What are some cars that you think are underrated. I personally think the 04-06 Pontiac GTO also known as the Holden Monaro is underrated. The looks weren't the best I agree but I don't think it looked terrible. It was good enough looking. It handled well and was nice to drive. Plus it came with LS engines which are some of the best engines ever made.They're bit of a cult car now, and I'm sad not more people like them. I think that's due to GM using the GTO name on them. I think they'd be better remembered, if GM would have named them differently. Either way the GTO is still a car that nobody really gives a thought to and is a great performer.

Edited by Zonda: 4/15/2017 5:20:54 PMR32 Skylines, GTR or otherwise, are greatly overshadowed by their R34 counterparts (except that shitbox GXi lmao). I don't think they're disliked so much as forgotten about. The GTR basically had Group A by the balls. It's a pity the formula was abolished after the dominance. I think it had the potential to spark an automotive arms race that would've seen some absolutely bonkers road cars by the 2000s. You can pick an R32 GTR up for roughly half the price of a 34 if you look in the right spot, and my god the RB26 is a stupid engine, especially considering they were pioneered almost 30 years ago. The N1 can produce and handle 850hp with only modifications to the fuel flow and boost pressure.
