Default Guilty Pleasure Cars?

We all have our guilty pleasures. But what cars do you actually like that you'd have a hard time admitting to anyone?

For me, it would have to be either a Miata or Del Sol. They weight nothing, and can be modded out to handle like crazy.

Miata for sure. If I could deal with being seen in one I would probably have one.

I also like the Vehicross. I think it was way ahead of it's time though. It might be successful now.

I'd say Miata, but most of my friends are into roadracing, so they'd mostly agree. Not really any guilt involved. In my circle of friends, it would be more embarrassing to admit I'd daily drive a diesel truck.

i agree with you v, miata and del sol are definitely up there. I think those are cars that would just be a blast to be in, who cares what anyone thinks. i think they're great mid life crisis cars haha, at least the miata.

I don't really have a hard time admitting I like any cars. I do like Yugos, they aren't very good though.

Love the Yugo Zastava. That's got to be my favorite. and they had a Rally car.


I've read it's pure fact that the New Beetle is the top-selling design of all-time. It is, but I don't believe it because of the design. I believe it's best-seller because the original beetle NAME that sold that car combined with the fact that it's a VW, top selling brand in the world. Therefore, I believe the New Beetle is a sell-out, and a failure to its original concept. People's car my ass.

I'll openly admit, Beetle Adventure Racing remains my all-time favorite racing game minus the cruddy multiplayer.
