Revealed: These five famous flops are the worst-selling cars ever made - Daily Mail
When an auto manufacturer launches a new car into the world, developers hope it will make a big splash with consumers. The Ford Focus, for instance, is the best-selling car in the world. Others are shoddily made and suffer from crippling recalls and poor reliability. The Yugoslavian Yugo GV is reviled by car critics as the most heinous vehicle ever to hit American roadways. These are the five least-popular cars ever mass-produced for the American market. Cadillac introduced the Catera in 1996 as 'The Caddy that Zigs. It was set to be a less-expensive, better-handling Cadillac than its older brothers the Seville and DeVille. The Catera premiered with a truly baffling 1997 commercial featuring model Cindy Crawford talking to a cartoon bird that was a wizard. But, the ad campaign notwithstanding, the car did modestly well for the first few years. However, its reputation soon preceded it. Numerous recalls and poor reliability began to plague the Catera. Car and Driver later wrote that the high praise the car received was not justified. Source: www.dailymail.co.uk
