2. Ford Flex
In many ways, the Ford Flex is its own worst enemy. That’s because many consumers simply can’t figure out what type of vehicle the Flex is. Is it a station wagon? Is it a truck? Maybe it’s a crossover SUV of some kind? Many people look at this vehicle and simply shake their head in bewilderment. And truth be told, many automotive journalists admit that they don’t know what to call the boxy Flex. What we do know for sure is that the Flex offers a spacious cabin and a turbocharged 365 horsepower V6 engine that give this vehicle some real bragging rights. Unfortunately it tends to be the Ford Explorer and Escape SUVs that get all the sales, while the woeful Flex is left to idle on the sidelines.
1. Porsche 718 Boxster
Could any Porsche be underrated? After all, Porsche is one of the best known automotive brands in the world. And it has an impressive stable of best-selling SUVs and sedans in its automotive roster. The Macan and Cayenne, alone, are far and away Porsche’s most popular models, followed closely by the Panamera and, the iconic 911 sports car. To see the Boxster on a sales chart, you need to look all the way down to the bottom. It is usually sitting next to its hardtop mechanical twin, the Cayman coupe. This strikes us as wrong, as the Boxster is a car that has sublime engineering and offers its owners exceptional driving performance. And, the Boxster is a convertible to boot. A new turbocharged four cylinder engine makes the Boxster even more worthy of some attention. Yet it seems destined to be ignored, like all the other great vehicles on this list. Sad.
