Which marque has never appealed to you?

Citroen, not even the Saxo VTS ever really stirred me as a young chav. The new DS3 looks awesome in the add campaign, now i've seen them in the flesh they are awful looking.
Don't like VAG either, each and every one of their cars just seem like carbon copies of eachother.

Most french stuff as it is flimsy
Always struggled with german stuff as it is so sterile, no passion like alfas, fiats(older ones not puntos) and ferraris, although I am starting to consider the RS4 as my next car

Jaguar & Rolls Royce.
I personally really don't get the appeal of these cars. They're large, ugly, have huge motors that drink petrol without delivering the performance you'd expect for such a large motor with a big thirst. There have been 1 or 2 Jags that may be a little appealing, but I've never seen a rolls I thought I'd like to sit in. Maybe they're like ******** a fat chick... fun until your friends see you.
P.S. Oh, and every Jag driver I've met is a total ****

can't believe nobody has mentioned Tata. I can't think of a single car they made.
As for the Porsche thing I respect their engineering but they are dull. I would only ever buy a track spec GT3

And then there is the most beautiful car never made:

Trout, I wanted to like the original M3. But when a mate of mine bought a mint Evo (215bhp I think) back in the 1990's, he took me out for a spin in it. It just didn't shift like I expected it to, so went down as a big disappointment to me. The "appeal" had gone, which is the point of this thread. I'm not saying it wasn't a great handling car and won multiple Touring Car championships, but as a standard road car it just wasn't fast enough for me.

I keep seeing that Corvette thing - some image site must have it as a default and so every time anyone links to it, they get a Corvette, not the car they meant to post up!

As for Production Jags, the XJ220 definitely has appeal, so Jaguar is not one for the list. Not forgetting the XKSS.

Fiat. The Multipla is possibly the ugliest car evern designed. The 500 is a mickey mouse car even in Abarth form and the Coupe Turbo shifted but still looks ****e.
Oh and I also hate Alfas. Not once have I ever looked at one and thought mmm Id like one of those.

What I hate most about Alfas is that they seem to be driven by so called "enthusiasts" that think they have a sporty car.
They are a bit like a chubby guy in a designer tracksuit (if such things exist?) - they look sporty but are about as capable as a Kia.

I remember a salesman trying to get me to try a 3.2V6 4WD Alfa... whilst waiting for my Subaru to be serviced.
LOL

P.S. The ONLY thing it did right was sound superb...

I would have said Alfa a month or two ago, but then a mate has just bought a good GTV V6, and it's a little jewel of a car. Sounds glorious, looks glorious. It hasn't even broken down yet.
Citroen or Saab for me. And possibly Volvo, although an ex-plod estate could appeal.

Hodgy - they look decent to some but it's a proper case of all show, not much go. They just don't handle very well and how can a brand be "sporty" when all (apart from the comedy AWD attempts) models are FWD?!
