Auto Spies picks the most overrated vehicles for 2004
You don't want to be on this list!
Cadillac Escalade- No better and not worth the price difference from a Chevy Tahoe Z71
MB C-class- A mediocre effort by MB at best
Porsche Cayenne S/Turbo- The dumbest and least attractive SUV made
Audi A8- About as edgy as a midwest county fair
Bentley Arnage- No better way to buy some depreciation
Entire Jaguar product line- The mercury of luxury cars
Mercedes-Benz SLK- Just about every company should re-think the offerings in this segment. We think they've lost their relevance
Rolls-Royce Phantom- The choice of the outgoing head of the NYSE
Maybach- If it was $50K more than an S-class, they would have hit a home run
Scion XA/XB- The "Official" car of Japanese undertakers?
VW Phaeton- A VW Quantum on steroids
Lincoln Navigator- On a scale of A to F, it's a "C"
Ford Expedition- One of the worst bumpy highway rides, you'll ever take. Unless you're driving an old one
Land Rover Discovery- The reason they don't make watches is because they haven't figured out how to make them leak yet!
Cadillac XLR- Better than the Allante and not a bad car, but we think there is very little market for an $75K american ragtop
Mercedes-Benz CLK- The new design just doesn't work for us...it's too Honda Accord coupe-ish for our taste
