Askmen.com: Top 6 Overrated cars
We couldn't leave “not good enough” alone. We have dared to question the validity of the rank of several cars among their peers. The reputations of the vehicles, we felt, are greater than the actual products. Our views offended a few sensibilities, but we felt the story needed to be told. Think Friends on four wheels.
Rides making our overrated list are based on any number of reasons, which means it can be performance or design related, or both. Either way, we'll tell you why. All vehicles listed are 2006 models.
1 - BMW 3-Series
Our beef: Price and misapplied prestige
2 - Dodge Durango
Our beef: So many others do it so much better
3 - Dodge Viper SRT 10
Our beef: It's lost its design edge
4 - Porsche Cayenne
Our beef: Tarnishes the brand
5 - Land Rover Range Rover
Our beef: The second-mortgage maintenance bills
6 - Toyota Prius
Our beef: The mileage is less than advertised

Well then its not a repost. 
Just searched and the only thread I found similar to this was over a year old and dealt with older sports cars and super cars only. No current vehicles at all.
(unless you can find the thread, I have no clue)

The 3 series and its price make it on that list, quite sad as I used to have a 3 series convertible 
The Viper should not be on that list.
Range Rover and Cayenne, again too much $$$ for what you get.
Durango is a so-so, there probably are other vehicles they could have pick on than the Durango.

If I had to disagree with one, it would be the Cayenne. Despite initial fears it would tarnish the brand, Porsche loyalists flocked to it and it is now their number one profit-maker. Don't tell me when you see a Cayenne Turbo S on the road you're not impressed!
