What's one of the most overrated car?

[Porsche]

Altima, well the way my friend puts it, He always brags out how "good" it is but he olny makes comparisons to slower, heavier cars. I guess I've just been turned off to it now.

I think the WRX is good, my friend has one, but I'd much rather want the STi, I don't know why they don't open up the market for these things? I mean why dosen't Japan and Europe bring over their awesome 300+ Hp toys?

Porsche Boxter. I'm so sick of that fagg0t mobile.

Id have to say the Grand Prix is. Everyone at my high school was like omg this car is fast. They thought the GTP was one of the quickest car in the world. They were so amazed when they went 115 in it.

I'd have to say the Hummer is an overrated car. It is a cool lookin truck, but the thing is uncomfortable, loud, has really slow pick up, and costs 80,000. I'd rather get an Escalade for 57,000, and ride in style, and comfort.

Amen to that! So much potential, so little performance(relatively speaking) and so many of them!

I don't think you have any idea why it cost 90K. Building mid engine rear wheel drive cars cost a lot of money. Also when it comes with Aluminum body that increase the cost even more. I don't see you talking about Ferarri F355 being overpriced. After all it did got spank by NSX Type S Zero which a lot less than the Ferrari. Nobody even care to says Ferrari are overpriced. If you are rich enough to afford one you wouldn't care if it cost 170K or 90K. Try the maintence in Ferrari and it might cost the price of your current car. The best thing is Ferrari warranty runs out in 3 years. Money down the drain....

mazda miata :P

I'm going to have to say the Skyline. I've never seen so many people get worked up in a lather over that boxy looking car. The way I heard people talking, I thought Gods second coming would be in one of those. After seeing it, I am left exceedingly unimpressed.

They used to. Then Mitsubishi stopped the GTO (3000GT VR4 ) and Toyota stopped the Supra.

Honda's NSX (Accura - whatever) will pass the 300ph mark with their next generation. Some of the Lexus line will hit the 300hp mark.

To be fair, you're juding purely purely in terms of driving a car around town. It was not desiegned for that, and I'd say most people don't "rate" it that way.

I think that the hummers are kinda over rated also.... they're not that amazing for the price, i've seen them on tv gettin stuck in the mud... not impressive. Plus what swonder said


Yogs: there are already Lexus cars with 300+ HP (like the SC430)

NSX is pretty over rated i'd say... it's not really worth the price, but it's still a really good car, i'd say it's almost worth the price. It's not Honda/Acura's fault though, they have that stupid 280hp agreement in Japan, which is gunna be broken shortly

It's been broken for some time now, it's just that Japanese manufacturers still say they haven't. Skyline *hint**hint*

Hey Hey. Nobody beats up on the hummer

j/k

Its your opinion if you think it is overrated, but I say that it is not. Do you honestly see that many ad's for a hummer, compared to say a
WRX? It does exactly what it was designed for, and nothing more should be asked of it. someone buying a hummer doesnt buy it for comfort, or acceleration, they buy it for off-roading (or showing off )

would you say that you wouldnt purchase a VW Golf cause it wont tow 10000 lbs?, no you wouldnt say that, you may have other reasons why you would not purchase it, but if you were looking for something to tow with you wouldnt look at a golf. im using a golf as an example cause it was not designed for towing, it does what it was designed for, and thus (i think) proving my point about the hummer.

I think the hummer is all about being a pimp car now..... barely any people buy it for offroading, it's basically for show

I think it should be comfortable, like how rappers make it
I'm trying to find a picture of Master P's custom hummer, it's crazy, it barely looks like a hummer lol

Thats fine G$, as long as you get my point. Its not overrated, it does what it was designed for and nothing else. If a comfortable vehicle was desired then they would have had a different type of suspension, and seats and everything.

If I was a rapper (which i dont want to be) Id have a hummer too, wait I will have a hummer as soon as I can afford one
