Saab 9-2X Aero The Subaru WRX is an awesome performance car, but it's also the exact opposite of a sleeper. It's loud and brash, and it's built almost as much for getting attention as it is for providing an incredibly affordable driver's car.
This is a list of sleeper cars from the last 25 years, but honestly, the Chevrolet SS might even deserve to be included on a list of the best sleepers of all time.

The Ford Taurus is the Camry for people who are too Midwestern to consider buying a "Japanese" car (the Kogod Made in America index gives the Camry a 78.5 out of 100 for America-ness). You expect to see it calmly transporting 2.3 children and some groceries.
Sleeper cars will always have a dedicated following in the automotive world. For many, the sheer thrill of not having the prettiest, flashiest, or most exclusive looking car is as important as its performance.

But the changes are far from just cosmetic. There are Brembo brakes up front, a continuous damping control suspension, sport exhaust and three driving modes (Normal, Sport and GS).
