they arnt that boring you can add superchargers
thats cause its not a honda its an acura... hehehehe
Honda OWNS Acura not Acura owns Honda so the Euro R is a Honda as with other Acura Models they are Honda built and designed. but little Civics can get boring as they are the most common rice around but some Honda's really haul ass

It seems I’m the owner of the dullest car ever?!!:

My excuse is that I’m tall (1.95 meters = 6 foot 4) and there are very few cars that I fit in comfortably. When I bought it (2000) these cars were on my shortlist: Volvo S80 (too expensive with options included), VW Passat 2.8 (very slow automatic trans., takes about 1 sec to change gear: yes I’m lazy going for an auto.), Camry V6 (….).
I actually like the fact that nobody notices it, have improved the car with 225/45-17inch F1-GSD3, green stuff brake pads, working on lowering /other suspension.
Would like a supercharger, however I would be the first to do that in my country, (maybe even Europe).
Since this year they don’t even sell Camry’s in Europe, there all going to the USA. So now Camry’s are exclusive, just kidding, I’m not that crazy :roll: …..
Thinking of upgrading to a new Subaru Legacy Wagon 3.0R (yes I know dull again ).

I watched the video about the Lada and changed my mind.
That guy is really having serious fun with a Lada.

As a matter of fact, I forgot that this ugly Lada has RWD.
No RWD car can be classified as dull. It is correct in conception!

weight = bloody heavy
0-100 = who cares its a commodore
hp = see above

I see roughly 50 to 60 of these things EVERYDAY! They're about as exciting as a sack of soggy weetbix. Why people buy them I don't know...they depreciate faster than you can say "jezuz that car is shit-house"

I'd rather be beaten around the head with a large stick than ever own ones of these things... I've driven the 2003 V8 SS model and well...it was dissapointing to say the least...
If thats the dullest car you've ever seen you haven't seen many cars. How about an AU Falcon for dull, that was(is) a piece of crap looking car. All those things you stated about the Commodore apply to pretty much every other 4-door sedan in Australia (or the world), e.g. Magna, Falcon, Camry...... If you really have driven the SS please explain why exactly is was so disappointing.
What does a centrelink form have to do with the Commodore, if your implying that most Commodore owners are on the dole then you better do some more research....or just think about those POS old rusty Falcons driving around and think where those 'people'(I won't offend anyone so I'll leave it at people) get their income from.
I'm not a ford/holden/mistu/toyota bloke, I don't care about which company makes the best or worst car.
This topic is about the dullest car, my opinion is that the holden is the dullest car. I did a test for 2 days last week, I counted every single commodore I saw. I kid you not, on the first day in a 10min period I saw exactly 118 commodores...on the second day I saw on the same stretch of road 78... Now tell me that does not become dull after a few times....I find them dull because I'm jaded by them... and as for the SS I drove, the engine sound was magic, but the heavy body and the dissapointing auto gearbox that didn't know if it was coming or going ruined it for me....and the steering that had little to no actual connection with the wheels... I don't find falcons dull because I don't see that many of them, sure there are HEAPS, but there are just as many corollas or excels...

For me, the holden is the most common and dull car.

Well the fact that the Holden is the most popular (sales wise, and therefore very common on the roads) car tells me it must be doing something right if so many people buy it. I don't really like the normal Commodore (Executive) all that much either but I still wouldn't call it dull, while the sports models (and HSV's) are beautiful cars that perform well.
