I just thought it would be a bit of fun to try and decide the worlds dullest car.

This isn't a poll - just post your suggestion, and if possible a picture, to benefit those of us who aren't up on american cars, or americans who aren't up on european models and vice-versa.

So please post:
:arrow: The make and model of car
:arrow: If possible a picture
:arrow: some performance figures (again if possible)
:arrow: and a few choice selections from the equipment list!

My choice is the delightful 1989 Nissan Bluebird LS

The 1.6 Bluebird LS pushes out a mighty 84bhp to the front wheels, but is so unbelievably slow, i couldn't actually find any 0-60 figures.
The spec list is truly awesome though:
-sunshine roof
-electrically operated windows on all sides
-radio/cassette combo
-central locking
-some seats
-a carburettor fed 1600cc engine
-a rev counter

Golf I 1.1l

The original "econobox"

48hp

0-60 just before your final car payment.

Only luxury item self-cancelling turn signals.

Only power accessory - electric starter motor.

Lest people forget - those are the real roots of VW...

All the current Toyotas on sale, except for Celica (pronounced Silika)

Hrm... I think I'd have to say a Camry. Uninspiring lines and interior. My friend loves it though. We got into a conversation about luxury cars and he said Camry is a good luxury car. I told him that it isn't and he argued back that it is because it has a leather interior lol.

Now you see, trabants arent actually dull, they're made out of cardboard for smeg sake - thats funny, it makes the car interesting in a wierd kinda way.

crazidude - your right on the camry, that thing is blander than wallpaper.

The Holden Commodore. Any model.

here's one that looks the same as every single model before it..

its got 4 boring common doors (eh? eh?? c'mon!!)
... I think the flannel shirts and trackie dacks come with the car too...as does the application form for centrelink.

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...

i think your friend is smarter than you think

with the current camry, change the badges to lexus and voila, a luxury car

just don't tell the enthusiasts

Trabants are so "out of this world" they are cool!
Ladas are the champions of this contest.
Well, after Lotus guys modified one, maybe they got cooler, too!
