Brilliant Flops.

[Ace of Pop]

So,we had the Sinclair C5,Rover Jet Car ,the Rotary Engine,Toyota Prius,a few dismal Honda's and now the Tesler,Can You add a few more "good" ideas that will never or never have worked out.?.

[kartman]

Rotary has some plus points

[xen]

It is a bit early to actually declare the Tesler a flop yet .

[Ace of Pop]

Ive enjoyed the Rotary road NSU and Mazda very much,but the public didnt care for them .How the hell can you use a Tesler in say Alaska or Norway in the Winter months,You need a bucket of Kilowatts to warm it up.Seems these Battery Rides are restricted to warm climes. Just my thoughts,lets here more verdicts . .

HVAC uses far less electric power than driving does - so not that big of a challenge.

Norway actually leads the word for EV sales: http://www.forbes.com/sites/niallmccarthy/2015/07/23/norway-leads-the-worlds-market-for-electric-vehicles-infographic/

That's a Tax incentive difficult to fail.Stll no firm argument so far why the US are using tax payers money to fund it..

[Crossy]

Who are Tesler and what are they making?

I assume he means this.

Tesla Model S in Thailand

[SoiBiker]

Toyota have sold millions of Priuses (prii?)

This thread is a pretty spectacular flop.

[Pomthai]

The infamous Austin Allegro, affectionately called the "All Agro"..

Indeed, needs a piano dropped on it at the very least.

[SoiBiker]

I like the Allegro. It had its flaws, but at least it wasn't boring.

Yamaha Tricity

[Ace of Pop]

Tricity has no Tricity ,strange choice of name there. Gets good reviews though.

[IMHO]

For biggest flops in recent history, and Thai related, the Chev TH passenger car range is a good place to start

Indeed, good reviews, rubbish sales. Brilliant flop. Fits the category perfectly.

They sure do want to charge a premium for that extra wheel

No wonder no-one buys it

[Ace of Pop]

Perhaps they noted if you put a Tin Roof and a few Chairs in a 650 Bht Truck it fetches 1.7 Mill here.

There's no flies on you IHMO!

[Jitar]

Don't start with a S if you want a hit.

[Ace of Pop]

My English isnt good to work this S thing out. Sunbeam wasnt a flop or most on the list.

[giddyup]

I don't think any of those S cars are produced any more.

[Ace of Pop]

Thank You IMHO. Ive just asked my Norway Chum whats the best selling Motor over there. His Reply, "Evinrude or Yamaha at a guess". Time for an early Leo i guess... .He can Drive today.

[SoiBiker]

No cars are currently being made under the Saab name.

Saab...?

Most names have been bought out or removed from manufacturers lists.

I thought Plymouth was a great name but.......

Saab went bankrupt in 2011, don't know if another car bearing the Saab name has been produced since.

[Alration]

The infamous Austin Allegro, affectionately called the "All Agro"..

But certainly not a flop.

Pontiac was the best name ever dropped by Yanks imo. An Icon

They made a small number of cars in 2013 whilst gearing up to become a producer of electric vehicles under Chinese ownership, but that initiative seems to have stalled.

Ace, Flops can be difficult to define or agree on. If the company has gone bankrupt or died from low sales, i suppose it's a flop.
