There are many exciting cars on the market today. If you somehow bought one of these ten horribly bland transportation appliances, get your head checked.
10.) Mitsubishi Lancer
The Lancer is a pretty old car by all means, and the ES should really be called the Lancer Devolution. It's got the same crappy interior, but none of the performance.

9.) Toyota Prius
The only groundbreaking thing about the Prius anymore is how Toyota's marketing people managed to fool everybody into thinking they save more polar bears by driving the main cause of smugness in North America instead of a diesel.

8.) Chevrolet Malibu
The Malibu got a facelift and will text for you, but it's a car that "does the Camry thing better than the Camry does right now" according to Autoblog. You can imagine how thrilling that must be.

7.) Kia Sedona
Say hi to a car that feels like it's from the last century. Buckus says:
It's a decent knock-off or an early 2000's Honda Odyssey, but that's about it.
Pretty much.
Suggested By: reverberocket is nipping the apex..and gently blowing in it's ear.
6.) Honda Crosstour
It's not just boring, it's pointless too. primalzer doesn't like the idea:
While also being ugly and hateful, this has to be the most boring car/crossover/turd on sale. There seems to be nothing spectacular, innovative, or special about it. It is an accord that looks like it has elephantiasis.

5.) Subaru Legacy
Subarus are nice. On the other hand, the Legacy with the CVT and the four banger is also pretty uninspiring according to POD:
Bulky, chunky styling. No steering feel, not much acceleration feel. Despite the awd system it still manages to understeer about as bad as my Speed3
The Zzzz's carry their way into the interior with fields of textured hard plastic, seats that do little to support anything, and flappy paddles that take the better part of a fortnight to change the simulated gear ratios.
It's a nice enough car, but I'd rather be in a Camry. Or a Avenger. Or a Sonata.
Suggested By: POD
4.) Volkswagen Jetta
So, you wanted a "European" car. Fine. Problem is, the base Jetta is anything but European. Cheap plastics and no soul.

3.) Nissan Versa
America's most affordable new compact sedan is also its most boring one.
Suggested By: Viperfan1
2.) Mitsubishi Galant
Yes, it's still on sale, and it costs more than a Mazda6. Seriously. If you just bought one, that must have been by accident. Go and sleep it off.
Suggested By: For Sweden
1.) Lexus ES
It's an Avalon alright. Sneaky.
