when the f150 got the "new body style in 1997.
the new 2002 dodge 1500

 

i HATED the LS1 styled cars when they came out (camaros) and the engine too. now they dont bother me too much. they just look too much like a sebring IMO

 

the imports with the big wings.......
oh wait i still hate those and always will.

 

When the Impala made its return in 2000 I was not a big fan. Then my mom's old '93 Grand Marquis died (stupid Fords...) and her and my oldest brother came home with a brand new 2001 LS. Now I like the styling more than I did before. I want her to go out and buy the new 2004 Impala SS, but I dunno .

 

The Chevrolet Belair concept. If there was ever a car that looked awkward in pictures, that's the car. When I saw it at the LA auto show back in January, I wondered what the hysteria was about. It was surprisingly good looking (though not breathtaking), and seemed like it should be in production already.

As far as actual production cars, Cadillac's CTS. In pictures it looked somewhat bizzare and a bit too angular. But when I began to see them in person, they have a stylish and commanding "Presence" that has been lacking in US production cars for quite awhile. Today, I think the CTS is one of the best looking sedans on the road.

 

here's another nod to the '03 Viper...

I was very unimpressed by photos but after seeing a couple in person, my opinion quickly changed...

my car, couldnt stand the new front end but i bought one anyway and now i love it.

 

The looks of my WRX have grown on me after initial skepticism.

 

Cars that have grown on me...
*4th gen Camaro's
*Focus Zx3 (the sedan is still ugly)
*Fox bodies
*Cadillac CTS ( i still don't know whether i like or dislike this design, but that's a step above hating it)
*2003 Accord coupe (still thing the sedan is ugly)
*Newer Altima's
*Front end of the newer Chevy trucks
*The new BMW 7-series (I still like the old one better btw)

 

That GTO is starting to grow on me. If the Camaro doesn't come back, the GTO may be my next ride.

i used to hate the look of the new mercedes, then i went to a mercedes dealership a little more than a week ago bc my dad was looking for one, took one look at the interiors, and fell in love with the whole cars

 

1) The new 350Z - Originally thought styling was to edgy, but now love it.

2) The new bonneville SSE with the trans-am copied nose

3) The catfish-nose camaros (1998+) [still growing on me].

 

The CTS...I agree with guion in that it is probably the best lookin sedan on the road (and it will only get better with the CTSv )

 

The new edge mustang.

 

Like now:

Nissan: new Maxima, 350Z (I still think the G35 coupe has better lines)

Cadillac: CTS, Escalade (Avalanche style)

Chevrolet: Impala is growing on me, the tailights are still holding me back; new front on Silverado (almost there, with the incentives & my GM card, may end up with one this fall, if not then the GMC still looks good, the Silverado needs larger rims to offset that front overhang), new front on '98 Camaro. Believe or not, the Corvette (C5) didn't really care for too much until just recently, C4 fan myself (sold my '91 a few months ago).

Mitsubishi: Lancer, after seeing the EVO, I got a new appreciation for the Lancer.
