Ok, it's been bugging me for a while, but theres a few vehicles I JUST don't get. IE What's your opinion of the biggest out of place (poser?) vehicles out there?
1) HUMMER (double for H2's, TRIPLE for H3's). Man, where to start. SUV's aren't really intended to go off road, but the Hummer is purpose built for it. Yet, we ALL know NO one is going to take their 60K Penis Extension off road. It's the biggest, ugliest thing on the road. Yet everyone still gawks at it.
Get over it. Go to Budget, rent that big POS for $125 bucks and you'll realize why it's #1 on my list.
2) Harleys. The 20K club for old rich guys it seems. Slap some LOUD annoying pipes on them and call it a day (double if it's on the back of a 'Harley Edition F150')
3) Eclipse. Ok, gotta single out my car. In Canada they are considered 'hot, rare' blah blah. But in the US they're known as 'women cars.' Also the #1 car that is RICED beyond belief. They are the most sexy cars for the money, yet people need to go a step further (god knows why).
Ok, so that's my list, what's yours? |

sunfire = dont like
cavelier = same as sunfire
SRT 4 = cause they make drivers think that they have big balls. but then again, skittles make me think i have bigger balls. |
|

| SaabKraft |
1) those ginormous dodge rams with giant chrome wheels and rubber band tyres.
2) my first lunchbox styled H2's
3) porsche boxters. it's an attitude thing for me, i think. |

Those Kia's that look like WRX's. Do the owners not realize how ridiculous they look?

Ok, so that's my list, what's yours?
1) I'd say all economic Honda's and Toyota's that have anything more than a colored emblem on them(excluding the actual "sport" cars models they make) before I would even take a stab at a DSM.
2) 2000+ eclipse's although they do have some balls
3) Hummer |

Right at the top of my list is the Lancer Rallisport. Who are they kidding with this car? It's not an Evo and it never will be.
Since this is vehicles in general I'm going to have to echo ehos here with Harleys. The ONLY reason to buy a Harley is for the name. With the exception of the V-Rod they are all massively inferior to their competition, yet sell for a shitload more. They are loud, out of date, poorly built and terrible for the price. On the plus side is that they retain their value quite well, so you can sell it to some slightly poorer poser down the road.
Last but certainly not least would be Hummers, or luxury SUVs in general. Such a pathetic waste of materials and resources. Maybe if GM would concentrate a little more of their efforts on their failing car lines rather than their failing truck line they could pull themselves out of the slump they're in. |

haha i work at kia and i laugh every time some sucker buys a rio with that "kit", same thing with the sorrento's they have a hood piece that looks like the hood off a BMW X5, WTF if your gona make your suv a bling look-a-like at lease make it look like a good suv not a pos X5. |

lol what guy who buys an h3 will take it off the road? Thats awesome it can do 2x the offroading, maybe they can use that as a the sales pitch.
I remember hearing a lady interviewd in los angeles about her H2, and she said, I bought it because it can go anywhere, if there's a flood, a fire, riots, earthquakes, I can escape. Now this would mostly be true, they are big and beefy, now doubts there, they do that part well, but what got me is, if all this catastrophe is happening, where the hell you gonna fill it up? |

unless you see all those guys crashing their srt-4's over here lately :lol:
for me its
1)Lancer ralliarts. Another person mentioned thsi car never being the evo. exactly why i hate them.
2) Chevy Belair... I know that they are nostalgic and such.. but i hate the guys that lives next door to me... Car is old, ugly styling IMO and pollutes like a MOFO.
3) Chrysler Intrepid... For god sakes this car and another car are pure DB7 imitations for the front end.
As for the H2, my uncle owns one and uses it for work ad such. He lets me drive it when i visit him and man, rolling in that picks up all attention, from the families, to the chicks, to the cops as well.. |

IMHO :D ...
Hummer anything : it's not king of the SUVs you morons, it's a pussy'ed down military vehical. I've seen all sorts of 'Hummer' styled crap form beer coolers to radios.
Harley anything : Fort Mac has got to be the smallest city with a full Harley dealler, there every where, so fricken loud and driven by middle aged white guys that want to feel 'dangerous' after they get home from their 100k jobs. Even worse than the "hogs", Harley branded Ford trucks :blink:
Sunfire - Sorry for the generalizations BUT ugly, cheap, subcompact, econo boxs driven by cocky asses that think their hot shit, lissening to gang rap on at full volume on the stock system all the time. I take specail pleasure in playing with these guys on hw63.
Thats my rant. :p |

*Waits for the SRT-4, DSM or rotary guys to get their panties in a knot & start a flame fest*
While I'm waiting to close this thread, I'll put up my list:
Jeep TJ:
Why is it that almost every body builder/tough guy has to drive one in Edmonton?
The car has no name attached to it, maybe because the drivers like to show off their muscles they want a car that can also shed its "clothing" like them????
Hummer H2 & 3:
As everyone else has already said, most useless vehicle ever.
Porsche Cayenne:
$100k+ new, $70k 1 year old.
Never heard of a Porsche depreciating like that, it's almost ridiculous.
Just save yourself the money & either buy a used one or get a Touauouauouaoureg |
|
|
| Seks |
1. SRT-4
2. Lancer
3. DSM |

| DSM |
Honda's
Owners think they are fast but who are we kidding.
DSM's
Unless it is turbo and the owner knows about it's potential it is basically a pretty neon.
Anything RHD
Pretty much 99% of the people buy these cars for the cool factor and not because they happen to have an AWD car with an RB26 engine.
Lacers
Wana be Evo owners who think there car is just about as good as the real thing.
RX7's
Brag about how much power there little displacement engines have but if you look deep into it there engine are as big as there competition (supra, 300 ZX,...) |

| It is a 2.6L, you can't arbitrarily cut your displacement in half without cutting your power figures too. My car would be making amazing power if it was considered a 1L. A rotary operates as a 4 stroke, class it as such. |

I wanna Add a rebuttle for some..
The H1 does rock.... ok the pre-chev H1. Ya know the military version.
RHD, not all are bad.. I'm looking at getting a Pajero cause well not for the RHD, but cause I can get a small diesel 4x4 with low milage thats not trashed at a decent price.
Ummmm now for my list..
Any 1/2, 3/4, 1ton truck thats been dropped.. you want a low rider.. get a 1/4 mini truck they're pretty much useless anyhow. I knew a guy who dropped a 88 Ram D150, a $40 walmart desk n the bed overloaded it.
It's not a vehicle, but any punk who think's he's hot shit driving mommies car. Perfect example I was in an A&W when some punks rolled up to the drive through, ordered and then blasted some early 80's rock, but it was all treble, no mid or bass. And then they rolled away lights off after dark in a Toyota something or other.. a mid-range sedan.
Yes most SUVs are pretty much big 4x4 mini-vans.
People with trucks, who never use the bed.

Laughing at the Kia/WRX clone, they are pretty silly. I think pretty much 90% of the cars out there with rear deck spoilers that have no function is my pet peeve.
I don't agree with a couple of the ones mentioned. I know some Jeep fans and they love their noisey, underpowered 4X4's - for topless off road fun they can't be beat.
Being annoyed at RHD is also pretty silly, there are some real sports car bargains to be had, with the emphasis on bargains. What's wrong with saving a buck? |

Oh yeah!
I LOVE Mustangs, don't get me wrong...
But, wtf is up with all the new Mustangs?? There's at least one on every block now. I guess it's the whole, 'um, we can't come up with any NEW ideas, all we can do is make retro cars.'
I'm SICK of 'retro' cars like the Mustang, 300's, Charger (whatever they call it now) etc etc. COME UP WITH NEW IDEAS!
:)
Also I disagree with 'Sunfires' being poser vehicles. They're pos econoboxes, they do their job, nuff said. |

1. SUVs.... got no reason for this one, just that I don't have one and I'm jealous. :p
2. Just about any of the "imports" that doesn't have extensive and proper mods. (no your car is not fast, no it does not handle well, cutting your springs so the frame scrapes does not mean you now drive an auto-x car and no that wing does not look cool so turn down the stereo, turn your baseball cap forward and smarten up) :p
2. Any "domestic" who thinks their car is fast just because its a Ford or a Chev, or a V8, or some such thing.
For me its not about the car. It's the owner that makes the car a "poser" car by trying to pretend that its something its not.... so literally any car can and will be a poser car in the right hands, stupidity don't discriminate. :D |

1. Honda Civic with 5" tip, come on, who are your trying it kid...civics are so slow....get over.
2. Young guys ripping around in thier grandma's styled Toyota Corrola. Freaking hideous cars. I also don't care that the 20 year old rust bucket version can drift.
3. Subaru, all thier cars are fugly. Sure they can be fast, but it doens't make up for the crappy styling. |
|
|
| oldraven |
RX-7's: I wouldn't mind owning an FD myself. Some are fast, and handle reasonably, but for the most part, they are just a car with a different type of torqueless engine. A triangle doesn't make it better, just different.
Preludes: You hardly ever see a stock one, and I don't mean performance wise. Yeah, you go with your VTEC. :rolleyes:
ESi's: They're not TSi's. It's time you figured that out.
Lancer Ralliart and OZ Rally: They put the word 'rally' in the name to pull you suckers into buying a car that has nothing in common with the rally car. It's a FWD for fuck sakes.
V6 Mustangs: I think this one should be obvious.
Of course, none of these bother me when the driver is realistic about their car, and doesn't drive it like they're in ALMS. |

The only type of SUV worth having IMO for offroad use. Built tough, simple, and with enough manouverability to work around tight corners. Oh yeah, the top comes off of this too, so The best for Topless Cruising.
This one is in the process of getting a new rear end and floor right now, but it'll be back on the road in a week.
I hate people that buy 4x4's, put a lift kit on, nice tires, all the 4x4 accessories (bush bumpers, extra lights, skid plates, etc, and then mall crawl with them.
$500 cars with $2000 stereos
and people with civics that think they're any better than a domestic econobox because they put on some wheels and a fartcan. |

I agree with that, accept for the new for '05 Legacy GTs. The new sedan is fairly attractive (especially the rear 3/4's), and the GT w/ 250hp is frickin' FAST. |

Hey hey... some (well, at least me if no one else) were run _into_. I could have been driving anything and been hit, nothing saves you from the idiot that runs a red with a dog on their lap while chatting to their passenger and not paying attention to the road.
Cept maybe if I would have been driving a big bright yellow hummer. That might have stood out. See, maybe they do have a use :P
And back on topic... the only cars that bother me are the SRT-4s and company (Ion Redline et al). I can forgive the kid who didn't know any better and 'suped up' his cavalier, but these cars were purposefully built by engineers in a factory who were educated and still thought WWD was a good idea for a performance car. I'm not trying to slight anyone here but we all know why WWDs are built, and it's not for performance reasons. |

Actually, I disagreed with this at first when he said this to me about a year ago but after thinking it over I think he's got a point. The triangles have what, 694cc per side or so? Seems strange to only count one side of each rotor when deciding the displacement. If we compared the size of all cumbustion chambers, the 2 rotor becomes about a 4 liter and the 3 rotor about a 6 liter. Course, that's not quite right either, because the output shaft only turns 2/3 per rotation of the triangles, so it might be closer to count 2 sides of each rotor, so the 2 rotor is about a 2.6L, and the 3 rotor, about a 4L. That makes more sense in a comparitive power output sense to a piston motor.
Of course, the real problem is that you are trying to compare apples to oranges, and the displacement figure from a rotary doesn't correspond to the displacement figure from a piston motor, so don't try to compare them. But if you want a good rule of thumb for comparing, I think the 2/3 thing makes the most sense. |

1-Anyone who buys a nonturbo "turbo" car (stealth, talon, rx-7, neon etc); if you can't afford the more powerful motor buy a different car or save some more money.
2-Honda's in general. The only reason they have good resale is because everyone wants one for the fuel economy. Its definitely not for the power they make.
and lastly
3-3 series BMW's. Unless its the M3 its just another poor mans beamer. (that goes for the C class benzes)

ok, so your basis for 1) is, if you like the styling and feel of the car, you shouldnt buy the car unless you can get the top of the line vehicle. ok..... :thumbup:
2) you dislike honda's because they are fuel efficiant and that makes their resale value good?? :thumbup:
3)you dont like bimmers becuase you cant afford the top of the line M3... see post 1...
now for me its
SUV's - No one needs em, no one uses em for their purpose, they are the worst fuel efficient vehicles, most are ugly.
Sunfires/cavaliers - all the guys who drive them are idiots, alot of the chicks that drive them think they're hot shit (alot are tho)
Sedans with body kits - they're not supposed to look like this, it makes the car look cheap, no gull wings do not look good on a 4dr, phat spoilers do not look good on a 4dr. if your gonna do it, do it subtly. |

RX7 = poser vehicles? Maybe an Automatic NA 2nd Gen, but, most of them are dedicated sports cars.
2 Seats, no comprimises. Plus the added maintenence etc, I would disagree with them being anywhere near poser vehicles.
I hardly ever see them riced up to boot. My definition of 'poser' is a car/owner not fitting their niche. IE SUV's that NEVER go offroad (Hummers etc). Or Harleys (they suck for city driving, and they're worse on the highway). Or choppers, I don't get how people can ride them with that much rake.
The bike wants to fall over with that much of a hideous rake. |

Soon enough all the SRT4, HOnda Swaps, V6 Mustang, DSM NA, Sunfire haters will have there asses handed to them on the track by something even more repulsive than what they drive. |

LOL, I resent that! My 325is cost the same as an FD when it was new. It may be a poseur car, but it ain't a poor man's beemer. The 3 series is the cheapest, but it is the staple of the brand, a benchmark for all sport sedans. |

The old 3 series are probably one of the best manufactured cars. I would love to get one as aa car anyday. Whoever calls them impractical and even poseur cars has have to havs something stuck between their back pockets. |

It doesn't look cheap though.. I know what he spent on it(way too much), and it's more than wire loom, he does have a turbo.
The doors aren't flimsy, but he says if you're a larger person it's a bitch to get out, he's a rail and it's a pain for him to get out, hense why it's not his daily anymore. But the doors where a sponsored thing.
Gee I have a similar front end on my neon and nobody said anything when I brought it to meets. cept my fog's are blue.
I never said it was more than a neon, it is a show winner and it is built to be a show winner.
Gee nobody said anything about the cf... your slipping |

lol - jealous? hardly.... i too can spend 10k on a car that someone acrosss the sea put hard work and effort to built. that way i can skip all the dedication that goes into modyfying a car and have a quick car for petty money too... hell - i don't even need to know what engine it comes with - as long as its got a blow off valve and i can drift in it... |

I didn't want to toot my own horn but thanks. I bought the STI because
1 Its all wheel drive
2 Its got 300hp 300ft/lbs
3 There isn't that many around
and
I think it looks better than a 318 and 325
I could of bought anything I wanted but thats what I settled on. I did test drive the 540 with the M package but it was too slow and I didn't feel that the $80000 was worth it.

and yes its aneon and i dont care what you guys think about my car its what i think!!
can you blame us though. ive seen more people doing stupid shit in srt4s than i have any other car sicne they came out. every time i see one its psssshhhhht! wow you guys have turbos. and everytime i see them there is like two or three of each color in a row it looks like i goddamn dealership for crying out loud.
on another note. i am tired of five litre stangs. they are everywhere along with the new "retro" style. yes they have balls but its like driving a civic everyone has one. ( i even drive a civic and i just said that)
its one thing to take pride in your car but its another to be an asshole while your driving it. |

I've had the STI for over 2 years now. Its been a great car. I wouldn't sell it for a 3 series beamer thats for sure.

I second that. The STi is miles above the M3. But of course, they are different things. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, of course they are overpriced and underpowered. It's about the $.
But car to car, STi > M3. |

Except in looks. I would rather drive an M3 for more money and be slower.
I'm surprised at the widespread hate. Actually, considering the web site, I'm not. There aren't really poser vehicles(other than H2s), only poser drivers.
I have seen maybe a 1/4 of SRTs driving like morons. Yes the BOV can be a little annoying but I'm sorry to say I have seen a lot of other cars with turbos doing the same thing.
To anyone who said "All ______ drivers are idiots". Your e-penis is shrinking. Better think of another insult before it disapears.
Why does everyone hate the Ralliart? I've never seen it marketed as anything resembling an EVO and I thought it was a nice little upgrade from a regular Lancer.
My top 3:
1. H2's - nothing left to say about this except.... 8mpg, no speed, shitty off road, and less useable room than a KIA?? I can't believe these things are legal for sale!!
2. Crotch rocket riders who wear t-shirts. First of all it's just insane and I hope you have good health/life insurance. Second, you look ridiculous with your shirt trying to escape from your body and attack your helmet.
3. Anyone that acts like their car is better than someone elses, acts like their car is faster than it is, treats other drivers with disrespect(no signalling, cutting off, not letting them in). |

Sorry, $60-70k cars are out of my price range so I've never really researched them but how is an STi better than an M3?
Is it just comparing performance numbers & such?
Or is it from driver feedback?
:dunno:
Always thought M3s were considered the pinnacle of new & stock Sport Compact Cars. |

I'm lost on that one too...
But how did the bimmer comments go from 318's to M3's suddenly anyway? I didn't think anyone was bashing M3's in this thread initially... 318's sure, but M3's?? (and if they are, they're idiots). |

That's cool. But whether you bought it new 2 years ago, or bought it new now, is not relevant. My observation/comment was that you own a $50k car AND a nice FD, at the same time. |

It's not that they blow off at 5 psi, it's the fact that they show off these tiny ass little turbos that can make that much boost with absolutely no load on the engine. |

Well it's just my subjecive opinion, having driven both cars in 'performance' settings. I actually don't know what, say, the 1/4 mile time is of an M3 but I can tell you that given the choice, I'd take the STi over the M3 for an autox any day. (In fact... having been given the choice, I did pick the STi over the M3).
The STi is also much more practical, and that does become cause for concern more often than one might like if you are using it as a daily driver. Doubly so because we live in _alberta_.
Of course the M3 takes hands down it in the looks and exclusivity department. But those don't mean as much to me as say, tossability and general 'going to eat road for lunch' attitude. Not to say that the M3 is a bad car.. far from it and someday, who knows, I might pick one up. It's just not in the same category, and you buy an M3 for different reasons than an STi. |

hey man alot of people think MX6's are ugly. just cause you dont like the look of subaru's dosnt mean that everyone thinks their ugly. i personly think that the 03-05 STi is very nice looking car.
my 3 would be:
-H2's,cause there pointless
-Riced Civics with stock engines
-teenagers driving there parents mini van like its a sports car |

I bought my ride which was semi modded for a good price(not a RHD), seemed like a good idea at the time. I've spent more time and money redoing/fixing/replacing shit than I have adding on. Buying someone elses project can be more work than starting your own. |

Why are they poseur cars? the thread is about POSEUR cars, not cars you dislike:dunno:
I guess mine would have to be:
1. Lancers - (OZ Rally and Ralliart) they're cheap, ugly, slow cars, but SOOO many of their owners seem to think they're an EVO. I can't count the number of times some tard has tried to race my wife in her WRX. My wife also had a discussion with an OZ Lancer owner (while he was waiting at Midas for his fart-cannon to be installed) about how he would never buy a WRX because his Lancer was a far better deal and had SOOO much more potential than her WRX.:rolleyes:
2. Harleys - Mostly Yuppies and middle-aged empty nesters trying to recapture their lost youth and rebelliousness. I wouldn't mind them so much if they weren't so obnoxiously loud.
3. Just about any car with some kid driving it with his hat on sideways. Seems whatever most of these kids drive, they think and act like it's the shit. These cars are often decked out in shitty body kits, fart cannons, and huge wings, along with cool stickers. Sorry to those who wear their hats sideways and DON'T drive like complete asses:p
There's alot more on my mind, but that's the top three. |
|
|
| Anonymoose |
1. Civic Si/SiR. Seriously, this anemic box is the best Honda could give for a North American equivalent to a Type R?
2. Japanese trucks. Why even bother? Even the Titan is barely comparable. And Honda's sad attempt into the truck world with the Ridgeline is laughable.
3. Your car. There, I said what we're all thinking. Go nuts... |
