This Primera? Not to say that it wasn’t any good, it was just boring and had no redeeming features. A pure white goods vehicle, built for a purpose but lacks in anything interesting.
I think that this is a candidate, unless it could be considered the most uninspiring car.

Anything mentioned sort of defeats the purpose of the thread as you have managed to remember it and it ends up a list of cars that were not popular, not fashionable or are standard targets for derision.

A lot of the stuff we generally laud as being wonderful made less of an impact on "motoring" than a Montego, Maestro, Lanos or Fiat Uno with a boot as not many people bought or drove say an E30 M3, Lotus Carlton or Renault 5 with an engine in the wrong place.

There is motoring, that, like it or not, many normal, non car freak people do and there are car enthusiasts, then there are those that like stuff because they think everyone else does, or they listen too much to Jeremy Clarkson, who I really dont mind but I do want to chin anyone who quotes a 12 year old Top Gear line and tries to pass it off as their own opinion, and on that bombshell..

Isn't the Fluence an electric car?
In the UK it was only sold as an EV but it was conventional elsewhere.
Diesel- we were in Ireland.
