Overrated is a strong word - we wouldn't want you to think any of these aren't much good, but they do have overlooked flawsIt’s not a lemon list, more a herd of sacred cows about which the world thinks of in one way yet the reality can be slightly different.All – or, at least, most – of these cars have some mega plus-points, but they also have reputations that are a bit larger than life. We take a look at some, and explain why those reputations can be over the top:Land Rover Se

If you watch much television, you’ve likely seen the commercial where the dejected teenage boy walks away from a cheering group of soccer players — U.S. Men’s National Teams jokes here! — and from inside the backseat of the car texts his mom that he got cut. However, just before that mom gets a text from Uber informing her that her son just got into one of its cars and is heading home. Despite five decades of telling kids not to get into cars with a stranger, this k

Faced with an aggressive margin squeeze, a brutal market share collapse in China, and crippling domestic overhead, Volkswagen is preparing for a radical, historical contraction.
In a recent interview with the German newspaperBild, Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Blume admitted that the core of VW's crisis isn't a drop-off in buyer interest, but rather a catastrophic failure in baseline operational efficiency."Our products are very popular—but we’re not making enough money on them," Blum

We've seen a couple of first-generation Chevy S-10s in this series in recent years, and now it's the turn of the SUV-ized version of the S-10. I spotted this well-traveled S-10 Blazer in North Carolina two years ago.I'm always looking out for junkyard vehicles with odometers showing better than 300,000 miles, and this truck is by far the best-traveled member of the S-10 family I've ever documented. Like most high-mile vehicles I find in car graveyards (with a couple of notable exceptions), it's

Subaru began selling the Leone in the United States as a 1973 model, and all Subarus sold here (including the BRAT) were Leone-based until the appearance of the XT in 1985. Today, we'll admire an example of the late Leone, a loaded wagon found in a Denver-area yard in 2024.The Leone name was never used in the United States, despite the car going through three generations here. We got Leone coupes, hatchbacks, sedans, pickups and wagons during the 1973-1994 period. Just to confuse everybody, Suba

Comfort, performance and low running costs – company car and salary sacrifice drivers really can have it allDid you know that almost half of the UK’s business-leased cars are battery electric? It’s easy to see why. Electric vehicles offer unrivalled refinement, enhanced performance and the latest and greatest in-car tech, all at a fraction of the monthly cost of petrol or diesel alternatives thanks to ultra-low Benefit-in-Kind rates and generally cheaper running costs.
But whil

Can you beat the majesty of a highly strung V10 or V12 engine? Festival of Speed showed much remains to be decidedGiven it’s the closest thing Britain now has to a motor show, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is a chance to gauge the state of the car industry, and the displays laid out on the Duke of Richmond’s lawn this year represented a microcosm of the changes it’s undergoing.
We saw established firms leaning ever further into their heritage beside the ever-growing confidence

Forgettable electric Toyota gets an outdoorsy sibling with a likable functional agendaThere’s something slightly curious going on with the new estate version of Toyota’s mid-sized EV: the Toyota bZ4X Touring.This higher-riding, rugged-looking wagon derivative can now be considered ‘even more crossover’ than the normal car, I suppose. It’s part hatchback, part SUV; part off-roader, part urban sprawler; part jacked-up hatchback, part estate car. Part Toyota, part Sub

ICE version of SUV bows out, two years after end of EU sales and two years before it's replacedPorsche will end production of the ICE Macan at the end of July, bringing the curtain down on one of the firm’s best-selling models two years before the launch of its petrol-powered successor.
This retirement follows Porsche's acknowledgement that it underestimated continuing demand for the 11-year-old SUV, having originally expected buyers to migrate to the all-new Macan Electric.

We take a look at the cars that topped the sales charts in the US over the decadesFrom the clanging of the assembly line to the roar on the highway, American automakers have been pioneering the automobile industry for well over a century.
These companies have not only sculpted the nation's economic landscape but have also significantly influenced global automotive trends. We've decided to take a look at some of their biggest success stories with a list of the best-selling American-made automobil

The 1980s bear similar parallels with today, so perhaps it's time for us to remember the cars everyone seems to have forgottenWars, high fuel prices and rampant inflation.Ring any bells? Well there was also plenty of this in the 1980s as well, which is why in this feature we’re celebrating the cars from that decade – or cars from slightly earlier that made their name in the decade – that you may have completely forgotten: Subaru BRAT (1977)

Audi's Q3 is more than an elevated A3, especially in Mk2 guise from £10kThere's no guaranteed recipe for success in today's fiercely competitive car world, but taking a best-selling model and raising its ride height is a fairly safe bet - as Audi showed in 2011 when it launched the A3-based Q3, now one of its most popular models.
With the compact SUV recently entering its third generation, this is a good time to consider the appeal of the Mk2 - which represents the opportunity to bag

Coupé is a word few car makers use these days, but its spirit is alive and well in Germany. Sort of...The coupé market was bustling 25 years ago.
Ford, Peugeot and Volvo were among the raft of mainstream names doing a roaring trade in handsome two-door cars at accessible prices. And in very lurid colours. Today, the picture looks decidedly different and not merely because the trio we have here are all painted various shades of grey.
