Car manufacturers with the most uninteresting "heritage"
Discussion
I walk past a Volvo dealership near Great Portland street most days and there is a small Volvo dealership on the corner.
I never fail to notice their attempts at showing the Volvo heritage by displaying pictures of some of their past cars, unfortunately it has the opposite effect on me as they mostly look atrocious.
There are the few exceptions, such as the lovely P1800 but on the whole...not inspired.
What other manufacturers can you think of? (...no doubt leading to the inevitable most desirable heritage thread spinoff).

Volvo are involved in plenty of motorsport in Scandinavia and have been for decades.
How about Maserati, there was a period about sixty years ago that everyone gets misty-eyed about. Since then I can only think of the MC Hammer and a one-make millionaire's cup.
I still don't see how that significantly affected their retail product though, that's a case of "we learn from motorsport but produced dull looking dross for far too long".How about Maserati, there was a period about sixty years ago that everyone gets misty-eyed about.

Uninteresting heritage is bad, but uninteresting current range is even worse. What car companies have a boring range at present? Honda is a good example, but not a unique one unfortunately. You can have fwd or fwd based awd. Wow, that's passion right there. At least Hyundai and Kia are working on rwd.
