To start off, Happy Dussera to you.
According to the dictionary an over-rated car would be one that underachieves and not what you wrote, which is :
"An over-rated car is one which is very popular, sells in large numbers or has a fan following even if it does not sell in large number, example Fiat cars"
By your definition the Alto, Baleno, WagonR, Brezza, Swift, Creta and the remaining top 10 cars in sales would be over-rated because they sell in large numbers, and similarly any Porsche or Ferrari would be over-rated for not selling enough and have a fan following. I could go on list almost every car sold in India as being over-rated for one or the other reason, but think I have made my point.
According to me no car is over-rated as a whole, because every car has it's positives and negatives. You choose a car that suits your requirements, and you live with the compromises you had to make.
You gave the example of Fiat cars being over-rated, which according to you means they aren't very good. I don't know if you have ever driven or owned a Fiat but most of them are the EXACT opposite of what you have claimed because they are great fun to drive, and for most part trouble free. Fiat as a group may be over-rated in India, but for heavens sake don't make a blanket statement and put their cars in the same category. |
