I’m still a kid, and my taste in cars is continuously evolving.
Since this thread requires Indian cars (which I’m interpreting as cars sold in India), my list is reduced to a few specific cars which I have/had a crush on.
Numero Uno:
This generation of the Mercedes S Class, with the three pointed star on the hood, not on the grille. This grille is one of the only enormously sized ones I like. Pure elegance, opulence, luxury and power. Love this one’s alloys too.
Used by many presidents etc. all over the world, there is a reason why.
Whereas, a BMW 7 series failed to provide me those luxury vibes. I always remembered the M5 or the Z4 whenever I thought of a BMW.
Number Two:
The Touring Sport Innova Crysta. I distinctly remember going to check out the new Innova Crysta when it launched, at a Pune Toyota showroom. I hated it’s looks and dark interiors compared to our elegant 2010 model. (Although it was better than the humongous grilled generation it replaced)
But when the Touring Sport launched, I remember seeing a certain automobile influencer’s vlog on it. I watched it in full 1080p resolution and the car was looking awesome! I had a crush on this one the minute I saw it.
I got the chance to check it out in real life too, some days later. I loved the sporty design and all, even that red colour.
In fact, I would like to make a note here that when we were kids, all our car crushes were based on car looks. The best looking cars become our car crushes.
Other cars I have a crush on:
Lexus LX —
Endeavour Sport and Diffused Silver editions —-
More recently, the Fortuner Legender —
(Although I feel that the regular one looks more solidly built.)
I’ve had a crush on these cars too so it’s not just SUVs —
A special mention to these two cars — my first crushes on cars sold in India.
Footnote: I love the activity on this thread. The truth is, I’m still 4 years to becoming an adult, and by then I would have more and different car crushes. Hope to come back to this thread later on and add some more.
