[@chrislemaster2695]

The Yugo was in-between a normal car and a bus pass. It was said that the bus pass was a better value and more reliable. Two Men and Yugo got arrested in Oakland CA followed by a push by shooting.

[@farmalmta]

I got one for you: The Yugo could not have a radio because the communist authorities didn't people listening to Voice of America. So the designers commune with the Spirit of Tito to know what to say when people complain about no radio like cars made in the West have. Tito's Crypt replies, "tell them that they wouldn't be able to hear a radio anyway since their knees will be up around their ears."

[@jlw184]

You could double the price of a Yugo by filling it with gasoline.

[@michaellovely6601]

The Kia Borrego would have been a good candidate for this list because it debuted in the United States during the midst of the economic downturn in the late 00s and early 10s. It looked great and was perfect for the outdoorsy types, but it just wasn't the right time for the Kia Borrego to make its debut. Since Kia is planning on taking a chance at proving themselves in the Luxury SUV market with the Kia Telluride; I can only hope that Kia might consider the idea of bringing the Kia Borrego back to the US.

[@Channel01_T]

The SSR was cool looking. Just WAY too overpriced.

[@chrisonaire]

My uncle has one, one of the coolest cars I've been in. It's an eye catcher for sure in bright yellow.

[@madisonboswell715]

I have a yellow 2004 SSR. It's very exciting to drive and one of the coolest ones around. Only problem is a lot of electrical issues.

[@niklastjarnas]

The VW didn't flop because of marketing it flopped because they were like ''Hey wanna pay top dollar and look like you're driving an ordinary passat?''

[@Halberdin]

Exactly, quite a boring look. Mercedes, Jaguar, Bentley, Porsche could always include design ideas or elements from very famous and distinctive predecessors. For the Phaeton, VW had none (no, an oversized Käfer/Beetle does not suffice 😊) , and they had no new design ideas either.

[@malcolmfood]

It looks boring in pictures, but when you see in live its a different experience. It has presence

[@alexarnold6773]

malcolmfood lol no it doesn't

[@egykilenckilenchet]

certainly has more road presence than a 90s "luxury" cadillac

[@farmalmta]

Cadillac made huge mistakes thanks to bean counters... 1)No interior with seats covered in other than leather or mohair should ever have been installed in a Caddy. Interior color keyed to paint color, not just mousefur grey or mousefur brown. 2)Never an engine with less than 8 cylinders and always a 12 cylinder option on the Fleetwood. 3)All new platforms shaken out by Olds, then to Cadillac for upscaling. Only later back to first Buick, then Pontiac and finally to Chevrolet.

[@dieserspast1255]

I always thought the older A-class from the mid-2000's was kind of a fail.

[@davidnyerges3811]

No,It may look ugly,but it was a very popular (it’s still,but now at least I can understand why) compact car. The reason is that it was something totally new here in Germany and people were interested. Btw the car was practical.

[@68404]

They had the perfect opportunity when they were rebadging Holden Commodores. The ute was perfect for the El Camino badge

[@hakeemsd70m]

@@68404 There was a plan to bring the Holden Ute over as a Pontiac G8 Ute for the 2010 model year, but GM sold out to China and axed Pontiac before the car ever had a chance to reach our shores. Sad.

[@syxepop]

Hector, right now the only SUITABLE platform for a new El Camino Ute would be the Buick Insignia / Regal, which would also translate into a new Commodore Ute for Australia. But since the new PSA-based Opel makes them in Germany it would suffer from US Chicken Tax (25%) ailment unless they use the Malibu version before they axe it. Even though the Regal / Insignia / Malibu / Commodore is FWD-based it'll still work for a "very light duty pickup" as El Camino was in its' heyday and it wouldn't be too small (roughly close to the 2G Honda Ridgeline midsizer). It could still pack engines as large as the 300+ hp NA-3.6L V6, which is plenty for the intended purpose (close in output to the same-sized engine in the 2G Colorado / Canyon, but with a bit less torque.

[@johnterpack3940]

Blame the gov for the death of the El Camino and Ranchero. Being based on cars instead of truck platforms meant they had to comply with all the car CAFE and safety standards instead of the truck standards. While I don't think that would be as big a problem today as it was in the '80s it just wouldn't make economic sense to bring them back now. They couldn't be built any more cheaply than a compact pickup.

[@rondill8429]

The Chev SSR was just priced way too high.. thats why it didn't sell very good. 44K for any car is too damn much!!

[@ScubaSteveM45]

ron dill it was a flop since it tried to be many things while being terrible at each thing it tried to be: it was too weird and small to be a good convertible, it was too exotic to serve as a good pickup truck (also it's a unibody vehicle not BOF) and not peppy and sleek enough to be a credible sports car. That is why it didn't sell, if it was even slightly capable at even one kind of usage they would have sold many more of these. Plus the retro look car kind of came and went with the cars that invoked it like the latest Thunderbird, the PT Cruiser/Chevy HHR (both designed by the same guy) , and the Plymouth Prowler

That SSR is downright awesome. That sleek body is wonderfully retro-futuristic. I could easily see that coming if for a landing in 2015 Hill Valley. I could even see it doing a trench run on the Death Star, as long as you kept the top up.

[@user-qv4rj3fo9b]

Really liked the SSR and if I were among the more economically advantaged I would have bought one. However, I would have preferred a smaller, more fuel-efficient engine.

[@tjsogmc]

I test drove an SSR with the intention of buying it. Hated the way it drove, and it had numerous problems even on a test drive such as clunking brake noises and a hard pull to the right, and even with the performance engine it lacked exitement. I drove it around the block once and back to the dealership. Never looked back.

[@jackmckenna8410]

2003 Ford Thunderbird...a dealer told me $35K at which I laughed in his face and said "good luck with that". Guess I was right.

[@redpiano1]

Jack McKenna Ford pre-planned a short lifespan for the retro T-bird so there was never an expectation that the car would last more than a few years. Today in my market, good condition used ones sell from 25-45k, for a car that's basically a dolled up Crown Vic.

[@Sonnywitdamoney]

My father bought a 2002 in the ‘t-bird turquoise’ color...really a striking color in person. He bought it new in ‘02 and now I have it. It only has 9k miles on it and whenever I drive it, people always comment on it and can’t even figure out what it is. They are not popular at all where I live. Really not a bad car, but basically a Lincoln LS.

[@DavidLemmo]

The SSR had $41000 price tag, yet aimed at millenials. I dont know many in my generation who can afford that. It would take me 5 years to earn that much at my income level, more if I wanted to have that in my bank balance. No wonder it didn't sell.

Thot Slayer, First of all, I don't work in fast food. Second, I make $11 an hour, and but my job doesn't give me more than 20hrs work time a week (15hrs is my average). My take home pay comes to about $150 every week after taxes, except the second week of every month, when I lose another $21 for Union Dues for a Union that allows the company to keep part time workers in poverty. If I could land a better paying job, don't you think I would take it.

[@davescheer5038]

I thought the SSR was always pretty cool it was just way to expensive , that and the Plymouth prowler, the every day person couldn't afford one and if you could you were considered a rich kid ! They come out with cool cars a lot but always do something ether wrong on price or under power it. Like a Miata the car was totally under powered and still is had they put a turbo on it and kept up on the handling at a right price it would still be as great as it was, now to many car manufactures are jumping on board and getting in there market, America needs to get back into the built in the USA type of cars that can show the industry we still have what it takes in design and engineering ,

Nice analysis and presentation! I am a huge fan of the SSR. I'd love to buy a totaled one and restore it, fixing the major deal-breakers like limited horsepower, no regenerative breaking coupled to a hybrid capacitor motor, maybe add some auto-nav sensors, and a manual transmission! I'd also like to do similar for the equally ill-fated Plymouth Prowler. Could you do a video on why the Chevrolet Corvette has replaced the Dodge Viper as the US king of the muscle cars? There are so many reasons easily identifiable if you research the two cars, many of which were similar mistakes you've mentioned in this video. Slainte!

My uncle was one of those baby boomers who bought one. However this is after he literally went nuts, so this should tell you something. In his case, after a fall from a ladder, he changed from a solid, respected schoolteacher to acting like a wild teenager. Very sad, he liquidated savings to buy ‘toys’ including the SSR. And no it was not just midlife crisis - he also cane to believe Katie Couric was sending him special messages....anyhoo, SSR is a Cool looking car, but too overpriced for its target market. A big part of the cost was paying for the top mech./construction which was farmed out to ASC, as are most low-run convertible conversions/ folding hardtops in the auto industry since the late 60’s.j

faceup5 it also used the jag/Lincoln v8 which was quite impressive as a little v8 engine but I don't think I have seen one go over 100000 miles it was very unreliable.

[@johnterpack3940]

I think they targeted the wrong market. There are definitely those who mourn the loss of the original 2-seat T-Bird. But that car only lasted three years out of the fifty year history of the car. If they had brought the T-Bird back as a true performance sedan, something akin to the BMW M-series, I'm confident sales would have been stronger. Instead, they came out with something nobody was looking for, a boulevard cruiser with no room for the family and a 2-seater without the performance you'd expect from a 2-seater. It didn't compete with the 'Vette the way the original T-Bird was meant to and it didn't compete with more agile cars like the S2000 or MX-5. It really needed to be basically a Mustang GT with a functional back seat. That's one thing the American market is missing, a performance sedan.
