| Re: Most overrated and underrated
I agree completely rnds! Although I am part of the Mercedes Mafioso, I can see that the SLR is as you say compromised. The styling is too busy - F1 themes, vents, gills, and angles everywhere. A supercar should be beautiful. IMO the SLR is just aggressive and eye-catching.
The Phaeton is elegant, the quality of ride is supurb, the interior is beautiful (although motorised timber panels covering the air vents is a bit excessive) - the only problem with it is that it is wearing the wrong badge.
For me, the most overrated is the Ford Mustang. Apart from the latest generation, every other Mustang has been complete garbage (maybe apart from the engine), and yet people buy them in spades.
As far as underrated cars go, I would probably select the Audi brand as a whole, as there are many great cars in the range over the last few years that have been dismissed by journalists and consumers due to misconceptions and past experiences |
