I see that too many people are getting triggered over the Austria / Australia comment.
That was a joke, a meme about stupid people who confuse the two. And to make it even funnier, others have joined in with their fake maps and flags and whatnot.
Examples: bit.ly/3UKeGWD
@@Jake_Brakes no, not even a rick roll
as an australian im offrnded
@@TopCarsTV DeTomaso P72 = Pagani
i wish i was spoiled with options, not many enthusiast cars to have in brazil
@@TopCarsTVwhere was the mk3 supra
I knew it!
The RC-F and Alpine A110 are severely underrated. Especially compared to the M4 (ew) and the Cayman, which I love. Yet I'd still go with an A110 if I had the money.
Another super underrated car is the Abarth 124, it's a spicier MX-5 and also much prettier, there's even a version with a carbon hard top.
Edit: I forgot Jaguar made this awesome sedan, sad it never caught on. Styling wise it's not only unique but stunning too.
I love the 124 too, it's so underrated
Yeah why would you have Miata if you can have the Abarth 124? Or even Alfa 4C? THE BEAUTIFUL ALFA ROMEO 4C? Get over yourself.
@@badarkharismaputra5745 Simple, reliability, and parts are easy to find and cheap to get for Mx5. Average consumer does not have much money to spend, if they would, everyone would be driving high end luxury cars and not with Toyota Yaris's.
I’d love to have all of these, only problem is the money part.
The M4 isn't that bad looking at all, compare it to BMW's newest 7 series and X7 and it looks miles better. It's also the fastest and the most aggressive looking out of the options you listed.
I’m glad someone’s finally shining some light on the Peugeot RCZ, i can confirm it drives splendid.
Another thing which altered its reliability was the 1.6-liter turbo four-cylinder powertrain. The same one found in the R56 Mini Cooper S… enough said.
horrible engine, ive had the misfortune of working with those alot
yea feel like the reason why RCZ is unpopular is that THP engine, no dealership want anything to do with them
1.6 turbo is known for being the most unreliable engine with the 1.4 turbo 🙃
I loved mine. Unfortunately the German engine began playing up and it wasn't worth keeping as the repair costs were nearly what the car was worth. My only gripe with the car was it never quite went like it looked but the handling was superb.
@@MCDrB-wq8ed fun fact: even tho its a peugeot built and engineered engine, it shared plans, systems and parts with BMW's Vanos system. even tho it was an absolute failure and so many things were wrong with the engine, the 220hp variant was a fun one to drive, not to own tho
Although the Lexus LC 500 has already been mentioned in a few videos, it is still a very solid alternative in terms of a grand tourer. It is a shame that people do not consider it.
True its my go to for gt cars
@@okbro10 mine too
I personally think its the sexiest looking car ever,even im not a Lexus fanboy 😅
@@Ludwik_the_silly_bnuyy exactly!!! definitely better looking than modern ferraris
that car has the most timeless design
The mind of a Genius, the editing of an Italian Sculptor, the impeccable delivery and timing of a Fed Ex Driver at Christmas time, and we as Viewers get to enjoy an entertaining video like this. Another Masterpiece!
Stype's channel is criminally underrated!
Well said buddy🤌🤝
The Jaguar project eight is much better then a BMW M4 gts
Fax
@@dioncuni2586 FAX as well
And M5 CS as well.
*than
@@nodo7575 true is much better then M5
FINALLY!! someone talked about the p72, it's such a shame that nobody is talking about but I'm glad you did
I mean they kinda did it to themselves. Advertising the car and building show cars with a V12 and then putting a V8 in it.
It looks amazing, it looks like a mix of the 2005 Ford GT and the Pagani Zonda F
Never expected my beloved M140i finally on a list like this. It’s such a perfect all around package for such a little car.
Yeeah, too bad it's the last one of its kind. The newer generation 1 series (F40) is fwd with no 6-cylinder option :/
Screw the new f40 m135i. They have ruined the one series. The F20 was special, and there was a reason to buy it. Manual I6 and rwd or 4wd if you want.
But now the F40 is just one of many, and it's not even particularly good at beeing a hot hatch.
@@v.s.727 I’d argue the F40 is a better hot hatch overall. The F20 did the “hot” bit so well, with the six-cylinder engine and RWD/AWD, I found it didn’t do the “hatch” bit very well. Hot hatches for me are family cars, that just so happen to be really fun on a fast road or race track. I know someone who had a F20, the boot/trunk was very small, couldn’t fit much in it and felt a touch cheap inside. The new F40 is a world away, much higher quality interior with more storage space in the back. I will say the f20 looks much better though. So yeah, RWD and 6 cylinders on paper is a more desirable combo than AWD and 4 cylinders, but I personally think the F40 is the better overall package.
Yes, the f40 is more sensible, but as a car guy I'm willing to take some sacrafices for an I6 and rwd.
But the F20 M140i is special, whilst the f40 can be substituted with any A class, A3 or Golf.
And I think that the A45s and RS3 are a bit hotter than the boaring f40 m135.
@@v.s.727 Cool. Plus, the F20 is not a disaster in the practicality department either, just that the F40 is better in that respect. I’ve never driven a hot F20, but I can imagine it must be really fun.
🤣that Mat Watson joke got me. Funny guy
I got the RCZ back in 2012 and its been more then 10 years looks new till today the styling is absolutely timeless
When I drive 207 in my country, which is very rare, I saw someone with very white 207-like front, just parking on the roadside. Then I realized it wasn't 207, it's RCZ. And since then I think the cheapest CC there is in my country is secondhand RCZ, and I want it lol 😂, although yeah since something like 207 is very hard to get sparepart on I'll assume RCZ is even rarer and harder to find 😮. It's not the matter of maintenance cost, it's about if it's maintenance-able at all
Nice power but terrible reliability
Today i saw this Peugeot RCZ. I've never seen it before, it reminded me a Porsche Cayman from NFS MW but without the spoiler :D
Bro said austria and showed the map of australia💀💀
I own a Peugeot rcz, it’s got its little issues like any car it’s age would, but man is it fun and it handles speed so well
i personally love the Alfa Romeo Guilia, both the normal and quadrifoglio one.
They are quite beautiful and classy cars.
Why is no one talking about the Chevy ss?
Fun fact about the Giulia. The normal car and the Quadrifoglio share the same transmission, which means that you get a carbon fiber transmission on a 2 liter diesel, and it's the same thing for the Stelvio
@@LM-oh3vw cool
I thought style would talk about the s2k while he was talking about the miata
But he talked about the opel gt
It's suuuupeeer underrated
And the giulietta.
I saw a random Polestar P1 this past summer, and made sure I stopped over before going to dinner with my mom and grandfather to see what it was. I was in LOVE seeing it, and even though it was polestar which is normally EV, the exhausts completed the car. Not EV, exotic, but not in your face, and GOOD LOOKING! So now knowing that I saw one and it’s more rare then a F40, I’m glad I didn’t ignore it!
The rcz-r is the best version of the rcz, really fun to drive but not common in my country
It has that facelifted front end, that I really don't like at all.
@@TopCarsTV yep, I also like the non facelift version
Another really overlooked car, at least here in India, is the Toyota Camry, which rivals the A4, C class and 3 series in terms of luxury and price but it's reliable and rare af (in India) because people in India value the badge of the Beamer and Merc more, I own a 2022 Toyota Camry here and it's pretty sad that people don't buy them, they are reliable luxury cars that come with equally great features and tech as the German rivals
Yep your comment makes sense and yeah even though it's a toyota.
Saw one at traffic yesterday. Unbelievably huge presence compared to the others that were on road. Huge grill still looked amazing.
They are a huge thing in Russia, so much so that you cant find one for under 5k because they value the luxury and reliability that comes with it a lot
@@HurairahGT1 5k used? how old is that camry?
@@masterhybrid16 the new ones are really beautiful
Objectivly you cant compare Toyota Camry to German ptemium trio. Even VW Passat is not in that league. They are automotive avantgard. Not even Lexus is on the same level with them.
My Neighbor has a Peugeot RCZ. It is Such a Cool Car!
It's a great car,love mine
I wish they made a convertible
The RCZ with a low mileage is a MUST HAVE !
Had the RCZ for little over a decade. Absolute head turner til today, rapid 200 bhp engine, very light car, great handling. Definitely a gem and a future classic
Disagree with the rapid bit. Same power as a Mk2 TT but over a second slower to 60. 0-60 in 7.5 seconds isn't rapid. Don't get me wrong, I loved mine but it never went like it looked. Agree with the handling though, best handling car I've ever owned, even better than my current car which is an S3.
It's like 407 coupe, but worse
@@MJ-uk6lu there are no cars out there worse than the 407 coupe. The only place I want to see one of those is in a scrapyard.
@@calibrazxr750 Any reason why you don't like it so much? It seems like perfectly alright barge for leisure driving, that isn't going to bankrupt you, while having some okay power.
@MJ-uk6lu because it is neither one thing or another. A sports car that handles like a family saloon, or a family saloon that lacks the practicality of other family saloons. If you want a sports car, buy a sports car, if you want a GT car, buy one of those. The 407 coupe is a compromise and a rather ugly one at that.
The cars in this list need more love,masterpieces overlooked by people
My dad used to own an rcz, loved the car and was fun when we used to pull I'm in front of my school
i really love your lists, glad i found this channel
The Peugot design department are awsome. By far the best looking mass producer from Europe, startin with the 80's 106
Actually, it all started with the 80's 205 (the 106 only appeared in early 90's).
I love the M140i and since it's based on the M2 I think it has some serious potential.
Because at the core it's an insane car. Rwd, I6 and a manual. It just needs some stiffer suspension and an LSD and much more.
I love your style to making video, you're one of the best channel worldwide. Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹
You talked about the Lexus SC300, but the IS300 has also the 2JZ engine and those ones are even cheaper
Honestly, I didn't know. Eh, never too late to learn something new. Thx 👍
And yes, that would've been a better pick
I saw an IS300 recently, and I actually forgot that they came with the 2JZ until I saw a sticker...
soarers and altezzas, yeah underrated and yet may be even cheaper
What about Toyota Chaser?
It's the same car as the Lexus sc300, and the Toyota Supra is actually based on this car
Basically the Supra is a 2 door version of the Chaser
Brilliantly entertaining! Well thought out. Thanks for the video.
That P72 is beautiful. Underrated alternative I would consider is the Koenigsegg CC850. Like a modern throwback to the CC and is loved by engineers
"The RCZ is actually from Austria. Just like Adolf" 💀💀
Hahahaha
Correction on the sc300, the engine in the supra was the 2jz-gte (the one with the turbos) and the engine in the sc300 is the 2js-ge (no turbos), although you can make a lot of power you would have to get new heads and other internals to support turbos if you wanted to make as much power as the supra engine could
You do not, you can get that motor to 400-450hp with the distributer still on, much more if you delete the dizzy and go a cam trigger kit. The only weak point would be the pistons, nothing wrong with the heads (in fact they have better mid range flow than the gte, GTE's top end doesnt matter when your pushing huge psi through). I have a 600hp supra with a 2jzge with the trigger kit on a safe tune with pump 98octane fuel. Going for 900 on E85. Now granted its a fully built motor, hypertune manifold, 6boost exhaust manifold, flex and 67mm turbo. Was probably still cheaper and better in the long run than buying a stock 2jzgte motor (15k in AUD).
Thank you for this video. ♥️ I've always loved all the mentioned cars.
you deserve more views, dang nice videos, i watch every single day
That detomaso made the pagani look like cheap plastic. It's simply 🤤🤤🤤
Right
The pagani still looks good, even almost just as good as the de tomaso. It's a beautiful car
The P72 takes clear inspiration from the 33 stradale, I would say. And, I would add, FINALLY! Great video, as usual.
and please remember, I am the italian that drives a french...
Italian driving a French car? Wow. Has your family denounced you yet?
@@TopCarsTV shut up! Frogs eaters have something, when it comes to design... something wrong. Sickening, sometimes... However...
one of the best videos i saw in ages...seriously pure denied facts of decades which i thought only m the one thinking about...thanks...cheers!!!
Damn. My car the Peugeot RCZ made it here. I've always loved the car and how the double bubble roof which looks great not to talk of the retractable spoiler and the 200hp it boosts from such little deamon.
i've known the p72 for a long time,but goddamn i thought its just the exteriour and interiour that looked nice,holy shit. also i love the mirrors
Finally someone talking about the opel gt. (I live in the netherlands). It has been a dream car for me. Honestly I think it is the car that made me a car guy. I want one!
The RCZ is the only Peugot I would ever consider buying, mainly because it reminds me so much of the Volkswagen Karmann Ghia.
Couldn't be more agree with the P72. By far the most beautiful car produced on the last decade or 2.
I can't believe how overseen is.
I have the diesel RCZ as my daily driver. Reliable, cheap to run and enough hp for any daily need. Leather interior and great to drive. Love it.
The Gasoline variant has terrible reliability idk about the diesel
@@Nekminute totally agree, if Peugeot had dumped the BMW parts, it would have been an insane car. Look at what they did with the RCZ-R engine
Keep up the good work 👏🏻
I resonated so much with so many points in this video. Experienced car fans think this way. That P72 is gorgeous.
Loved the video, and i also loved the fact that the Polestar 1 (one of my favorite cars in recent years) was featured.
I just love the way it looks! It's one of the only cars that in design terms i consider perfect. The trouble is that, i also love the Ferrari Roma, and i think it is just as pretty. So, if i had to choose between those two, it would be difficult because for me, the Fezza is also perfect looking and not that brash and loud like other Ferrari's.
Also, I don’t think the prices are a million miles apart…
This Peugeot convertible is everywhere in France, but im gonna go for a Peugeot 205 convertible instead
Hey french Renault and old Peugeot are incredibly reliable. Yes Citroen had a mediocre reputation but if you lived in France before 1990 the only Citroen you saw often where 2 CV !.
I always thought the Peugeot RCZ was a beautiful car. A pity it is underrated and out of production but definitely a nice one to have
They sell it here in the states?
Man you should quit whatever you do as a job and fully commit to your channel. The most entertaining car content on youtube.
never even heard of the p72, that thing is actually stunning holy shit why doesnt anyone bring it up its astounding
The TT 1.8 is the legendary 20v Turbo (a.k.a 1.8T). A very quick yet compact 4 cylinder. I put one in my Beetle (on an earlier year that VW did it). Suitably tuned it got 250 bhp. But, you’re spot on with the Peugeot - that rear glass double bubble is beautiful - because of their rarity compared to the ubiquitous TT, they hold their price very well.
There is a 1.8 TFSI (16v) in the TT mk2 which is RUBBISH.
But I guess you mean the legendary 1.8t (20v) from the first gen TT. This engine is amazing. Like you said, squeezing up to 250 hp without mods is easy and would still run reliable. With some perfromance parts (like forged pistons from S3 model, same engine family) it will go up to 400hp.
Anyway... 1.8t is great!
I'm pretty sure the Mk2 TT came with the new 1.8TFSI, the "1L of oil per 1000km is normal" engine which by all accounts is pretty shit. Mk1 did have the most powerful OG 1.8 20vT in the quattro Sport, 240PS from the factory. and of course the 225 BAM. forged internals help a great deal with getting more power out of them.
Except RCZ is even uglier IRL than in pictures. It's almost the peak of ugly Peugeot. As sports car it was dusted by competition. It was completely pointless model. Even Peugeot itself made it even more useless with releasing 407 coupe with V6, which was nicer car overall.
@@MJ-uk6lu the 406 coupe is an experiment in hideousness. That thing is so ugly, even blind people hate it. It is a coupe version of a hideously ugly saloon car, so you get the worst of all worlds. An impractical family car, or a shit handling sports car. I would rather travel on the bus than risk someone I know seeing me climb out of one of those abominations. I wouldn't accept one as a gift.
I had completely forgotten about the Jag...what a machine!
1:37 Yesss, finally somebody said it.
Yet they overlook the Elise
Ha! I knew the Sky was going to be the Miata adjacent car. I'm more interested in its twin, though, the Pontiac Solstice. The GXP is identical to the RL. Same engine, same horses, same jaw-dropping looks.
The Subaru legacy spec b sedan is also highly underrated and overshadowed by his younger sibling the Impreza 😢
The de Tommaso is not underrated, when it came out there was no way to hide from it. It was all people talked about
I'd take any Pagani over it though
A good alternative for The BMW m3 is definetly The alfa Romeo giulia qv. Very underrated car, even if its quite better than its competitors.
never fails to dissapoint
To be fair ,the only gripe I have with the RCZ is that although it looks gorgeous from the back,the front looks just like an ordinary 207.
I have an 09 128i (e88). Absolutely love the car! Handles amazing! Great pickup.
I was hoping the RS5 Sportback got a mention, cause while the rivals are more brutal and shout louder with a V8, or F1 tech in the latest C63 and a huge grille in the new M3, the RS5 is just sitting there with a pretty design, a real nice engine and I find it is often more affordable, because no one buys them. 😂 I also find it sits in the shadow of its RS4 sibling, what with the estate/wagon cult. The RS5 Sportback has a lift back tailgate, giving you access to a reasonably big trunk/boot. Plus, I know wagons look cool and all, but you can’t beat a swoopy, 4-door coupe for style, can you?
If you want an RS5, get the first-gen V8 coupe. That is the Jason Statham of cars. As soon as you go V6T and 4-doors and liftback tailgate... That's not what Statham is about.
The v6t is not it
I am German but had several Peugeots including a 106 XSI and a 508 RXH. Reliability is actually no problem these days, that french cars are unreliable is just a myth carried over from the 1970 or so.
Hatte in den 70er einen 504.
Prima, aber standig probleme.
nee auch 2000er modelle sind Teilweise von problemen geplagt
@@i_like_ya_cut_g2350 Meinst du dies: Teilweise hat Mercedes Benz seine Autos in den 2000er Jahren Autos mit Wasserbasiertem Lack lackiert, der von Bakterien befallen war und diese Autos haben dann eben schon 5 Jahre später gerostet.
Klar gibts immer wieder mal Probleme - bei allen Herstellern.
@@petergerritgroen3157 Eben, in den 70ern.
I've used an RCZ recently, 6' tall forget it! Also desperately needs a rear wash wipe, very comfortable once your ensconced inside.
Thanks for sharing!👍
Hi stype pls make a video on cars that should’ve not been discontinued
The fate of the RCZ is truly unfortunate. I also think it looked great and stylish when it came out, but especially the R had one big problem: it was FWD. While yes, both the Audi TT and the RCZ are no real sports cars, I think with the power to weight ratio it would have been an incredibly well handling car in its class. After all, the Opel GT/Saturn Sky was RWD too. And that one shared parts with the FWD platforms Astra and Insignia. It's a shame because I believe the only recent RWD cars Peugeot has ever built were driving at Le Mans.
As for reliability, I think it can't get much worse than a late 2000s Audi TT either. They had huge oil consumption issues at the time, so the only thing people didn't like about the RCZ was... the badge. As it usually is. And I guess the cramped rear seats but let's be real, no one used these. It doesn't bother Nissan GTR owners after all
The Project 8 and the NSX hurt especially because they were so good at what they were intended to do but the public just had the wrong expectations
This channel need more recognition
that p p72 just pure beauty
1:36 Narrator-Austria

Another overlooked car: the Reliant Scimitar GTE. Its insane how reliant built them as well as the Robin during the same time period
Great video. Thanks.
9:37 alpine a110 9:43 lexus rc 9:48 acura nsx
Wow watching these videos compared to ideal media seem great! Feels like Ideal just pushes hot garbage out lol thank you for making solid videos!
Yeah they produce garbage, but Ideal Media is also making over a million $ per year.
Meanwhile, the way things are going for me, I might have to look for a job again.
@@TopCarsTV geez thats insane that their able to push out bad videos and still make that much, I guess with how many videos they put out it reels in a higher view count..

Happy your back
vw sirocco also is kinda overlooked becouse most people would just buy a golf gti or an equivalent of that from another brand but it is a rlly good looking car
Peugeot RCZ THP200 was fun, but the maintenance costs were killing me, those BMW prince engines are cursed i tell ya
I have a 350hp, torsen diff FWD RCZ R, love it😁
First and yeeeeesss new upload 👍🔥 btw what happend to the old background music and can you pls announce again when you are talking about the next car because I like an idiot suddenly get confused when your suddenly talking about a different car 😂
I like the new music more
@@TopCarsTV last one was good and this one is even nicer 👍
Your memes are hilarious 😂😂❤
Another underrated car in my opinion is the Renault Sport Spider
Yeay....I've got the 200hp RCZ ..awesome car 👌👍
Ever since i saw the Peugeot RCZ, it became one of my dream cars i can afford when i get my license im buying the Peugeot RCZ
Tbh I got to know about the Lexus SC300 in FH5 and tuned it to 700hp to use it as a drift car and I knew about the 2JZ in it since you can inspect your car's engine bay
and Alpine A110 is my all time fav sports cars
Your videos are very interesting i just wanted to know what car(s) do you have personally
The P72 has lines from Lola and 333 P3. It is so beautiful!
1:34 geography on point 😂
As a friend of mine once said in relation to the 4 seats of the TT (applicable to the Peugeot): only the passenger seat does its job properly.
A Saturn skyline vs Miata Mx-8 is the definition of “This is brilliant, but I like this”
I don't exactly know what model it was but ty for including the Lexus RC it needed more love for what it is.
If you want a wrong wheel drive sports coupe, buy a Prelude. They are still very cheap and rides like on rails , with or without the four wheel steering. Great car.
Nice video. I thought that the Alfa Giulia would be included..... And also I like the video because you somehow managed to again show your obsesive animosity against our beloved Horacio
I don't hate Horacio, I love that guy. He is a true artist, but I don't like each of his creations.
Ever since I saw that Peugeot on this video.. I started seeing some of them in my hood especially in my nearest mechanic workshop 😊😊
the saturn sky was mentioned.
this channel officially doesnt suck
Hear me out on a video idea: “Times car manufacturers went BACK on their word”. Times car manufacturers made major decisions that they eventually brought back or changed anyway. For example Chevy bringing back the camaro. It’d be a cool video to see in the times of our favorite brands claiming to go “all electric” soon. We love ya Stype!
Hey stype! Love the video. But how many of these are available in the United States?
5/7. Including the honorable mentions it is 7/10
Only 20% of my audience is from USA so I like to broaden it up a bit
@@TopCarsTV that's awesome! If I had the money Id buy the DeTomasso
I like the "...being featured in a RIDICULOUS movie" sentence 😂
bro the polstar is the most elegant car ive ever seen on the internet, it cant be matched, its just a woek of art!
