• America's Ten Most Overpriced Vehicles

    Using a clever formula, Forbes created a list of vehicles with a sales value below its suggested retail value. Unfortunately, it misses one piece -- why these vehicles suck. That's why we've created an index to explain it.

    Click next to see what that index is and how we'll present these ten vehicles.

    This list takes the actual market value of the vehicle (i.e. what it actually sells for after rebates, mark-downs, et cetera) and compares it to the MSRP. Because there are now so many vehicles like this, they've combined it with the J.D. Power & Associates APEAL survey scores and Consumer Reports satisfaction numbers to narrow down the list to ten. How we did that below.

    We generally agree with their choices (though, they tend to take the highest MSRP possible) and, in order to help out our friends at Forbes, we've decided to augment the scores with data from the Jalopnik Average Zero Transaction Evaluation Key Value Index, or A.Z.T.E.K. Value Index for short. This index is a measure of the factors contributing to the undesirability of a vehicle.
