I used to not like it, but now I do.
What car(s) did you think were going to be crap originally, and then turned out you thought they were the bee's knees?
 The RX-8 is one that springs to mind for me. There was so much riding on the RX-7 when they were considering bringing the RX back. I thought it was too much changed when the first mag. articles came out for the RX-8. The back end isn't too pleasing too my eye, but now it's passable. It kills performance and price wise against the competition. Cars that get better when they age is always a sign of a new classic, so I'm glad I didn't originally like it. I think it's a great and I want one.

When my dad first bought his SVT Focus I hated it. But now it's grown on me. It's no Cobra but it's fun to drive and comfortable.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
That's another one.
It's only to bad we can't get the RWD v8 version of it. I'd love to have one then.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
Lets see, the new MR-S (MR2 Spyder)
At 1st I hated the car, and Toyota for what they did to the MR2. I thought it was signifcantly uglier and much slower. But after driving one, I realized that they took the MR2 back to its roots, a small, lightweight sports car. It IS underpowered but the car has grown on me, and I've seen some very good looking ones, and the 2ZZ or 3S-GTE engine swaps more than make up for that underpowered engine.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
At first I hated the 2001 Impreza WRX's I thought they looked like corollas but now I think they look decent after the jdm lights swap.

i'd say the rx8...wen it came out, i immediately didn't like it (the way it looked to be exact), it's specs were alrite...nothing spectacular....but it's grown on me after awhile....and got to drive it once so it got on my good side after that hehe...

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
The new Impreza's look great, now that they fixed those ugly ass headlights. Even though I'd still rather have a 22B.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
the car that grew on me was the lamborghini murcielago. at first, it looked to big and seemed to go away from lamborghini's edgy design, but then it grew on me, especially when i saw one last summer.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
lol!
MR-Spyders do kinda look like frogs, especially the green ones. Hardtops are always something that'll add points to the cool-o-meter score.

Re: I used to not like it, but now I do.
i actually thought the rx-8 would be different....the rx-7 were kinda sporty..but the rx-8 isnt...its more of a family type sports wanabe....BUT...besides the family factor...the 1.3-1.7 (whatever it is) rotary engine is WAY better when it comes to power..they actually put the exhaust ports in the right place this time..and the almost 50-50 weight distribution makes the car a nice track car...and the rotary engine makes a nice 230hp...not too bad...
