A lot of vehicle purchases are made based on passion. Although we try to convince ourselves and the ones around us that we buy a vechicle based on it’s specs and functions we usually buy the hype about a car that wins out over what we need.
For some of us buying a perticular model or made is more like a religious experience rather than rational thinking ! No matter what car they drive, Mercedes, Hyundai, AUDI, Subaru, Honda, Toyota. Suddenly, they can’t understand why anyone would buy another vehicle over their prized possession. These are what we call fanboys and fangirls. Basically, they’re a group of fanatic individuals who will defend their beloved mechanical transportation devices with aggressive conviction, and I am one of them too.
There is a certain group of cars that has crowds and crowds of over hyped fans! Here is our list of the best 9 overhyped fanboys and fangirls cars. And before you think I’m writing from a holier-than-thou position, I am guilty of being a whole-hearted fanboy owner of more than one of the vehicles listed below.
5. Nissan GT-R
The GT-R is a bit of an odd entry here, as the strongest fanboys and fangirls are those who don’t even own the car. They are the ones religiously reading the specs and reviews of the car and watching the YouTube videos of the latest GT-R kills.
Although incredibly fast, especially for the money, this has led to a bit of a superiority complex for the GT-R, making many believe it’s faster than it actually is.
McLaren P1? GT-R will beat it. SR-71 Blackbird? The GT-R has a higher top speed. Millennium Falcon? The GT-R made the Kessel Run in less than 11 parsecs.
