Car companies with no cars you desire.
It's Friday, it's hot and I'm bored on a call so I'll ask you all a question.
Which car companies have no cars in their current range you're interested in.
I'm left cold by Audi. The RS6 comes close but not close enough. Citroen haven't had anything since the Xantia Activ.

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Easy one. Vauxhall! Oh and Peugeot. Cars for people who've given up on life.
And I'm not an Audi fanboy but you really only like the RS6? Shame as I've got this R8 V10 I was going to give you, but hey ho.

Kia.
I was going to say Hyundai, but the i30N and the Ionic are interesting enough to keep me amused by what they're manufacturing.

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Ones that are surprising (to me at least)
Mercedes. Love their older cars but I hate the direction they've taken with their styling and with the move towards downsized FI engines they don't really offer anything over their rivals.
Lamborghini. Again I've always liked a Lambo, there's a couple of spaces marked out for older ones in my dream garage but the new ones do nothing for me.
Apparently unlike everyone else I was discounting companies that make obviously shit cars

I could see myself going to buy an R8 but at the last minute buying a 911 instead.

I'd like a go in a Kia Stinger. 365bhp RWD should be interesting.Marv wrote: Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:10 am Kia.

Yeah, I wouldn't tell someone to fuck off if they offered me the keys to drive one. No desire to own one though.Jimmy Choo wrote: Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:19 amI'd like a go in a Kia Stinger. 365bhp RWD should be interesting.Marv wrote: Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:10 am Kia.

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
I'm not that fussed about Ferrari for the last 20+ years. Generally I'll always prefer an equivalent Lambo (the Huracan is far more interesting to me than the 488); the California/Portonfino doesn't appeal as much as a 991 convertible etc. The FF was an interesting one which I thought I'd be keen on, but I'd have an RS6.
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Ferrari, BMW, Maserati, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen anything VAG apart from the R8, Mini, Toyota.
How about not having a sig at all?
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Ssangyong. As I sit here I can't even visualise their range, but I bet I wouldn't be seen in one without a heavy disguise.
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Ferrari and Ducati are the same to me. Lovely machines for other people to own rather than me.Jobbo wrote: Fri Jul 27, 2018 11:24 am I'm not that fussed about Ferrari for the last 20+ years.

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
The F458 is probably my favourite car from the last decade.
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
I was never really that keen on the 360 or F430* then Ferrari released the 458 and they were back to their best, IMO.
The 355/456/550 era is still my favourite overall though.
*They've grown on me considerably since, honest Ian!

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
I honestly thought it would be the W204 Merc C-class, or does that not count because it was launched in 2007?
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
I was going to make a smartarse comment about not desiring anything made by the London Taxi Company, but they are now owned by Geely. Who also now own Loltus.
Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Volkswagen & Vauxhall are the first that spring to mind.
Also Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Honda, Jaguar, Mitsubishi, Seat, Suzuki, Toyota, Subaru & SsangYwhogivesafuck should cover it for now

Have Lexus finished making the LFA? If so, we can add Lexus to the list.

Re: Car companies with no cars you desire.
Ssangwhatever is probably the only one I can think of. Rest have made, make, or are trying to make good cars... and I had a Vauxhall so they get a pass aswell!
