We’ve had some pretty bad cars foisted on us in the past. We’ve also had some pretty awful marketing failures.<\/p>\n
We’ve listed our top five here:-<\/p>\n
THE LEYLAND P76<\/p>\n
It’s aim was to knock Holden, Ford and Chrysler off their big car perches – and it failed miserably<\/p>\n
THE DATSUN 120Y<\/p>\n
Boring! Yet is sold over 2 million worldwide. Why?<\/p>\n
THE MORRIS MARINA<\/p>\n
Another Leyland disaster trying to play catchup.<\/p>\n
AU FALCON<\/p>\n
How a styling studio and the research dept. got it so wrong, and Ford never recovered.<\/p>\n
MITSIBISHI 380<\/p>\n
The car that was to save Mitsubishi local manufacturing and pay back Government grants. It didn’t.<\/p>\n
