T-BHP Cult Car!! - Team-BHP

himanshugoswami · 11th December 2007, 18:24

OHC Vtec
Palio
Baleno
Zen (original and not Estilo!)
Tata Safari

These are the cars that evoke the most passionate responses from Bhpians and are universally the most discussed cars here. Over the years, these cars have achieved an almost iconic status on T-BHP (rightly so IMHO). If nothing else, these cars evoke the most passionate support and criticism from members, which in some cases would result in fisticuffs and boken bones, were we not a virtual group

. But the positive side to these extreme reactions is that such fanaticism is a pre-requisite for a cult car status!

(when was the last time you heard such passion about a wagon-r or a santro- no offense, these are brilliant cars and do their job admirably, but......)

so guys, which one of the above, according to you is THE T-BHP CULT CAR

Please support your choice with a reason, and yes, it helps if you have owned one of these or lived with one at any point of time.

No mine is bigger/better than yours please.....we have enuf threads for that. And also, no FIAT BASHING....

Just realised, except the OHC, I have owned all of the other cars, and my vote goes to the Baleno!!

Going just by populairty vote it will be a tight shift between OHC Vtec and Safari. Then Baleno-Paleo-Zen comes.

But what the hell i love Rudra's amby more than anything else when it comes to cult status.

Just for fun sake, why dont we create a thread to show off and compete our prized possessions in Virtual reality highway, of this forum

OHC Vtec -- An amazing car...a worthy candidate for Cult car status

ashish22 · 11th December 2007, 18:36

well i would vote for OHC Vtec and it needs no explanation, the engine itself does the talking.
no car below 10 Lacs comes as close as OHC Vtec when it comes to providing a thrilling and joyful ride.
This car will win hearts wherever you take it. Its an amazing car for drags and handles sharply.

V-16 · 11th December 2007, 18:39

my vote goes to the OHC Vtec anyday. Wish it had Airbags and ABS....but....!!

mobike008 · 11th December 2007, 18:39

I would say the favor would tilt heavily towards the OHC ( Vtec in particular) and Baleno probably vying for a close second.

Others are discussed often but, not revered enough to be called a cult car

joseph5600 · 11th December 2007, 18:45

I am confused between the Zen and the VTEC. I have own a Zen and still continue admiring it eventhough I bought a new Getz. Eventhough I havent owned a VTEC, I think that would be the best to be reffered as a cult car.

anandpadhye · 11th December 2007, 18:53

Hey guys, where is Lancer??????????????????????
And the RS???

How can you...

OHC Vtec - Must have been on most wanted list of most bhpians.

No i dont own one. So its not mine is better than yours, just the truth.

speedzak · 11th December 2007, 19:11

Where is the LANCER?

Out of the given above, my vote goes for an OHC Vtec too. No car has been worshipped so much that this one by team-bhpians. Baleno also has so many worshippers but OHC Vtec it is.

Myself, I love Balenos first, then OHCs! But my latest cult car is the LANCER! And why is it not HERE?

Shan2nu · 11th December 2007, 19:15

OHC VTEC without a doubt. Have you noticed the "OHC VTEC wanted" threads lately?

danlalan · 11th December 2007, 19:54

Ya this goes hand down the vtec way no doubt.. already almost 90% is in favour for the vtec.

Since people are adding lancer and blah blah blah.. ill add my two bits...
WHERES THE IKON 1.6.

extreme_torque · 11th December 2007, 20:03

Its the Palio 1.6 for me. I just love the steering, the midrange and fantastic feel it gives me while driving.

inferno · 11th December 2007, 20:04

OHC Vtec for sheer pleasure of driving and thrill , i drove one and i'm still under the magic of Vtec.

To complete...

These are brilliant cars and do their job admirably, but... They lack a charecter, a soul, don't you think?

(Before anyone starts bashing, this is just my opinion, and i am among the unlucky majority not to have a cult car, but a WagonR)
