y'all don't scare me that easily
I cannot believe that no one has said MUSTANG
That's got to be the most overrated car I can think of. I realize a lot of the people on this forum are from the UK, but in the States it seems like there are about 2 mustangs per person. Seeing a brightly colored Mustang GT in traffic gives me about as much excitement as a honda odyssey minivan.
ps
Volkswagen Beetle. probably another of the most overrated.
(the original) 1) is ugly 2) is slow and 3) was built by Nazis (something nobody seems to think about anymore)
the Beetle (the original) was:
1- cheap
2- rock solid
3- excellently designed
4- designed to be purchased by the lower fascia of the population, and financed by a government who played very well until they got crazy, considering how was the economical situation of German after WWI and how it is even now, after two huge wars, both lost.

and also designed by one Mr. Porsche. Not a bad thing to have in the plus column.

I would think that a car would have to achieve widespread, long-lasting critical acclaim and/or acceptance of some note before it can be considered "overrated". I don't think the automotive press or even the general car enthusiast populace has ever bestowed that much hype or credentials on the Mustang. Is it popular? In the US, yes.........even to a fault at times. But I don't think that makes it overrated. Hell, the car gets hammered by critics and ppl on these boards enough just for having a live axle.
Of course, my definition of overrated may not jive with others' here.

eh, doesn't explain why most audis are shite, whereas at least bmw gives something to the dedicated driver irrespective of power. i never want to see an A4 ever again, like a camry with double the price.
once again... popularity doesn't make it over-rated, just well marketed/targeted
sure it's not as good as some of it's fans say..but i'd say it's barely over-rated.
no idea how this makes it over-rated or even bad (hey, their tanks were pretty good..)

I think BMWs have better engines and they're better engineered, I think Audis are better built. I think they're both spectacular cars and it really comes down to if your driving style fits RWD or AWD.
PS: I'm generally not a fan of FWD, but the new Ford Focus RS sounds glorious to drive.
First, I'm not sure how you can fit a bike in the back of a Vantage, but if you say so. I'd still rather have a Porsche 911 with a bike rack.
Second, I sat in a Murcielago and that car is really uncomfortable, I've also heard it's really unpleasant in any kind of urban area. But I will never deny that it's both a feast for the eyes and the ears.
A final thought: No car that always puts a smile on the face of it's owner is overrated.

Hey Cargirl, I think Audis are overrated. How do you feel about Audis?
