Most overpriced, hyped cars?

Hummer. The civilian line that is. I have a really great picture of an H2 sitting in a ditch in yellowstone. I offered to pull him out of the ditch with the winch on my jeep. The park ranger said no, it was a liability. i would have had a better picture of a little ole tj pulling a h2 out of the ditch, but only got the one of him in the ditch.
So, without a doubt i would say hummer.

Yeah the H2 is a suburban in weekend-warrior clothes. It's just not really built for it. I've got a funny video of a new H2 going on a basic trail and snapping something that holds the FR wheel on. It just goes 'SPROING' and the wheel pops off sideways. DOH.

H1 = Win.

H2/H3 = EPIC FAIL.

Acura and Inifinti are the definition of overpriced and overhyped. These cars offer next to nothing over a Honda or Nissan(which is already overpriced). Yet, marketing has people convinced they're buying a "luxury" car and somehow are special because their car now has an A instead of an H.

Go to both sites and build an Accord and TL, the cars are virtually identical yet the TL costs $10K more. Shit, the Accord even has more HP.

Toyota is overhyped because it has nowhere near the quality or reliability it once had and is now living on it's reputation.

Totally agree on that. Also add in Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris.

Lets see,the Honda Fit is around 15K, handles great, fun to drive, delivers nice fuel economy and is reliable. How is that overpriced or overhyped?

land rover? which land rover are you talking about? You ever hear of the Defender 90? Coil spring articulation while other off road vehicles were still all about leaf springs?

Yes, but the Acura and Infiniti versions look better. Just get a used one and let someone else eat that extra charge.

You just proved my point. Overhyped.

Indeed, I personally had way more fun driving around a Focus than I did a Fit or a Yaris..

LOL! Are you joking? Driving one of those is just about one step above a ride-on lawn mower. It's ability off-road is not in question, but it's a sack to drive on road.

They haven't been around that long, so we don't know the long-term reliability. Oh yeah that's right, it's a Honda, it must be indestructible...... :roll:

You mean you would bet money that it wasn't reliable, I know I wouldn't.

Nissan 350Z

I find it funny when a advertised 300hp car is only 230hp at the wheels.

I test drove 2 of them (03 & 04 touring) and they are ridiculously slow/fat pig. Coming from a civic, I was expecting a lot more out of them but I guess i'm expecting too much.



When I stepped on the gas, I was expecting 300 furious horsies to pull me like a bat out of hell... but the car feel no different than my buddy's 2002 Maxima

It has been around since 2001. It has proven exceptionally reliable in the countries where it has been available throughout its entire production run. Just because North America didn't get it until 2008 doesn't mean the car is brand new.
