Flopped vehicles in the Philippines

[boybi]

I don't think the Stanza was a flop. Dami ko nakikita sa daan dati.
Naging prize pa yan ng isang major brand ( I think Nestle?) sa promo nila.

For me the one that takes the cake in recent years is the Fuzion - underpowered, butt-ugly, trying hard innova wanna be.

Nissan Datsun???

Datsun is the old name of Nissan...

The name change was a big mistake.

Refocusing Your Brand? Proceed with Caution

In 1980, Datsun (owned by Nissan) was a substantial player in the U.S. (and world) automobile market -- neck and neck in the U.S. with Toyota, and well ahead of Honda. Nissan decided to change the Datsun brand to Nissan. Four years and about 300 million dollars later, Nissan had fallen behind Toyota in brand share and was struggling to stay ahead of Honda. Remarkably, as late as 1988, a consumer survey indicated that the Datsun name was still as well known and highly regarded as the Nissan name, although it had not been used for five years...

oops i forgot to mention - Hyundai Grand Starex Limousine and the Toyota Alphard- parang malapit na ring maging flops.

[Starex_Gold]

Yung Gray Market na Grand Starex Limousine palaging may bumibili.. Pero yung HARI version FLOP! Same price less features. FAIL

Sa Makati naman dumadami na ang Alphard. Mga 2 na nakikita ko. Dati isa lang.

Ahahahaha :hysterical: Sawang sawa na ako dun sa Pearl White eh, buti sa Makati Ave. may nakasabay akong Black Mica

The Toyota Yaris can be considered a flop. The Toyota Camry sold more considering the Yaris is the cheapest in the Toyota line-up.

I doubt the Toyota Alphard will be a flop. It will be one of the choice vans for the more richer families who can afford it. Driving or just riding it, either way it is a great vehicle for a van.

How about the nissan patrol royale? prohibitive price - almost equal to land rovers and other premium suvs

[harold13]

how about lexus cars?

[uls]

i would consider a car flop pag talo siya sa competitor niya

example:

talo ang Yaris sa Jazz

talo RAV4 sa CRV

Suzuki SX4 talo sa... lahat ng ka-class niya

[uls]

how about lexus cars?

may market ang lexus dito

can't expect them to sell like Toyotas but they're not doing bad

[agp]

May bumili na ba nung Mahindra Pik Up galing India? Sa Theater Mall pa sila naka-display dati.

Nakakita ko nito sa may bandang Las Pinas dalawang units pa nasa garahe ng bahay.

Err...how about FERRARI and MASERATI?

I believe their dealership in Ortigas folded up in less than a year after it opened. Simply too expensive at the "entry level" price of about Php 14Million ++

Also, the RAV4 clone, Cherry Tiggo (tried to sell based on its RAV4 looks alone).

The Nissan Murano (kasi hindi siya "mura", lol)

The Jeep Commander and Wrangler from Chrysler distributor CATS (very rarely see these on the road).

Almost all Opels (Astra, Omega, Vectra).

Someone mentioned the 2010 Nissan Sentra (for a little more, you can get a Camry or an Accord)

Is it fair to call the Toyota PRIUS a flop?

[[archie]]

i dont think maserati has failed here. its an exotic car that will only sell to the elite. its still being sold by formula sports (jaguar) at buendia.

for me, daewoo talaga flopped.

PGA Cars (Audi, Porsche) is doing quite well in the luxury market

so are BMWs

yup flop yung Murano

[Mguy]

How about those Tata pickups sold beside the Proton dealership. I never seen one on the road.

[ronw123w124]

the Toyota Alphard- parang malapit na ring maging flops.

Hindi flop ang Alphard, pahirapan nga kumuha ng units ngayon e.

[ronw123w124]

Narinig ko lang na pinaguusapan dito sa office kanina na wala na daw yung Chery cars.
