What THREE Cars Do YOU Absolutely HATE, That Your Neighbors Who Own Them Are In LOVE With?

When you run a website as big as AutoSpies.com and are on TV it's only natural that you're going to be the go-to guy for the neighbors when it comes to car opinions and advice.

And after listening to them over the last few years, you come to realize what they REALLY want is VALIDATION on their decisions and for me to tell them they got a 'GREAT' deal.

Sometimes it's easy to say 'I really like your new car' but SOMETIMES it really takes a good acting job to sound excited about their purchase decision.

In fact, for the majority, it's next to IMPOSSIBLE because although they may be stars at what they do for a living, when it comes to car knowledge, YIKES!

Some decisions they make are SO bad and get raped so bad on what they pay, it makes me cringe just to think about it.

And I'm SURE I'm NOT alone here.

The AutoSpies.com reader isn't a wet behind the ears, vanilla blog reader. YOU all KNOW your cars.

So I'm SURE you've gone through the same scenario in YOUR neighborhood.

So tell us, what THREE cars that your neighbors own that they are in love with do you ABSOLUTELY HATE and have to bite your tongue when they brag about them to you?

Tell us WHY you hate them and what kind of things do they BRAG about.

Spies, discuss....

Am I paranoid, or is Autospies making a profile of its readers? Some recent questions here have been:

- Out Of All The Cars You've Owned, WHICH One's "Honeymoon" Ended The Quickest? (or what cars you drive/drove, or how much you make?)

-What THREE Cars Do YOU Absolutely HATE, That Your Neighbors Who Own Them Are In LOVE With? (or what does your neighbor drive, or what kind of neighborhood you live in?)

-Fill in the Blank: 2012 Lexus GS Interior Shots Reveals The Relentless Pursuit Of ____? (or do you know how to fill in the blanks, or did you go to school?)

-Has Lexus Finally Built A Worthy Competitor For The 5-Series? (or do you work for BMW, or are you German?)

-Does Saab Have What It Takes To Survive? (Or do you know what is needed to survive, or have you heard Beyonce's song "Survivor"?)

-NAME One Automaker That WON'T Be With Us In Five Years (or are you from the future, or are you extra-terrestrial)

Do you guys see the pattern?

1. prius (self-righteous beyond belief, can't drive, speed, don't use turn signals)
2. escalade (nobody needs a car this big, usually driven by a 100-pound woman driving alone)
3. any lexus sedan (much like the prius driver, they can't drive; too ignorant of cars to realize they're driving a tarted-up toyota)

for some reason I can't deboost so I just post it I disagree with all your choices. I wouldn't spend my money on a Prius but caring about the environment is a bad thing. Escalades are the number one selling full size luxury SUV for a reason and Lexus makes nice cars and have made a great name for themselves which is not easy. It sounds like you hate your neighbors and not their cars.

Escalades, they are just tahoes with a nicer grill and slightly different dash and a 90k price tag. I'll take a range rover for that price. It can actually go offroad. 2007 impala. This guy swears it is the fastest baddest sedan. 3.9l v6 and only 230hp. That is the lowest hp/liter of any full size sedan. Any crown Vic. Why do people waste their money on this ancient crap mobile and put huge rims on it? I told a guy about how cheaply the interior is built and his reply was that's why you put Gucci interior in it. First of it isn't real Gucci, secondly no matter how you cover a cheap panel it is still a cheap panel and fits wrong and flexes and rattles. secondly what are you going to do about the cheap switchgear. Thirdly, these idiot buy these ex police cars that have been ragged out and thrashed and pay more than what they would buying a used one from the dealer that actually has a decent interior not made of vinyl.

Explorers were the number one selling in the 90's and they were utterly cheap rattle prone hard cheap plastic interior and noisy, not to mention squirmy on the highway and unreliable. Sales numbers don't mean better.

I honestly only hate ugly cars. I don't understand how people spend money on them. The guy across the street recently bought the MKS. I almost despise Lincoln because they make some of the ugliest cars. I will say however the MKS is by far the nicest looking Lincoln but that isn't saying much. Everyone else drive nice cars so I don't have a two or three.

H1 Hummer, Escalade, 7series BMW.
Conversely, in my neighborhood the coolest cars are: SRT8 Jeep, 2011 CTS-V, and probably one of the dozens of S Classes.

I could care less what any of my friends or neighbours like or own, although I would probably tell them gently that I didn't like it eventually if they kept talking about it.

Minivans. Big, ugly, dumb, slow accelerating vehicles. Why buy a caravan when you can get the Durango? Why buy a slow stupid Odessey when you can get the 8 passenger pilot? Why buy a Sienna when you can get the Highlander. Why buy a Sedona when you can get the Sorento? Why buy the Quest when you can choose between their crossovers or SUVs? Minivans are just big, stupid, ugly and retards on the streets. The only purpose for them is the sliding doors so a person with a crossover won't have to worry about door dings. Now Mercedes wants their own big, ugly dumb minivan. They take three days and 8 hours to make a right turn when driving behind them. When trying to make a left tirn when driving behind them, ythe car behind them may have to sit at the red light since the slow, stupid van is to slow to have made the left turn when the light was green.They hold up traffic during rush hour because they are stupid and slow. All the autoshifts are ugly because it's attached to the dash. They don't seem to hold their value. They don't turn heads. And they can't handle off road.

ANYTHING built by Toyota. Butt-ugly and cheap to look at.
EVERYTHING European. Poorly built and unreliable.
MOST things built by Honda. Childish styling and engineering cues.

If the "journalists" of this website ever mature, this website might be good again.

7-8 years ago it had way more news/information than topics made only to cause arguments. (Basically the opposite of now)

Sad.

Tango, your comment doubtlessly proves that you are jealous and very ignorant. Toyota's success makes you very uncomfortable, doesn't it? Their reliability and consistently high resale value has embarrassed GM, Ford and Chrysler. Why is it that when you try to sell a Chevy, Ford or whatever, by yourself or trade in after a couple of years, that you get only a fraction of what you initially paid for the vehicle? Why do you suppose Toyota and Honda vehicles retain more of their value after a couple of years than anything by GM, Ford or Chrysler? The answer is: the quality and reliability of the vehicle as it ages. Toyota and Honda vehicles are more reliable and higher quality.

-Lamborghini (They have no class and are ''new-rich'' cars and they look like spaceships and I mean, if your going to buy a spaceship, at least buy one that can go in space)
-BMWs (I drive one but I hate them)
-Lexus (worse cars ever. I cant believe they are even legal because their ugliness must cause accidents and diseases)

Rolls Royces, Aston Martin, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Mercedes, Audi, Maserati, Wiesmann and Morgan are the only beautiful and classy cars on this planet, they deserve the respect of every living soul lol.
