Mercedes
Mercedes are not my favorite cars. I’ll tell you right now that I think that they are ugly and that Audi could easily take their place. I wouldn’t dislike having one, but there are a lot of cars that I like more. The interiors of Mercedes are nice but the exterior does not seem to show it. If you look at the outside and then look at the inside of a Mercedes I don’t get the feeling that they match. The exterior looks like you would find it on a $20,000 car but your paying way more.

This Mercedes is pretty shiny (but still ugly)
BMW
I don’t like the older BMW but I don’t really have any criticisms of it. I think that the way that they have restyled the grille is great. The grille used to look like two squares smacked on the front of the cars but now they look a lot more stream-line and smooth. They have a very flowing look now and fit in. BMW has done a great job transitioning from ugly muscle cars to great luxury cars.
Lincoln
I usually don’t like cars on the luxury side. I typically care more about sports cars than Luxury cars. I do want to talk about Lincolns though. They look really nice from the outside. I don’t specifically want to own one, but if I did have to buy a luxury car I would probably want one of these or a Cadillac (if you consider them luxury cars). The grilles on Lincolns look pretty good too. They remind me of the Cadillac grilles except they’re vertical instead of horizontal.

I don’t know how someone could dislike these cars.

Doesn’t that interior look incredible?
Dodge
Dodge isn’t my favorite car. I’ll say that I am very biased outright. To me they look a lot like any other. The only identification is the four quadrant grille. I think that they have even stretched this symbol top far. They put it on the Viper. They took a great car and put an ugly grille on it because they wanted to have their gigantic trade-mark on it. It looks all right on some of the larger Dodges but on the little Honda like cars it looks a little too big. Besides their huge grilles they pretty much fade into the background. When you look at a Dodge you don’t have the same reaction as when you see a Mustang. When you see a Mustang it clicks pretty fast that the car you are looking at is a Mustang. Mustangs make you want to buy one just looking at them. On the other hand, when you see a Dodge you kind of just look away. They don’t catch your eye.

I like the Charger more than most other Dodges,
but does it really need to stick to the crossbar design?
Alfa Romeo
I would never say I don’t want an Alfa Romeo but if I had a choice between one and another high-end car, I would probably choose the high-end car. I don’t have anything against Alfa Romeos but they all have these weird grilles. They all have those giant triangles on the front and that in my opinion ruins them. I love how they look from the back and they have great interiors but the front of them look under-worked. It makes it hard to focus on the good parts of the car when the first thing you see is that ugly grille. (Notice the spelling of grille)
Saab
I really don’t usually like Saab. They make ugly old cars that sit around and rust. I would almost always never, never buy a Saab. The chances of me ever buying a Saab are like 1/10000000000000000. I hate these cars more than I hate Honda. It takes a lot to make me dislike a car that much but this next car is one impressive example:

Nissan
Usually I would say when you look at the automotive industry as a whole that Nissans are not great cars but when you look at low-middle value cars, they stand out. The Nissan Z looks a lot like a very confused Corvette/VW/Lotus. I’m not saying that in a bad way though. My only complaint about the Nissan Z is that it is all polished and is all based on what look like two curves. I think that the Nissan Z looks a little too blob-ish. I would like one but I wouldn’t like it as much as a nice sports car. I also like most other Nissans. Unfortunately, most of them just fade into the background of Hondas and Hundais.

The back doesn’t look to bad.

The front looks a little to smoothed out though.
Maybe I’m crazy though.
Maserati
I would never complain about having a Maserati. The craftsmanship on Maseratis are very close to that of a Ferrari. Maseratis look very nice on the exterior and I assume that they also have very nice interiors. They are very similar to Aston Martins in purpose but are very different in design. As unique as they look I really don’t have that much to say about them other than that they are incredible cars.
Chevy
I already posted on the Corvette and so I won’t waste your time talking about it here. Instead, I am going to focus on the Chevy Volt. This car looks really nice. Unlike the Tesla I really do believe that this car could be a solution to the gas problem. This car has the looks and the stats that a car needs to be used by the average person. I’m very impressed by Chevy. Usually, they make average cars that aren’t anything special but this time it’s different. This car is really remarkable. I really have nothing more to say other than that this car is wonderful and could be a solution to carbon emissions, theoretically. It would really only work though if they first fix the problem of creating electricity. If they burn coal to make electricity, then this is really just another way of running around the problem. If we can find a clean way to make energy then this could be a good idea. If we can’t it’s a waste of time.
I don’t hate the idea of the Chevy Tahoe Hybrid, but the same problem is present. What would the impact of this car be? Nothing, unless millions of people were to use it. At that point we run into another problem. Now we need a source of pure fuel, that does not pollute, and is abundant. This limits the possibilities of hybrids. When it comes to cars, I’m lost on this subject. It will take a HUGE revolution to get rid of our independence on gas and oil. I think that this is just another baby step towards the goal of alternative fuels.
Here’s a good website:

The Chevy Volt looks incredible now it’s just
a test of if it can preform.
Jaguar/Aston Martin
I really like the interiors of Jaguars and Aston Martins. They have a very smooth seamless design that – although I have never been in one – look incredibly comfortable. These cars are pretty much all leather and wood on the inside and have a very high class and inviting interior. I usually hate the exteriors of Jaguars but recently (the last couple of years) Jaguar has started to step up and actually made cars that are comparable to Aston Martins. I would still rather have an Aston Martin just because the interiors on them look a little brighter and the exterior a little sportier. Aston Martins also catch my eye much better than Jaguar. I’ve seen several Aston Martins drive by on the road and when I see one it is pretty hard to rip my eyes from it. I don’t have the same feeling towards Jaguars. Jaguars have a very boring look to them. They’re also a lot more common.

Black is a great color for a Jag.

Blue looks a little soft, but this car is still a beast
