The 3rd Generation

The first generation was cool and high-tech for its time, but kinda funky and new:

The second generation was refit, rebuilt, sleeker and better:

The third generation is the new hotness, the sexiest one that everyone wants; faster, more efficient, more high-tech, and even sleeker:

So for my new wheels, I dub thee: EXCELSIOR!

(And yes, before you start making cracks about how Scotty pulled the spark plugs, remember that Sulu kicked some serious ass with that ship, and the entire Excelsior class was still in service in NexGen. Thhhhhptt!!)

Now, now, that's not nice.

I actually think the Aztek isn't that bad. It looks kind of like an overgrown Prius - an appropriate body shape for a GM hybrid.

Yeah, but the third generation Prius is a tab bit sexier than the second generation (though still very similar looking), while the third generation Enterprise - functional as it may be - is the ugliest one in the series. It has an ass the size of Rigel VII. [And, as Rae points out, "it has a fat neck."]
