    I am going to say Ladas.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    Citroens of course, the idiots who buy these cars must be blind and stupid.

    well, we all have to admit that most supercars if not all of them are very expensive. though, some of them may be worth the money you pay for.
    Nothing to say...

    Over rated based on what criteria? Lambo's, Ferrari's etc make lousy cars but great toys. Porsches are way over priced but not necessarily over rated. I had a 911 that was great fun just for the engines sound but it was a lousy family vehicle. My BMW 530 was a great family vehicle but once it hit 80,000 miles it started falling apart and the engine blew at 125,000 miles. Great family and fun car but really expensive to maintain and very disappointing in terms of reliability.

    Alfa Romeo specifically the Alfa Romeo 33. They're overrated in style but their reliability is very little.

    Yes.

    Also:

    - Every Porsche since the 993; except the Carerra GT and (you're going to hate me for this) the Cayenne, which though ridiculous, is a brilliantly sorted out car.

    - 90% for the cars Mercedes-Benz has made in the last ten years, with the exception of the CLs, but especially the CLKs.

    - Bentley Conti GT, GTS, Flying Spur.

    - Aston Martin V8 Vantage. If I had the money I'd rather have a DB9, if I didn't, an M6 or Porsche 911 (still).

    - The interior volume on a Range Rover. How can a car that big feel that small inside? The rest of the car is fine.

    - Driving a Lambo Murcielago on anything other than a clear, straight road with no speed limit. As James May said, 'The winner is the person who gets to stand on the street corner and admire it, the loser is the driver.'

    - The interior quality on Lexus or Infiniti, compared to a BMW or Audi it's really not up to par.

    - Pretty much any American car versus a VW or Toyota.
