If you're a regular reader of AutoSpies.com or any other car website (i think there are others) you're used to everyone grabbing on and lauding and defending their favorite brand or brands.
So for today I thought I would be interesting to turn the tables and just have some plain raucous, unadulterated fun and talk about the brands you HATE the most.
Before we get the mudslinging started, PLEASE DO NOT just type a brand name and that's it.
EXPLAIN WHY you made your choice and what is it about them that makes you HATE them soooo much!
So, I'll start the battle with my choice.
ACURA.
Why?
Because I've never seen a company with more resources and more potential blow it SO bad, time and time again.
Their executives are the quintessential old school dead thinker types that wrecked the American auto companies.
Their PR people wouldn't take a chance or do something innovative if their lives depended on it.
Yes men (and women), ALL of them.
Their dealers invent ways to piss off new AND repeat customers with things like- Mud flaps, rustproofing and lojack come on all of our cars, so you HAVE to take it in the butt whether you want them or not.
EVEN if you order from the factory and SPECIFY NOT to add them on.
Why don't they just be honest and say we need to butthole you for an extra grand because corporate doesn't give us enough margin on the cars?
And then there are the cars....
Have you SEEN the new BEAK?
Can they REALLY be serious?
It would be one thing if their cars weren't good performing, reliable products.
That has NEVER been an issue although the RL is one of the WORST modern day cars I have ever driven.
Gorgeous interior, class leading electronics but with an exterior design that makes Kia's look exciting.
And the design of it is getting WORSE over time!
Are they EVER going to get the message they going the wrong way?
I personally would LOVE to see them return to prominence and bring out some great products.
But looking at where they are heading, that's NOT looking promising!
OK.
That felt GREAT to get that off my chest.
Are you all ready to vent your vermon on your most hated brand/brands?
I want to see it SPEW.
I want you all as angry as a Hillary Clinton voter is against Obama for slighting her...
Let's have at it!!!
And remember, as Chrissy Hynde of the Pretender's said... It's a THIN line between love and hate!
We promise you won't HATE our photo galleries!
