There are some cars which are completely overrated and others which never get the praise they totally deserve.
Here are two to start with.
Overrated: OK - this will be a very controversial choice - I'm scared of the consequences; the "Three-Pointed-Star Mafia" are pretty ruthless, but here goes:
Mercedes-Benz SLR
It's not that I think it is a bad car (anything but), it's really that it is a compromise - it's not a true and pure supercar, which is what it was supposed to be afterall.
Underrated: This is a fabulous car, quietly stylish and very refined - technically it is very hard to fault.
Volkswagen Phaeton
