the car kpaxx drives.....

Lexus ES/RX/GS, Toyota Camry Avalon, Acura RL.

Mostly Toyotas and Lexus mentioned here. I wonder what the Toyota Fans have to say about it, other than de-boosting.

Here are a few of my choices...

Honda Insight, Any Acura outside of MDX, Land Rover LR3, Infiniti QX56, Toyota Yaris, Jeep Patriot.

001

Why the LR3? it is a very capable SUV, far more so than anything else that nice. Only a Jeep Rubicon, G Wagen Benz or Land Cruiser are as capable offroad, with the Rubicon being better offroad.

Three Pedals are for old-school dinosaurs.

"Is that why you love your boyfriend Perez's LFA? If he was using a clutch while your head is buried in his lap..."


- What a stupid reply. How freaking old are you? LOL!!

Don't you think this "Parez" thing is getting old? It wasn't even really funny the first time when I said it. You’re taking what I said about the LF-A, and trying to use that to insult me personally. So much for being original. You can’t even make up your own insults. This is so funny that its almost sad.

I’m starting to feel sorry for you. Anyone who reacts personally like you do about a car disagreement has got some issues. Either that or you are just a child.

any hun-day...

any toyota

lexus ES350. ask them about the engine....and they'll say 'yes.' transmission...'i think so.' cassette player...'definitely.'

cassette player...'definitely.'

- Are you for real. HAHAHAHA!!! what next an 8-track player?

Please tell me that Lexus isn't still selling cars with Cassette Players in them. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!

lexus was the LAST automaker to include cassette decks on all it's cars until 2010--owners demanded it. the 2011 models have left the 80s and dropped the cassette deck.

nonofyobus,

Who the hell is talking about BMW? BMW has sucky cars just like Toyota. Maybe not as much, but you get my point.

Saturn

@ enthusiastx11 good one! LOL!

Anyone who drives a Crown Vic, Caprice, Town Car or any other car jacked up with 26" wheels looking as retarded as hell, or someone driving a ghettoed out car with the stupid peel and stick side vents and chrome between front and rear windows, and finally ignorant a$$ owners of Cadillac Devilles or any other FWD Cadillac that think they are actually better built than a BMW or Benz. Anyone that knows anything about cars knows how God Awful cheap and poorly put together the interior is.

Acura TL...

Nissan Maxima - He thinks he bought a luxury sports sedan, but turns out it is heavy, front wheel drive, and has a CVT.

A Lexus.

Most people know absolutely nothing about cars, so they could drive anything, but a give away to the fact that they know nothing could be a Corola or a Kia that competes with the Corola, and for trucks in half ton it would have to go to the spaghetti framed rusty Toyota Tundra, or for the 4x4 crowd anything all jacked up on huge lift blocks, just imagine a high chair on wheels off road, tippy...

we have 6 toyota fans.

And proud of it.

Lexusrox123, I am not a Lexus hater, they are better than the lower end Toyota, I have owned three toyota trucks and have been a Toyota truck fan back then, I just don't trust the quality now...There is a night and day difference from a Corola and a Lexus, the Corola is a 20 year old design, come on, how can you defend that? Google Tundra bed box bounce, you can't defend the super flexy spaghetti frame on the Tundra, or how about the inferior metal blend that is making the Tundras spare tire fall out due to rust! That is on a new truck too! The Tundra does have a nice engine.

Corvette...
