New Model worse than old.! why is that.?

[ruff'n'smov]

I have had the misfortune of loaning a new '12 plate Honda Accord 2.o v-tec. Its an auto which doesn't help, but it os dire absofookinglutley shocking.
Slow on pick up, vague handling, no response from the steering. etc etc.
I used to have an old 2.0 Accord 2000 model and loved it smooth ,responsive a good saloon.

So it got me thinking what new models have replaced a car and to all intents and purposes are worse than the car it replaced.

My nomination this.

In terms of looks, BMW go from bad to worse each year.

All good calls.

Peugeot seem to have done it across their entire product range.....405 to 406 106 to 107 306 to 307......and so on

Umm, yep - maybe I'm being a spazz, but I thought that was the intent of the thread - i.e. newer itinerations of older models that were worse, no?

Like as you say, 206 drives worse than 205?

Or did I miss something?

Goes back to the good old days of the Allegro replacing the Issigonis 11001300 and the Ambasador/Princess replacing the Issigonis 1800/2200.

BLMC bksed every one up.

Unbelievable how bad the "replacements" were. Dire rust boxes.

Corporate suicide at its Zenith.

They succeeded in the end.

Despite successive attempts by successive politicians. Or perhaps because of them.

Vauxhall is lining up now.
