    My least favorite has always been...BMW...this is to me the most boring auto manufacturer....there cars are just so plain they all look alike as if made with a cookie cutter or something at least Mercedes,VW and Porsche are trying but when ever I see a BMW I just go UGH ! and now the new designs of the cars are just plain confusing.

    Toyota is probably the worst auto manufacturer in the world, closely followed by Honda.

    All the asian makes, all the american makes, and most of the German makes. Damn that doesn't leave much! They've all become appliances. Yawn.

    I've been a passeneger during a test drive for a few auto makers products for a couple of weeks with the folks. They're looking for a new car and from what they've sampled so far, the Infinti G35x had to be the WORST sounding motor. Good pick-up and nice ride but an awful sound. No offense to the Infiniti owners out there but Infiniti can keep it.

    C'mon guys, there are much much worse manufacturers than the ones listed...

    Think Hyundai, Daewoo, Diahatsu, Suzuki and lets not forget Kia aka "killed in action" (if you have a crash in one). ;)

    I personally hate Ford for dumping their involvement in Formula 1. They also make sh*t road cars that handle like boats on wheels - Much like Holden actually, but worse.

    Then this thread belongs in the Cars & Motorcycles section. Having said that, I think Fiat really sucks.

    Yeah! I HATE reliable cars that run forever! DOWN WITH THEM!

    Who the hell buys daily drivers? Certainly no one I know. Ferrari's and Lambos forever, it's really the only sensible thing when you think about it.

    I hate Mercedes and will never buy a new one again. I still own my 600sl that I bought in 94 with 23k miles on it. The new cars have lots of computers and electronic stuff that just seems to mess up a lot. Two of my good friends just got rid of their cars over the electonic steff and got tired of going to get it serviced. My 600 had some kind of wiring that only lasts 8 to 10 years and must be replaced. Thats a 10k job For the engine and chassy is probably more and will need done a little later. What a joke.

    It would have to be Honda for me. Not because of the cars, but the drivers. These '2FAST TO FURIOUS" GUYS think they are jaques Villeneuve behind the wheel and keep pestering you from behind. That's why with a real car, you just swat them away and send them home crying to there girlfreind or local NOS shop.

    Pontiacs and Oldsmobiles -- I've never known any recent one that was more than an appliance.

    Those Sterlings that were built in the 80s-90s were a joke too, Hondas with a leather interior and an "English" badge -- and somehow the British made Honda cars unreliable....

    ha, when i saw this thread the first werd in my head was "Korean", i consider Hyundai the antithesis to Ferrari.

    as for KIA, ages ago i happened upon an alternate range of models they produce, buy a headstone and get carving... http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/rok/kia.htm
