Car that loooks pretty ordinary on the outside but had hidden bells and whistles; eg, souped-up engine
A quick Googling suggests that the term is coming to have a broader meaning, that is, anything ordinary on the outside but extraordinary inside; though this usage hasn't yet found its way into the usu dictionaries
Any further input on this more generalized meaning appreciated--Thanks guys
