There exist numerous vehicles that car enthusiasts encounter regularly or occasionally which spark genuine delight. These are the automobiles we eagerly point out to our partners in lots or request slowing down to photograph. However, alongside these favorites, certain models provoke strong aversion.

These represent the vehicles that stir frustration the moment they appear in view. You may utter some unkind remarks about that eyesore upon seeing it while driving. The feeling persists briefly, perhaps long enough to mention the sighting later. Yet it lingers. It lingers on. This may indicate my connection to automobiles leans a bit obsessive.

Still, as an automotive enthusiast, certain cars bring us pleasure while others trigger dislike for various reasons. Here I invite discussion on the models you have grown weary of encountering daily.

You might assume my response involves the Tesla Cybertruck

Years back I would have cited the Toyota Prius solely due to its constant presence everywhere. They appeared omnipresent, almost mocking, and once I even dreamed of owning one (long before the current version I might consider driving now). As an early hybrid success from the late 1990s and early 2000s, it delivered what few rivals achieved at the time. It was never a poor vehicle. There were simply too many on every street.

Calling out the Tesla Cybertruck feels predictable. Even though the meme-truck embodies issues facing our society today, I expect fellow enthusiasts will mention it often. Instead I looked further and chose the Chevrolet Equinox. I do not dislike the crossover itself. In fact the newest version offers the strongest styling yet, even if it shares roots with GMC. Yet it remains thoroughly unremarkable. The original model resembled a minivan with an odd front, seeming half-finished from Chevrolet. The prior generation looked like a rolling appliance. It serves as an affordable option for families needing extra room, but little beyond that. It stands as the compromise choice in the American automotive landscape.

Which vehicle evokes similar feelings for you? Share the car you have grown tired of seeing on the streets in the comments. I anticipate your candid thoughts after the holiday break.
