Shame about the two Renault oddities... The Aventime and Vel Satis, two cars I would actually love to own.
My brother looked at getting an Avantime and having owned a Modus checked the price of parts and servicing. Apparently a new headlamp is about £400. He bought an XJ6 instead.Thankyou4calling said:
the jaguar x type
Yeah, i mean, an estate, a saloon, a 4WD, 8 years in production, numerous special editions, and plans for an x-type sucessor in 2014.Oh, and it's the best selling car Jaguar ever made.
Such a terrible car, i'm glad it's life was cut short...
Anyway, here's a proper contender:
Less than 900 sold in 2005 according to Wikiepdia.

Alfa Arna
Edsel
TR7
Although not cars the BMW C1 and Sinclair C5
The Edsel is a tricky one, rather than being one specific model of car, Edsel was a sub-brand made up of four cars that were designed to slot between the Ford and Mercury brands in Ford's line up (Ford, Mercury, Lincoln). The theory being that Ford buyers would aspire to a more expensive model from the Edsel line-up, and Edsel owners would aspire to a Mercury.Edsel
TR7

Edsel's used chassis and running gear from other cars in the Ford range, but it was a marketing disaster and the range of Edsel models was only offered for sale for three years in the late 50s before the range was very publicly killed.

The Croma was the replacement for the Stilo and a good car, there are a few about here (Italy) and I had a hire one which was great. Oh, and it's the best selling car Jaguar ever made.

Vauxhall Signum?
Probably would have made more sense had GM badged it as a Saab.I did think of the of the Vauxhall Sintra, but that was a US car that GM imported to Europe to compete in the growing MPV market until they could develop a real market competitor. As soon as the Zafira was rolling off production lines the Sinta was killed in Europe, but it continued to be sold in the US for several years and was ultimately replaced there with a newer version. (Hmm... Wikipedia suggests low sales and a poor Euro NCAP rating killed the Sinta, the Zafira just happened to debut at the same the Sintra was killed)
