Cars that looked great, but otherwise weren't that great

2012 Beetle. Already regretting it.

What's wrong with it? Just curious.

I know VW typically has terrible service departments (I dealt with one of the worst in Ohio for a while).

Luckily, my Vegas dealer is awesome.

Meh I'd say the 300ZX looked worse. Those square headlights

Lamborghini thought they were good enough

And this is exactly why I call you a complete joke...

If it was all about motorsport success, all Audi owners should be hawking their cars constantly because Audi dominates Le Mans and DTM. It's funny because you're stuck in the past. The NSX is decades old and the ITR is done. Look at Honda now. We all love the NSX and S2k, but that's it. ITR doesn't deserve the praise you give it. It is no more than a guised up Integra, like an R32 is to a Golf.

GTI has been liked for years. It was on C&D's 10 best for awhile.

GTI liked for years? Do you forget the mk3 and mk4 variations, both universally sacked by the media for being bloated, under-powered variations on the cars they all loved (the mk1 and mk2)? It wasn't until the mk5 that the GTI returned to the All Star and Top 10 lists.

How is liking one of the best FWD cars ever, past or present, living in the past? Don't we all wax poetic about the cars of yore? Do you apply the same sentiment of the ITR to the E30 M3? The E30 M3 had an equally successful racing history, but that is....history. It is in the past. The E30 M3's performance numbers are trumped by modern minivans, and all that's left is that "sublime gear box" and the "feel" so often associated with virtually all performance cars from the 90s.

Your logic for knocking C4 A6's love for the ITR is flawed, as it can be applied to ANY performance car of the past.
