Grow up, please.

If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't bother posting. Next time, I will simply use the delete button instead.

IMO the MK3 Supra is most definitely NOT underrated. It is a piece of crap in most respects; unreliable, uninspiring, overweight, undersprung.

man, you must have had the complete opposite experience i had...i was extremely happy with that car. i never had any problems with it, other than having to replace the headgasket witha metal one and arp fasteners.of all the cars i've owned, i miss that one the most

I wouldn't say that the Z32 is underrated, I'd just say that the MKIV supra is vastly overrated.

[AZhitman]

^ Agreed.

Interesting choice. On one hand, it's a Porsche, so you could argue that it's starting off from a position of "over-rated". Still, the Boxster does have the odd stigma of being the "Porsche for ladies".

I find the unquestioning devotion to the rear-engine 911 to be kind of odd. Do the 911 faithful really believe that the Boxster's not a Porsche because it's mid engine?

No, it's not a Porsche because it's watercooled!

[MinisterofDOOM]

It's not a Porsche because it's not a sports car. It's like a slightly less gay Camry Solara Convertible that's still ugly and still overpriced.

OK, but is the Cayman S a Porsche? It did reputedly spank the Carrera S on the 'Ring. I'm sure 911 owners around the world shed a tear when they read that.

My dad's old VW Bug was aircooled, but I'm pretty sure that didn't make it cool. Actually, what made it cool was that it smelled like a wet sheepdog and you could see the road going by through the holes in the floor pan.

I don't think the Boxster is ugly, although I do prefer the Cayman. The 2nd gen Boxster is a stylistic improvement over the first gen, IMO.

[offtopic]Statix, did you really sell your TA?[/offtopioc]

[StatixNWH]

not yet man...showed it to a guy tonight.....but i found a eg hatch 8 vlave im gonna use for my DD and use thru college....the TA will be missed when its gone

[Looneybomber]

I'll give you 6k for it.

[Urabus GodofTraction]

Whoa whoa whoa?

Miata>S2000>TA? Makee no sensee!

Also,Mojo, I looooooooooooove the Cayman S. I was kidding about the aircooled bit, as I remember when the watercooled 911's came out, there was an aircooled rebellion. I, however, love all Porsches. Minus that Cayanne business.

[StatixNWH]

im getting the eg for only 1200 bucks.....runs great too...

[Looneybomber]

Whoa whoa whoa?

Miata>S2000>TA? Makee no sensee!.

Think outside the box, 6k for that TA would be a good buy. I could sell it later on and make a few $$$ I wasn't actually serious about my lowball offer to Statix but would still buy it if he said yes. I am still waiting for a nice S2000 though.

This has now become the "Cool, not-so-common-anymore cars" thread apparently...

(Owned an AW11, 626 GT Turbo, and have a GVR-4; all cool cars but the 626 would probably be the only one that qualifies as "underrated," and they're only quick once modded anyhow...)

Ditto. It had good really underrated cars in the beginning of the thread now everyone is just naming cars that if they were more common would be rated but because no one has heard of them, they are then proclaimed "underrated" which they aren't, they are just rare!

the SVX is a pile of plastic crap. worst engineering mistake subaru has ever made.

Not technically a "car", but I feel that Jeep Cherokee's are highly unappreciated and underrated.

They have lots of power, are beasts in the snow, are cheap to buy/maintain, and they're a dime a dozen! People tend to take them for granted though.
