- Make a great car and it will be a hit!
But that’s not always the case. Often, for some reason or another, many of the heroically good cars get overlooked and are left forgotten. Well, it’s time to right that wrong!

Not lying, this is so far the best list channel for cars. Research, jokes, and a true understand of the car culture. Glad to see this channel growing.
You'll be thinking that only until I insult some of the cars you like 😁
@@TopCarsTV HAHAHA as long as you leave the Vector W8 alone :)

I have an idea for another video ,how about "the best track only Cars"?
My favourite is the British beast ,the Aston Martin Vulcan.
But that is only personal opinion and THOSE GORGEUS LINES.
Sorry if i mispronounced GORGEUS,i am Spanish ( I HAT FOOTBALL)
Great Channels grow Big ,and this one IS going to get some Big Macs
Agree
Totally I can't stand donut since perv moustache jeremy got on james' "rooster" day 1.
Bladed got old fast also.
1.Ferrari California
2.Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon
3.Mazda MAZDASPEED3 (1st gen)
A guy near my place owns a Ferrari California T
I still see some Speed3 on the road. Not as much as GTI but still.
Tbh I still fantasize over these beautiful cars
Brother owns a speed3. I want one
@@the_appointed1142 I can see why. It's a weapon.
Some people also underrate the Lotus Carlton because of it’s look, although it is a masterpiece
That's why it's a sleeper👌😉
The lotus Carlton looks like a Holden/HSV. Aussie muscle car
Try and find a good one though...
It’s was even so fast that the uk parliament wanted to ban it
alaa alshanti I love how it looks lol
2:42 lol, now you've said it, the M6 actually looks like a beaver 😂
"Nice beaver"
...and the G11 (2015 7 series) looks like a pig with a massive about
oink oink
lol an underrated beaver
Fr
Play some water noises and it'll build a dam 😂
The Kia Stinger is heading for this list.
Not that much
HELL YEAH!!!
Nah
96 likes from sensible car enthusiasts, 1 Hell yeah from someone who has probably also driven one and 2 badge snobs who probably think I'm talking about a Kia Optima and have no idea 🤣🤣🤣.
@@mrg-ghx8052 I know what car you are talking about. And I'm not a badge snob. I said "nah" because I know KIAs are pieces of shit.
0:34 porsche 944
1:53 m6 E63
3:08 chevy ss
4:28 VW phaeton
5:36 Ferrari 599
6:42 spyker c8
7:58 m3 lightweight
We know that, we don't have to say that
3:17 "no one ever heard about it"
Me: NFSMW 2005 flashbacks*
Well I know it is cobalt ss in NFSMW but I just liked it
Same memories here 😔
first car NFSMW hahha
@@flood3397 mine was punto
All Australians be like
The Spyker was definitely a very unique car. Had some characteristics you wouldn’t expect in a car for the road. Of the cars on this list, I’d choose the either the Spyker or the 599 GTB.
It's only downside was the interior.
This Channel deserves a lot more attention it’s absolutely hilarious and is actually a top 10 show that knows anything about cars I hope to see this channel grow as much as it deserves
Thank you John. I hope it grows too 😀
I agree man
U should do more regular contents then people will come flooding
I agree!
@@TopCarsTV it will happen, ONE DAY
0:24 reminded me of the Grand Tour when Clarkson announced what happens in the episode.
yes
I love the 944.
And the 924
And the 928
I’ve seen them all in real life, so I can confirm them
Also the Audi Quattro Should be on here.
I like your style... last I had seen some of those Audi Quattros are selling for a nice premium. The Audi should definitely have made the list!!!
928 looks way better in real life than looking at pictures of it.
@@lordofkeebs8424 110% agree. And if the looks don't convince 'em then driving one will
@@JR_harlow the Audi quattro is not underrated or forgotten.. a least here in Germany it is very good known
AugustneverEnds I've had the pleasure of driving a '89 928s all blacked out that my boss owned a few times, back the early 90's. Had only 4000 miles on the odometer. It kept wanting to go faster despite me, eager to be driven by someone not old and tired. I tried fruitlessly to buy it from him. It's definitely on my wishlist!
The M5/M6 E63 was an incredible engine if it runs properly. But it’s infamously known to be a ticking time bomb
Yeah like the V10s in the C6 Audi RS6. Such a nice engine when it runs but damn if something breaks which it often does... Almost lambo prices to get it fixed,
Underrated cars for me:
-HSV Coupe GTS (The fastest Holden Monaro of all time, powered by Callaway LS1 engine making 400 HP)
-Kia Stinger GT
-Mazdaspeed 3
-Ascari KZ1, a British mid-rear engine sports car that use BMW M5 E39 engine.
-Panoz Esperante, an American sports car that use modified Mustang mk.4 V8 engine.
the Ferrari 599 is my mom's dream car and I can understand why. the most important reason is that it doesn't attract much attention as other supercars!
The Spyker C8 was the first supercar I ever fell in love with, and to this day it remains one of my favorites. I’m happy to see it receive some love.
To me it needs a revival
@@H3Y023- I feel the C8 Preliator embodies a lot of elements from the C8 Spyder, both on the exterior and in the interior. All their cars are works of art, I don’t really see anything else you can compare them to.
The A70 Toyota Supra is so underrated. It is such a good car with the 1JZ and a beautiful design.
Aileron is pronounced A-le-ron, like on an airplane (the car’s whole design is inspired directly from aircraft)
I would love to own a spyker one day.
jaraldoe I'm a huge fan of the steam punk aviation style interior, though I feel the body to be somewhat haphazard
Anyone here remember the spyker c8 aileron laviolette? Im not sure if i spelt it right. I think the car came out on the old forza Motorsports.
Spyker used to make aircraft around 100 years ago so kinda makes sense of the interior, they also made the first 4x4 back in 1903
The 3 cars are: Ferrari California, Cadillac CTS-V Wagon and Mazdaspeed 3
4:48 "Hey did you come here in a taxi?" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 ohhh how they laughed 😂😂

The Ford Probe GT. 2nd gen from mid 90’s. Such a fun underrated car. Can’t find them anymore. 2.5 v6 with a 7,000 redline. Engine just screamed for more.
The ss is the Australian equivalent to the commodore SV. Or some other spec of the commodore. The commodore is generally praised for it’s reliability, sporty handling, fuel efficiency, it’s practicality and if you go for the higher spec, it’s performance.
Some of my favorite forgotten and underrated cars:
Isdera Imperator
Audi Allroad Quattro V8
Lamborghini Silhouette
Mitsubishi Starion
Pontiac Bonneville GXP
Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Spyder
Bricklin SV1
Maserati Bora
Here's my personal list for the most under-rated cars: Packard Junior Series (1935-38), NSU Ro80, Borgward Isabella coupe, Facel-Vega Excellence, Autobianci Bianchina Transformable, Singer Gazelle Series III, and Studebaker Hawk (all versions).
Kay, most underrated cars in my opinion:
Chevy Silverado 454 SS
1990 Ford Mustang Fox Body
1951 Hudson Hornet
Lotus 3-eleven
1971 Dodge Charger
honestly just the whole Lotus brand itself lmao
Techrules AT96
1970 Dodge Challenger R/R convertible
Old Mercs from the 70s and 80s

@@jakekaywell5972 oh yeah I forgot the 1963 Studebaker Champ
Amazing to see my own tunnelrun footage from the M6 back in this clip. Thanks! 🙏🏼
The M6 sound sent me into Heaven
Vauxhall VX220 Turbo? Hyundai Tiburon GT V6? Hyundai Genesis Coupe? MazdaSpeed 6?
Btw, the Porsche 944 Turbo was at the number 1 in my list of personal favourite front engined Porsche. While the E36 M3 was my all time favourite M3.
Acura Integra 92-95' the GSR or even better the R are amazing cars and very reliable, Suzuki Swift GTI also great car and great MPG but short lived
Great video, I look forward to more. Subscribed!!!!!
This channel deserves more than 27K subscribers. It has some great content.
Pontiac cars are so underrated!
True that
True
i don't think m6 is forgotten...
Not forgotten but just underrated
I have a 2007 Cadillac STS-V, I think it was very underrated... As is my 2017 Cadillac ATS-V 6-speed Sedan...Never seem to see these cars in these types of lists
Totally. Cadillac has really been trying in recent years to run from its grim 1980s and 90s past.
Here's my personal list for the most under-rated cars: Packard Junior Series (1935-38), NSU Ro80, Borgward Isabella coupe, Facel-Vega Excellence, Nash Ambassador, Autobianci Bianchina Transformable, Singer Gazelle Series III, and Studebaker GT Hawk.
“Every single optional extra as standard”
Every sixty seconds a minute passes in Africa.
heeeey my twin brother !!
Even though the MazdaSpeed3 was more popular, I have always loved the MS6. I've got 2, and thinking about buying a 3rd, which has a JDM motor swapped and is bone stock. My other 2 are beaters in comparison.
But that CTS-V Wagon would be pretty sweet!
Is it weird I know and love all these cars
Not at all! It's everyone else who's weird!
I’m so glad you put the spyker c8 on here ever since first seeing it in driveclub i fell in love with it
nice vid! i havent watched your videos in a while
I love the style, form and voice of this channel. I do appreciate that you're willing to say something like it is. I still find it comes across as jarring and forced. I believe if the comedy was capped at PG14 it wouldn't stray so far from the form of the show.
top 10 suvs that look killer when lowered/slammed
eg honda crv, vw touareg
Why buy an suv when you lower it? What a waste, just get a hatch or wagon

@@norwegianmountainbiker236 Just because you can *doesn't automatically mean that you should* .
@Mîđņįğhţ of course you "shouldnt" but there is absolutely no reason not to bag them, apart from the stability its looks killer, just lots of unneccessary real estate close to the ground
have you ever seen it ? :D
Mitsubishi GTO is a gem of a car
8:50 As you were talking about the E36 M3 Lightweight I think to myself "didn´t Paul Walker have like 5 of these" - and then you proceed to say the same thing in the video hahaha.
"Bring Pininfarina back", you've made a Flavio Manzoni sad. Latest Ferrari with manual gearbox are really, REALLY rare and also expensive
The mclaren 12c has been lost in time
Lol its a 570S

Thanks Justus 👍
great review
you know that Porsche if you live in Germany, there are like 2 in my neighborhood
There are two in my not so great US neighborhood, and a few in the trailer park down the street. It's a great car, but with so little perceived value, it almost always ends up in the wrong (careless) hands here.
Ah ze deutsche haben ihren Weg in ze Kommentar Sektion gefunden
Rigs of Rods player for sure know the M3 lightweight
WHERE ARE MY ROR GANG AT?
Oh god i play ror till this day and the e36 is my fav
i love how you added a Spyker C8 Ailcrom at the thumbnail
Audi rs6 c6
IIt has a twin turbo v10 that has like 570hp and can reach almost 350 km/h
The m3 lightweight is beatiful
Oh yes these american Version of the European M3 GT looks really better
The Toyota Aristo
Its a limo, with a 2JZ. What more could you want?
Its a good car but ruined by petrol heads
The manual transmission, sadly it only came in auto

@@yugo4196 I think the F80? Whatever the new one is, is the first. Then E30 is 3rd, E46 4th E90 2nd
Great vid!
Cool videos, you should make one about Australian cars, and as far as the SS being forgettable the last one made in Australia just sold at auction for $750,000 🤯
Ponitac g8 gxp, Dodge stealth, jaguar ccxr (i can't remember) they also underrated too bruh🔥😎
mg rv8
Why does this channel only have 20k subs? I thought it had like 1-2m lol
The cars are just like this channel. Underrated.
I really love your videos and was wondering if you could do a video of the top 10 best sounding cars
Already did that 😉
@@TopCarsTV oh k thanks
ferrari california, cadillac escalade, Mazdaspeed3/mazda3 MPS
2/3 correct
@@TopCarsTV close enough
Escalade?
Yeah the Escalade wasn't underrated. It was pretty overrated. It looked cool at the time but wasn't a good car. Now it's an outdated fashion accessory. Comparable to those golden plates with your name composed out of diamonds. Very expensive but completely tasteless which only a rapper would be proud to wear.
Oh, new video! **Clicks instantly**
One of my neibours owns an 944 turbo and that sound,i love it.
This video sparked my love for the m6
4:19 I'm from Poland and I don't understand it.

What about bmw m3 gtr?
You forgot another car (it makes sense because it could possibly be the most forgotten car of the modern era) the 2007 Lotus Europa
O yeah, I totally forgot about that one. Great car!
Interesting fact: Dodge made an EV concept car based on Europa long before Tesla even existed, but they gave up on the idea.
A little later Tesla based their electric car on Elise and changed the auto industry forever.
Can you imagine Dodge being at the forefront of EV revolution? 😳
My cousin owns a 944 I am trying to buy off him. He is like most people, doesn't appreciate it. It's been sitting untouched for over 10 years.
Chevrolet SS: THE PERFECT ENTHUSIAST'S DAILY DRIVER
When did Cadillac first release one of their cars?
In 1902!
most of gm cars started manuacturing in 1900 or even earlier
Thanks! Super clips super program thank You!
Great vid
Yeah, the Phaeton was pretty cool until you have to start fixing it
Oh yes! My uncle drives a VW Phaeton W12 and I love this car but noone else, it's really underrated!
Also Spyker is one of my favourite carbrands! Noone knows it and they really should get more attention!
Btw the Spania GTA Spano is a damn underrated and unkonwn masterpiece...
GTA Spano is just another supercar that has nothing special about it. Nothing to be remembered by.
There are many cars like that.
Love your videos man. Also, a forgotten car almost nobody knows is the Panoz Esperante.
Considering how ugly it is, it is best left forgotten 🙂
To be honest, I kinda like the infamous Bangle-butt. It gives some BMW’s trunks (especially the bangle 6 series) a much cleaner look.
The Camaro and many Chevy's use the Holden zeta platform designed in Australia for the Holden Commodore. The Australian chasis is sooo good for FR applications GM used it globally.
Fun fact. The germans love the e36. After a time of about ten years ago when these cars were cheap, prices started skyrocketing in the last ten years. For a good e36 330i people will pay 20-30k
If you want a good m3, the price tag will be about 40 - 50k
Totally agree with these!
Volvo S80 is also underrated, for such a cheap car. It just depreciated so quickly and its quirky Volvo and Swedish style with an all original Yamaha V8 just perfected it
this channel is perfect for watching a video during dinner
Porsche 944 was my first favorite car ever! Perfectly balanced 50/50 weight distribution. Price was reasonable. And it's a Porsche!
I forget what year it was first released, but... I'm certain I was old enough to legally drive?
(My current age is 53.)
I was correct about being old enough to drive! It was released in '82 putting me at the age of 16. In California, where I live, that's the legal age for driving.
@@bjjthaiboxing ye
Dodge Magnum 2004-2008, Lincoln LS 2000-2006 and the Mercury Marauder 2004-2006. All of these cars had a V8 and a Rear Wheel Drive option to them, but these cars have been forgotten.
The Lincoln LS was a special one, it offered the typical V8, Rear Wheel Drive, and A V6 Version, and it also had stick shift. The Magnum had high performance version the SRT8 version.
3:11 very nice my kammerade!
That M6 was always one of the sexiest BMW’s I’d seen. Also the only car I’d ever seen where I thought the droptop actually looked better than the hard top
Nice creative cars
0:53 "LAMMMMME 🎵" 😆
This page is so underrated
Even the channel is underrated
If I can recall correctly about the Spyker, the maker said that, they made that car free of all electronic mumbo jumbo that keeps the car on the road. Everything was back to the basics but with modern power and reliability. They wanted the driver to feel the road, the corners, and all that a car should really feel. I guess those who could afford it didn't want to take the time to learn and adjust, to controling a new animal
The M6 is a great car, my brother owned one for 3 years. It was a beauty and it broke his heart when he sold it but the truth is as I quote him after he sold it “That car isn’t a daily driver, sure, it’s sporty, looks cool, attracts ladies but the moment something broke on it you better call the bank and ask for a loan cause it’s gonna be pricey”.
And it was true. Aside from the fuel consumption which was ridiculous considering you don’t even press the gas pedal to the max, the parts were expensive as hell and quite hard to find outside of dealerships where we all know that when we hear the word “dealership” we automatically think lots of $$$$$.
It was nice.
Reliable? Not so nice.
Many people also forget rimac c1 and nio ep9, the best electric sports cars of all time
I don't think Concept_One is forgotten after Hammond rolled down the hill. That episode alone put Rimac on the map.
Nio is a track car. Less significant to entire car industry when you don't see how it will affect your next Corolla
About the M3 Lightweight. Ummm, I have a hot wheels version of that car and I love it so I didn’t forget about it
Much like the M5/6, the 599 and F430 look so good today, so much better than they used too. The Continental is another example
Alfa Romeo 8C
Probably one of the most underrated supercars.
Alfa Romeo Brera, one of the most overlooked hot hatches.
Duesenburg Model J.
Went out of production in 1937 but has power between 265 and 400hp depending on spec.
LOVE me the Spyker--coolest looking car I ever saw. It totally killed me when they drove one into the drink at the beginning of "Basic Instinct 2." How many cars have, "For the tenacious, no road is impassable" etched onto the tailpipe tip in Latin?
@2:46 that beaver is from my town here in alberta canada.
Why am I not surprised that it's in Canada 😁
I have the spyker C8 alerion in the crew two and I drive it quite a bit probally cuz it’s so awesome
The 924 had a round bicycle reflector on the sides the 944 didn't. Back in the day you couldn't even get an M6 in the US unless it was a grey market Euro spec car. You could keep it here legally for one year then it was supposed to be shipped out of the US, there were 6s including the absolutely beautiful 635csi but no Ms.
