add the hatchback to that too, I only see the coupes whizzing around town, I've never seen the hatch in real life and I may see the SI-Sedan once a week (less than I see CL's.... speaking of CL's I saw a beautiful white CL-S on highway 6 like 20 mins ago).

but def not a flop, I still see metro's ricing around every once n awhile.

 

last Gen Honda Civic!!!

 

Considering that Honda sold probably 5 million of those in that generation, I hereby declare your entry invalid

 

^^^

I don't think some people understand the topic of this thread... it's NOT what YOU think is ugly or just meh... it's about cars that failed in terms of sales

 

tru dat!

 

Maybe he means the EP3?
I tried googling the total sales of that model but no luck, I wonder if anyone could have better luck than I did.

But chyea overall Civics are like the opposite of a flop....

 

Those were pretty interesting cars... I still see 'em around here and there...

Guy around the corner from me had one for sale about 5 years ago... Took him over a year to find a buyer...

 

Pintos weren't a flop... the exploding gas tanks were an issue, but they sold a shit load of 'em. Lightweight, RWD, and Cheap... God I wish someone made something like that today.

 

I nearly forgot the Oldsmobile Trofeo, a cousin to the reatta

 

I did not know they sold that many POS Mustang II's

 

Worst Car of the Millenium, from the worst site of the Millenium

What about the 2 door Tahoe?

 

I actually liked those (back then)

 

I just thought of another one, the FWD mercury capri convertible

 

THE VEGA!!! My Grandpa talks about how poorly designed that car was, how you could never start it in the cold (fyi, they lived in OHIO) because GM used different metals in the block and heads so when it was cold, a certain metal contracted more than the other which made it impossible to start w/o an electric blanket on the engine for an hour b4 startup.

^ But is it a flop? I thought they sold quite a few of those back in the days.... As for the two door tahoe, i dont see them on the road anymore but I remember back in their day it was quite the teen fave, hell i remember saying as a little kid "mommy when I grow up I want a two door tahoe!" Now I just say VTEC or die...

 

<--- loves that car

 

especially the SRT-6 model

 

Hummer H3....

 

what about the brand "Saturn" as a collective flop?

 

^^ If they keep pulling moves like the Aura and Sky, they wont have to worry about that.

 

i actually like the new saturn suv...

 

how do you defined "Flop"? I'm just curious I see them quite often and I hardly doubt GM plans on dropping this vehicle anytime soon

 

You see a lot of H3s? I think I have seen like 4. With the new gas prices I honestly cant see Hummer being around much longer.

 

Olds Alero, Aurora, Intrigue, Silhouette,

 

very true. and I hope they do well.

I was thinking of the Ion, L-series, etc.

 

what i see as a flop that had GREAT potential was the Plymouth Prowler... for some reason it never caught on....The potential to stuff high hp, with those looks would have made it a winner.... but no

 

I think the V6 killed that vehicle.

 

I think the "gay" population liking it probably did it as well.

 

Honda Del Sol?

 

:rolf: That may have had something to do with it

 

I guess you could just say that the whole Oldsmobile brand was a flop... or American Motors (who used to own Jeep), etc etc etc...

 

the CL was a flop for sure both 1 and 2 generations.

The Cobalt SS was a flop, aside from the tuner / performance car portion of the automotive community this car was a flop. I still have yet to see one in real life and i live in bay area norcal and commute to San Francisco alot.

 

I totally disagree, first of all... do I see H3's around ? Yes, I do... Do I see them every corner I turn like Toyota Camery's? NO I don't... But I do see them... it's not like the Isuzu Axiom or Pontiac Aztek where you can go for weeks maybe months and not see one. Second, there'll always be a market for SUV's (lots of soccer mom's that absolutely refuse to drive a mini van), especially mid size SUV's... Haven't you notice every car maker's focus on this category? 3rd, yes... the gas prices have been going up... but if anything, it'll turn people away from the V8 H2 making the I-5 H3 more appealing...

when you say something is a "flop" like a movie... it's in the theaters for one week maybe 2 weeks, 3 at the very most...

when a car is a "flop" it's in production 1-2 years, 3 at the very most... I don't see GM pulling the H3 off the market anytime soon (first year model was 2006). BUT with that said... I don't know why da hell the Aztek was in production from 2001-2005

if anything, they'll pull the H2 LONG before the H3

 

Mazda Millenia - My Dad had one before he got his TL. Was a fantastic car before the supercharger went and it blew oil everywhere.

The Millenia was supposed to be the entry level car for Mazda's luxury division called Amanti but the company failed because of a lack of funds so all of the premade Millenia's were just rebadged as Mazda's. Too bad it never made it, it was a great car. I supposed the lack of any redesign in its 9 year existance did it in.

Acura Vigor - Nice car, just extremely bland looking...

 

I already said the CL was a flop....

The Cobalt, i wouldn't quite say flop... but def a dissapointment, isn't it's competitor the tC as for like teen cars?? I'm not too sure about that but I know that I don't see too many cobalts on the roads these days.

 

Sterling

I actually saw one on the road today...

 

Fiero was sad. They had the basic equation right, it just need a good product manager. They finally started getting better right at the end. Imagine a generation 4 or 5 Fiero with the new DI turbo in it. Maybe 30K for a midengine targa with 260 hp and maybe 2500 lbs. Boy that would suck. GM...sigh.

 

Daimler and Chrysler merger.

 

I haven't seen a sterling in years.

 

IIRC, the Sterling almost made Ford's Merkur lineup seem like a sales success.
