Flop like a floppy rubber glove!


Some cars are so brilliant in every way they sell like hot cakes. Some cars are pretty average and still sell like hot cakes and some cars are truly awful (Peugeot 309!) but still manage to sell like hot cakes.
However some cars fail to see the road beyond the showrooms. Their numbers fail to break into double figures, and the only people who know about them are those who happen to live opposite the showroom.
Lets try to scratch our balding heads and see if we can come up with a list of cars that flopped so badly that nobody remembers them. Pure Basti!
Any cars I mention I will put up in the village gallery, and if you manage to find a pic of your nomination feel free to include it in the gallery. Please post it with flop in () like this: (flop) on the image title.

I dont understand the point of having a 4 wheel drive on 850cc micro car. Subaru must have been thinking of something big when they launched the re-badged Daihatsu Cuore with 4 wheel drive and called it the Subaru Vivio (pic in gallery). The Vivio failed to impress anyone and buyers must have been put off the expensive price tag with costly servicing and parts.

The FSO Polonez (shown on journal Pic) had all the poise and elegance of a Portaloo. What's more, its creators rather missed the point of creating a practical hatchback by failing to give the Polonez rear seats that folded. The floorpan and mechanicals remained those of the Fiat 125P, so the Polonez delivered the same tardy, raucous and understeer-ridden driving experience.
