How about the Honda Element big box on wheels or the new Scion B coming out another box on wheels or the ASSTek by Pontiac but at least Pontiac knows a loser when they have one and discontinued it.

hmm...i don't think those're necessarily **boring** cars. they're just strange (and ugly). i actually like the element and at least think scion xB is interesting
but the aztec, definitely one bizarre and ugly car...and a huge marketing mistake...i'm real glad they discontinued it...wait i think it's still listed for 2003?!

Whoa... ALL Buicks? Lets not forget the Grand Nationals, T-Types, and a few GS's out there. My Buick was super sedate: snoozer ride, nothing exciting anywhere, but it was luxurious and decent to point down the highway and go. Who else had vanity mirrors in the back seat (that got all the chicks in college). Sure it was poison to enthusiasm even though I upgraded the struts and intake; but when parked and clean, it still looked stately, not like I just took the wrapper off of it (or in the case of Korean cars - just pulled it out of its six pack)
My list starts with silver and beige Accords and Camrys - decent appliances, but ZERO flavor. Most Mercurys and Tauruses are invisible to me, but the all time most boring cars EVER were....drumroll please.... K-CARS!!!!

A sporty taurus (non-sho) is definitely an oxymoron. But whats even worse is a taurus, or anyone of these cars, with personalized plates. Talk about polishing a turd. "doperide" just dosen't belong on the back of a taurus.

Every model they've come out with has looked like crap. I can see that it's a practical, affordable car, but so is the Altima and Accord. The Accord styling isn't that great either but then again it's better than the Camry. And there's also the Mazda 6 which looks so much better than these sedans right now. But I can't figure out when people are shopping around for a new car and they have enough money for the 4 mentioned above, and in the end, they just say "ahh I'll take the camry." It's so bland! Do these buyers have no taste at all? What do you guys think?

Yea, the Taurus is pretty boring. I guess Ford realized this, or that it wasn't selling as well recently and decided to discontinue it. I'm guessing that '49 concept or whatever it is will replace it.

amidst all this taurus bashing, i must come to its defense. the taurus, while boring, is a pretty decent car. it's solidly built, nice and spacious, safe, and it serves your basic transportation needs well. and it's better-looking than the new camry. and its duratech v6 is one of the best v6's out there. it's not a sports sedan, but at least it used to have some character w/ the SHO, which, despite what some of you say, was for a time the fastest 4-door sedan made in america. so i stand by my choice that the most boring car is current chevy malibu, which is a disgrace to the malibu nameplate (btw current malibu and impala are not the same car)

people have diffrent views on how a car is.
Camry might be boring to you but to someone else it could be just as exciting. Maybe the look of it looks boring, have you ever driven a 86 toyota corolla... that looks boring, but its one of the wildest car out there.
