I think it's fair to hate a car based on looks. If I can't get past the looks, forget it.

Default I have two Audi's and a BMW and love both

My E36 M3 is beautiful and so are my two Avants. They serve different purposes but for a sedan that can beat 996 Porsche's and hang with Porsche TT's I think it is a pretty respectable and attractive car.<ul><li><a href="http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/27170/OPEPOXLNTRISCKHNZZYW-Dscn0147.jpg">http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-3/27170/OPEPOXLNTRISCKHNZZYW-Dscn0147.jpg</a</li></ul>

They're nice cars... I much prefer Audis, especially aesthetically, however.

Default But you must have friends/relatives etc.. who are not the most visually...

pleasing people to look at but have the character that makes you like them....if you see what I mean?

You have to get to know a car just as you do a person before you can trully assess whether you like it or not.

Default Until Bangle, BMW was my favorite car company (yes even considering Audi).

Until the Bangle generation, BMW made a line of cars that would most closely match the line of cars that I would make in my fantasy world. Great looking, great driving cars.

I own Audi for the AWD and because I'm a little bit cheap, and I have issues with the BMW image.

If I had to "hate" a car company, it would have to be one that I could not respect, or one that lacks a passion for building great machines. GM and Ford top the list, and Chrysler is a distant third.

Default Can't compare people to a car

You aren't buying your friends and relatives like you are with the car.

Default Agreed.

That's why I wouldn't say I hate BMW - only specific models. I definitely have respect for the company, even for their daring moves of "evolutionary" styling. It's just that it all ended up looking horrible. Just as I respect Audi for their daring front end designs recently, even though I don't like them.

I've said for years that Audi needed a distinctive front end. I got what I asked for!
