Cars that you initially hated and then grew to love

The new Explorer. I was a big fan of the last few years of the old body style, and thought the new one looked like shit, but the more I see them the more it grows on me. I'd love to get my hands on an Interceptor Utility, the beefed up suspension and drivetrain makes the new body style even more awesome.
Perfect example: The bugeye wrx. The GC impreza was my idol growing up, being a child of gran turismo. Then they redesigned it. I even remember the first time I saw one in person after they first came out. I was walking thru the ECC parking lot and there was a yellow one sitting there. UGLY. Fast forward about 3 years, theres one sitting in my driveway. Even now i still miss that car. But i still think the gc's are the best.
I did the same thing with the a7, the mkz from the get go i thought looked awesome...
panamera for me... i at first wasn't a fan, now i love them and would rock the fuck out of one.
another one for me are jeep commanders, if lifted... stock height they are fucking terrible... lifted makes them fucking sweet.

schwinnnnng
Originally, I hated the way the 1936 Fords looked. My father was looking for a ' 32,and stumbled upon a 1936 for a good price. He wound up buying it (sight unseen-which pissed my mother off to no avail.-however,he did have a friend look at it for him) and had it shipped 700 miles.
When the car arrived and was unloaded, I swear my mother was going to blow up the entire garage. I wasn't crazy about the car either, but its my dads prerogative of what he wants to do with his time and money. After helping my father fab some floor pans and working on the interior,the car turned out pretty cool. The main thing is, my father loves it and drives it all over McHenry. He's even trailered it to a few NSRA events across the country. I wouldn't exactly say, "I love the car", but it has made me appreciate the older cars-esp. Ford flatheads.

Im on my phone and uploaded a few pics of the '36...which is why I double posted...my bad. Those are my GF's kids in the back, which kinda made me jealous. When that pic was taken, it was the 1st time someone had sat in the rumble seat. I helped build the car, I helped install the interior and even helped install the darn rumble seat...and I never got to ride back there ~:-(
Anyway, here are a couple of pics so you know what I'm talking about...
...BTW...thats my G-92 optioned 1991 T/A vert under the lift...

Good looking clean hatch and wagons, audi/volvo/vw/Mazda
Anyone that makes hatches or wagons I always thought they were ugly, but they look dope when they are lowered a little bit!
Like the nissan versa hatch
I would rock it as a daily.
But that Nissan juke is ugly I don't think it will ever grow on me.

Lincoln MKS (although I don't mind the Z either). When I first saw it I always thought it was a ridiculously overpriced Taurus SHO (and in some cases it still might be). But then I was getting our SUV serviced and checked it out in person, even test drove a new 13... Love it. Would probably buy one too in a couple years used and throw a tune on it. Inside is sooooo nice.
I wasn't that much of a fan... I put 800 miles on one in four days, I think a 300 is a way better value for similar money and also much nicer
Never driven a newer 300, just the newer chargers. Which surprised me. Seems like a 300 is larger but could just be the looks.
300 isn't much larger I don't think necessarily, they are nice though.
even [MENTION=396]Mike K[/MENTION] endorsed them.
Buick regal, the 85+ gnx.
I never really liked it, because low riders and donk cars.
But then I saw it on the 4th fast and furious movie and it looked bad ass!
I would like to own and build one, One day, swapping and ls engine in to it, or maybe even a 2jz or rb20. That would be bad ass! Keep it all stock in the outside besides the wheels.
I still don't like it, it looks to bubble shape / round to me :/ I like the other ones tho.
