Gosh all of these cars I've never heard of... except for the Solara, I don't think that car is a flop, is it still being produced?? Cause I still see it and it's lexus counterpart quite often on the roads.
I unno about the T/100 I see that truck way more often that it's competitor the Ford Ranger, actually they're quite a few T/100's @ my school being driven around.
Lol @ the Axiom, It's the first SUV i'm actaully very interested in, I love the interior sooo much, I saw that car a few months ago and thought it was a brand new car that just came out (same way when I first saw the CL-S), just to find out it's just a car that didn't sell.

All of the above are very notable flops but the Ford Contour (Mercury Mystique) was easily one of the biggest as Ford spent $1B to develop it and it only lasted one generation.
With regard to McLaren's post, I can recall bringing my 99 Accord for servicing and seeing only Honda Passports (several) in for repairs. Fortunately (?) for Honda, both the SLX and Passports were stopgap measures until they could develop their own SUVs (MDX and Pilot, respectively). Fortunately, both the MDX and Pilot successfully erased most recollection of their predecessors.
...and honestly, I think the new Civic Si 4dr might wind up being a flop. Though I personally love the car, I rarely see them on the road and regularly see the coupes. (My local dealer has over a dozen Si sedans in inventory.)
If I can get one for < invoice, then I may pick up one for my son.

Of course, there was always the Ford Festiva that we can probably add to the list as well.
...perhaps...but not a flop...they sold a ton of 'em.
