Utterly forgettable, the Zephyr went on sale in 2006 aimed at young luxury buyers as a replacement to the rear-wheel drive LS.
Generally uninspiring, the 3.5-liter version equipped with all-wheel drive can be had for cheap. That’s probably because sales turned out to be a bigger flop than Stephen Feck’s failed dive at the London Olympics.
Further ensuring the Zephyr won’t be remembered, Lincoln then made the switch away from proper names, changing the car to the MKZ. As a result the Zephyr was sold only for the 2006 model year
Produced from 2008 until last year, the Borrego was a three-row SUV from Kia penned by former Audi design chief Peter Schreyer.
Unfortunately for Kia, nobody wanted to drop $40,000 on a bargain bin bruiser when the same cash could buy a Toyota 4Runner or Jeep Grand Cherokee. Gas prices and the 2008 economy couldn’t have helped either.
This is what happens when someone lets a PT Cruiser and a Dodge Durango flirt after too many cocktails. But ugly cars scan sell from time to time, so what bested this beast?
At the time, Chrysler was still crying and shoveling back Ben and Jerry’s after being dumped by Daimler. Unsurprisingly, the company’s work suffered and the Aspen was one of the casualties.
Known today for its curvaceous cars, Infiniti’s name hinges on having luxury that looks different than the rest. Unfortunately for the M45, a renamed version of the Japanese Nissan Gloria, the car looked more like Snoopy from Peanuts than a stylish luxury car.
Only offered as a 2003 and 2004 model, Infiniti doubled back to the drawing board to draft something more in line with the brand’s look. One of the few on the list we’ll actually miss, it’s hard not to have a soft spot for a rear-drive 340-hp V8 luxury sedan.
With lineage confusing like a hillbilly family tree, the Suzuki Forenza has had several names across its history in the world market.
As fallout from Korean automaker Daewoo’s failed stab at selling cars in America, Suzuki tried palming it off with the Forenza name. Sales started in 2004 and ended in 08, replaced by the SX4.
