In some ways, this is no different historically with automakers who tried and failed to produce cars with internal combustion engines (DeLorean, etc.). The problem, this go around, is how we are slowly discovering the shortfalls of electric cars in the present state.  There is going to be a lot of trial and error over…

Always a Charger or Challenger, damnit! Please thieves, leave these wonderful gems alone.

A VW GTI with 200K miles?!!! Whaaaaaatt?!!!$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Hi Victoria: Great article, but the association with Neo-Nazis and Charlottesville? Not sure about that. I am a metro NYC-NJ native and lots of different folks, white, black, Hispanic and myself, Syrian Arab, own these bad boys, Challenger and Chargers. In fact, we meet up in Paterson, NJ for meets. Not exactly…

I can’t disagree with your observations Jose.  Love your articles by the way.  In a sense, yes, older cars were better.  Now, you can’t tell one sedan or SUV from another in a parking lot.  Cars of the past were such that you can tell a VW Jetta from a Ford Tempo, or a Ford Taurus from a Chevy Lumina.  One other…

Totally agree and that is the sad part.  

The previous generations were really cool and more in line with the rally spirit to the extent that the wheel arches/fenders were flared out a bit to give it “that look”. When seen on the roads, you could immediately tell the difference between a WRX and stock Impreza. Here, it looks more live a RAV 4 than it does a…

Oh fuck off. Go to Afghanistan, retard. 

I remember visiting my cousin in Istanbul back in 2010. He had a VW Toureg and a Peugeot 308. I shudder the thought now of what he paid for those cars because they were both now. Although my other cousin scored a nice S Class 3 point something liter, but from Russia. His daily driver was a Ford Focus. Saw lots of…

 Did not appreciate the virtues of the Cavalier back then, but now I do.  BTW, that four banger had the best air conditioning.  Love that GM plugged in oversized compressors for even its smallest cars, but then again, AC Delco was the best in the industry at the time for that stuff.

Excellent car all around for its price.  Underrated for sure.

Universally unloved for a reason. The Yugo was a tad better in quality. Had one brand new and traded it in for another Ford in very short order. When it was modified for Yankee driving, it was like a huge hex sign was placed on the corrosion protection, engine/tranny and the electronics.  The Jaguar it was based on…

Biggest piece of garbage, like ever.  Fell apart the moment it left the lot and the Jaguar model that is based on this platform did not fare better.  

You picked a winner and perfectly described the virtues of this car. In my college days, my daily commuter was a ‘92 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD. This car was really that good as you describe! I missed that car. Missed the handling, missed the "woosh" of the turbo, missed that little turbo hump on the hood, missed sitting…

You picked some good ones. Loved the Omni Turbo. Like an American Peugeot, but lower and meaner to ground.

Isuzu I Mark Lotus sedan version warmed my heart. So cool.

I find the Chrysler 300 to be the underrated vehicle of OUR TIME. Why? I mean, it rides on an old, heavy platform; gas thirsty; low tech; and on some level, ostentatious. But yet, I nominate this vehicle as underrated, simply because the Chrysler 300 is cool “Detroit” lookin, distinctive and stands out in a parking…

I have to say that anything Mercedes, BMW and Audi make in the sub $50K - $60K (depends on how many stupid options you get ) price range is way overrated. The design alone is so bland that it is increasingly difficult to distinguish them from sub $30K Hondas, Toyotas and Hyundais.  Or maybe the Asian competition is…

They just need a set a strakes running across the rear tail lamp to complete the retro cues.  Sort of like the McLaren F1.  

Yes indeed sir.  Pretty soon, Stellantis will axe those beauties in favor of some Euro-trash looking hatchback.
