    The Most Embarrassing Car You’ve Always Wanted to Drive?

    The Most Embarrassing Car You’ve Always Wanted to Drive?

    What’s the most embarrassing car you’ve always wanted to drive? I think for most car enthusiast there’s a car out there that you’d never want to own, be it because the car is ugly, slow, stupid, feminine, and you wouldn’t want your friends to catch you dead behind the wheel of, but you’ve always thought you’d be curious to take it out for half an hour. Mine has to be the Daihatsu Copen. I hate to admit it, but I’m fascinated by that stupid little thing.

    Last year at the Geneva Motor Show I spotted a Copen and I waited until no one was around and sat in it. It felt like a toy. And even though I know I’d hate it, I’m still really curious to see what it drives like.

    Kia Opirus scores high on my list, I take a shot of the car at every show....Runner up in this respect is the Renault Vel-Satis.

    Somehow I like the Kia Picanto. Though I'm not allowed to drive, it seems like a nice car.

    Renault Avantime. Probably.

    Citroen 2CV. Sounds like lawn mower and styling is odd.

    I'd say the MX-5 (Miata) but I'm really not embarassed about that. I'll instead put forth... the original Vectra VXR. The one that just understeered straight when Clarkson was driving it. That'd be amusing...

    Probably any of the boy racer tuner type cars. I would never be able to daily a Cobalt SS, Neon SRT4, Evo, or STI. But I'd give 'em a good raping on a mountain road some time.

    Ah, so you want to drive it, eh? You couldn't handle the raw fury of the 8v.

    i was going to say AXB, but that was taken and such fearsome body roll is beyond my abilities
