Basically the title. We always hear about how great Porsche, Honda, etc. are, but what are some brands that don’t get enough love?

    Lucid. I just leased an Air Pure a couple months ago and it is fantastic. Their new Gravity SUV was revealed recently and it looked great!

    Lexus. Not as much recognition as a Mercedes, but is more expensive. Not as much recognition as Toyota when it comes to reliability, but is literally the same company.

    Chrysler. I don’t care how much everyone hates them. My family including my brother in law has owned a caravan, town and country, 6 x ram 1500’s, 2 x patriots, 2 x Cherokees, a Grand Cherokee L, 2 x compasses, and a Sebring. The only problem anyone had was when the 08 ram hit 200k miles and was rusting out, or when the 95 caravan hit 125k it needed a tranny and by the time it shit the bed again it was rusted out at 250k.

      THANK YOU! Dude is literally a mechanical madman if you will. 99% of people just know it’s a several million dollar car with cool doors and nothing else. His stability control system makes it almost impossible to lose control of a high HP car, in wet conditions, and that’s been shown on video. He has cars that make 1,000+ hp and it seems like no big deal.

      OH… shall we talk WORLD RECORDS? Didn’t they set the 0-150mpg-0 record for a production car? How about the world’s fastest production car? Sorry, Tuatara, selling 2 cars or whatever doesn’t cut it in my opinion. Bugatti could take the title, but if I recall they can’t run a top speed in the opposing direction on their home track, so they can’t average two numbers. Bugatti just has the record going in one direction. I still see Koenigsegg as hold the real record.

      How about the videos of them doing like 100mph-0 at full braking without holding the wheel and the car just stays straight?

      How about the “transmission-less” Regera? Seems no one even knows about that car.

      How about the new 9 speed I think it is transmission in the Jesko that’s like half the size of a normal transmission? I’ve heard Christian talk about it and it’s insane.

      It seems like everything they do is so futuristic it gets overlooked, but these things will be common place in 10, maybe 20 years times.

        Exactly, it seems like the generic billion $ companies coming out with bullshit technology kind of blind people from the real marvelous engineering developments.

    Saturn. I totally ignored them during their heyday, but looking for a reliable, affordable used car, I’m seriously considering the Saturn Vue.
