I think there are some "Overrated" cars in the market, not really fast or special but most of the folks wants to buy it.. and those cars are selling well on the Market.

Im thinking of Fiat Abarth 500 or BMW X5, the first one isnt fast, the second one is a container on wheels.They are both magnets for uneducated car buyers...

Thoughts ?

Ignore the two answers above. They are both silly. :P

This thread will cause sooo many arguments! but in my opinion....new MINIs. Boring and not as quick as the owners think.

I've had numerous cars, And by far, My 2002 Cooper was the most fun car and the one I regret selling most.

Own opinion of course.

I've never understood why people by these mini-MPV things. Yes, they're slightly taller than your average car, but still only have 5 seats.

Whilst the X5 might attract a certain clientele it is afaik an exceptional driving machine.
