Why do people hate the R33?

[drunken0elf]

Cause it's really round and looks huge even if it isn't.

the early model r33 are ugly. The series 2 are quite nice in my opinion.

BUT....if compared to the R34 GTT, damn, the R34 takes the cake for shit looks. It is freaken hideous.

You are warped.  The R34 looks like a Skyline.  The R33, barely so.

The R33 was really huge - which they belatedly realised and so they made the R34 75mm shorter.

Funnily enough....when I look at all three of them the R32 and the R34 look dated, the R32 looks old, the R34 looks brash and angular reminiscent of the '90's wedge shape .  They are both like a concept design that never really went anywhere.  The R33 gets by exactly because of its less aggressive more rounded style, it will never lose that appeal.

I must say, I am still constantly surprised that there are people who think the R33 looks the best. I didn't think there was anyone who actually liked them.

The vt commodore is the R33. It sucks.

To each there own.

The r32 gtst and gtr looks nice be it sedan or coupe. 

The r33 needs to be a s2 revision to be nice. Be it sedan or coupe. It looks like a long car and i like that. Kinda like toyota long GT cars like the soarer. The r33 GTR looks really nice.

The r34 sedan looks like trash. GTT coupe and GTR are boxy and good looking.  

Lets not talk about the other base models, they trash in my eyes. I dont see why someone would pay the skyline tax or crappy non turbo skyline models. I live in canada so import fees might be considerably more then yall in Australia tho. Only non turbo thats ok in my books is the non turbo r34 that looks like a GTT. Prime candidate for an engine swap.

I like the F30 335i BMW, that's the GTS-t I would get ?

And yet 217 thousand were sold and r34 less then 13 thousand, numbers speak for them selves, r34 not popular so not very liked

Who wants to swap their R34 GT-t with my R33 GTS-t? (excludes running gear)

I have had compliments for my R33 GTR much more times then I have for my R34 GTR. I like both, but the R33 in my opinion has more presence and a more menacing stance whereas the R34 GTR is more elegant.

...?

There was 180766 R33s built (16674 GT-R) and 67211 R34s built (11577 GT-R).

Anyway the Japanese economy was significantly changing from the 80s to the 2000s. Simply saying there was less built therefore not very liked just isn't true as there are many other factors.

I beleive we all have to drink now you've mentioned it again... [emoji16][emoji23][emoji23]

Robocop, you have hit the nail on the head yet again.... completely agree that the R33 is the true crowdpleaser.

Everyone seems to forget the R35 wheelbase is longer than the rest and that thing just hauls ass for such a heavy car. All this nonsense about the 33's wheelbase, NO, thats one of the reason that its faster than the rest!!
