So... what car do you guys drive when not flying?

It seems almost every mfr. is fighting to win the ugly duckling crown , seeking to differentiate EV from ICE .
The more I enquire the stronger my intention to remain firmly in the ICE camp...

Yes I am thinking the same.

EVs: "Anything you can do, I can do better uglier"

Mercedes EQ: "No you can't"

A reel of a car theft popped into my Facebook feed this morning, seems the RAV4 keyless entry model can be stolen in three minutes by accessing the wiring of a front light. In this case it was at 3AM somewhere in South Aussie. Because Toyota use unencrypted CANbus, there is a device readily available that can be attached that fools the canbus into believing there is an authorised FOB in the car allowing access to all functions including starting the engine!

CAN Invader Attack -- Unstoppable New RAV4 Car Theft Method

Another poster's recent thread got me doing international research. There is a NEW car theft method which was just "invented" this summer in Japan and its use has exploded in the UK. It is widely used to steal 5th generation RAV4s and late model Lexus throughout England and Japan in the last few...

And IMHO… so, so ugly.

Don't worry, a lot of ICE cars are batugly.

I can remember the Hyundai Tiburon back in the day. And who can forget Ford Taurus from the 90s, Fiat multipla , Nissan Juke, Ssangyong Stavia and the PT cruiser. But the current number one aesthetically uninspiring car manufacturer is Toyota who also owns the other uninspiring brand Lexus

Toyota certainly have their fair share of fridges on wheels, but I must admit that they're starting to get some of their mojo back. Personally, I think the GR Supra, GR Yaris and GR Corolla all look decent (note: never imagined I'd ever say that about a Corolla!!) and Lexus are expected to release the LFR in the next year or so (the spiritual successor to the Lexus LFA, one of the best supercars ever made). That being said, Toyota and Lexus have plenty of models I would consider uninspiring.
