The two biggest turnarounds I had were the Acura RSX and the new Accord. I hated the first pictures I saw but as I got to meet them in person I was impressed.

Nissan Morrano.. At first I hated them, now I just dislike them.

I think there are more cars that I didn't mind at first but then grew to dislike

The Camaro/firebird facelifts in 1998 . I thought they were both but ugly . Now I love both cars .

Acura TSX . Hated the pics , but the real thing is really cool looking car .

99-up mustangs . Again I thought it was hideous when they came out , but now tables have turned . The 94-98's look hideous sitting next a 99-up .

My '96 Trans Am, (I came over from an '88 GTA)

"Why is the nose longer, but the engine under the windshield? -I got over that, but every now and again I just think wtf?

Of course, now I wouldn't trade her for all the tea in China...

First saw it I thought it was gaudy and way too "pinched", like it was really bulky but had no width to it. I'm definately starting to like them now though...

Sadly, I have to say the Buick Rendevoux... I think I hated it because of the Aztek lineage, but it's l;ines are much better.

I don't really "love" it, but I no longer hate it.

The Honda Element looks a little more attractive now that I see them everywhere...They looked like sh*t in pictures online...

The Infiniti FX45 looked OK in pictures, then I saw it at NAIAS, and got to sit in it. That thing was pure badass for being an SUV, I'm definately going to test drive a few of those...

The '05 Mustang looks better in pictures than in person IMO in concept form...

The Chevy SS looks great in pictures and in person. They say their going to use these styling cues in upcoming vehicles, THEY BETTER SINCE THEIR NOT PRODUCING THE ACTUAL FREAKING CAR! fawking teasers....

The current Celica...I wouldn't say I love the design, but when they first came out I couldn't help but laugh at the headlights everytime I saw one.

After seeing the current stuff coming out, the headlights don't look as radical as they once did.
