Fisker Karma. Tesla if taxpayer money wasn't thrown at them. Scion wasn't really a flop, it was an experimental brand for Toyota to study young people.

Still Tesla. They haven't been making a single dollar yet.

They didn't even try, it exists just to lower its corporate fuel economy ratings.

Can you really consider it a flop, if it was made with that intention, where there was no doubt it won't sell?

Anything American being sold in Europe.

When you drive quality all your live, nobody wants to then buy a piece of shit.

The car wasn't quite designed for high production numbers. But I expect Chevy to introduce an Impala SS when Holden shuts down.

It'll flop because it's too expensive for people looking for a bargain, and too mild for those that can afford one. There's not really anything special about it, there's lots of cars that do the same thing only better, and there's lots of faster cars that cost less. The fact that it doesn't remind nostalgia flags of the original NSX has little to do with it, though they're probably the only ones actually excited or even interested in it. No matter how many movies Acura pays to have Tony Stark drive one in, it'll flop.

Elon said at the last earnings call they're making 30% on the sale of the model S. They're just going from like 5000 employees to 10000 and going from 50,000 cars a year to 500,000

Looks like a Commodore to me.

Where's the cuck? It's a sedan with enough horsepower and torque to pull a house down.
