“Life is full of impermanence of life”, that applies not only to life, the same also applies to the automobile market. Yesterday also lively, lying on the coffin of a few can be the case today. Today we have got eight of the most representative models, their golden spoon in his mouth brand and market given birth, creating countless brilliant, but ultimately died suddenly died. Their deeds, we can bring the world some of the wake-up call?
do not know if you remember, then simply called the hottest car on the market in 2010 when the Cruze, not one. Masculine appearance and movement, almost all young people want to buy.
At the time the joint venture vehicle, the Sagitar, Corolla looks insipid, competing products models in the Civic and ownership of Japanese, while these three cars are also expensive, which Sagitar manually lowest with 132,800, Carola manual minimum with 134,800, and even the cheapest have to manually Civic 129,800, while the Cruze but as little as 108,900. Stylish, affordable prices, plus the identity of the American brand, Cruze sales projections moment, for several years sold in more than 200,000!
Unfortunately, the first generation after the 2014 Cruze sales have plummeted, was said to be like the Cruze Cruze after updating, and not masculine, while the second generation of Cruze In addition to varying the appearance of the mother, the size is also small. Eventually had to sell out only from the original car to increase to mention a substantial discount. And also later dropped to only a few thousand vehicles from the original 20,000 units per month from sales.
Although the general come to understand, by shrinking the re-updating portion back up. But intense competition from other models, this step back another step of the operation did not even like standing still, so still failed to save Cruze sales decline.
In addition to the Cruze, when God car sales as the Sonata also seek death edge repeatedly ventured. As a former “Sambo,” the lead car, modern even directly to the ninth generation Sonata given a 16.98-24.98 million for guidance and preferential is not high. The price of a direct rip off consumers, thereThis money can even buy low with the Accord, which also shows that the biggest reason for selecting Sonata – cost no more.
A decade ago, South Korean car design or withstand the scrutiny of consumers. But today, both exterior, interior or configuration, Korean cars are no longer the same as the year rolled opponents exist, plus the pricing strategy has been unable to cast aside, and this is simply to his own life ah! It is reported that the tenth generation Sonata in April next year in the domestic market, Hyundai could rely on this car to turn over, to see the price there is no sincerity!
As a firm foothold in the country to make Buick’s first car, the Excelle listed from 2003-2016 during which time shutdown it sold a total of 2.68 million! This is called the astronomical sales figures of that era is definitely a God. So why this car stop production car it God? Mainly we have to start dating back from 2012, when, with SAIC GM’s Chevrolet Cruze sales in the doldrums, in order to avoid cannibalism, common only reluctantly part, the old Excelle discontinued.
2018, Excelle experienced a shutdown, after plastic surgery, formally announced rebirth, a lot of quality accreditation old Excelle old owners and even the secondary consumer. Excelle can return to the product itself, it seems like a prison laborers into being, he was released from prison after 10 years of holding a Nokia N73, but found that the outside world is a micro-channel pay. That was rejected by the world’s sense of distance, perhaps it is now only a month to sell hundreds of the biggest reasons for it.
In 2004, a hackberry “Colorful Days” singing the song of victory into the Vios abroad. That same year came to China Excelle station and entry models of Toyota, Toyota ever since in 2008 it put on sleek appearance, it is more and more getting along well. Even single-digit sales in September 2013 …… Even after this situation has improved again face transplant in 2014, but still not the glory days.
Recently, Toyota releasedA small car architecture called TNGA-B, and therefore is likely to be the next generation Vios product TNGA architecture. In this DNA optimization, Vios might once again become a novice drivers are most worth buying a small entry vehicle.
four Volkswagen Polo is in the earliest launch of Polo, in addition to selling this car is simply nothing wrong with a little expensive, after all, the public at the time to represent the absolute reliability and durability of German quality. In addition, the beautiful colors that make it even have a “mistress car” reputation. But with the recent Volkswagen brand’s own product line, as well as other brands of external pressure, coupled with the Polo’s own prices have been high, in the sense of nature is no longer marketable.
In addition, the space of the old section Polo has always been despised consumers, so while this year the new generation Polo, Volkswagen introduced a clever larger size Plus version, the shaft from an increase of 94mm than the old models. However, larger size in exchange for a more expensive price, the official guide price of the new Polo Plus has reached 9.99-12.39 million, or starting price of more than 20,000 full expensive than the old! Look seek death Polo eye on the road farther and farther up the side of the Fit silent heart probably already delighted.
above said this a few cars, mostly because the new generation to change their own dead. As ambassador modified auto parts, domestic EVO Southeast V3 Ling Yue is not the case, it is by no means died replacement!
In fact, this car also came under scrutiny at the beginning of the birth, because the engine has a high-quality technology from Mitsubishi and five-link rear suspension, this car by year many young people want to play car but lack of money sought after, in December 2011 to break even sales of over a million! But now it is so dismal sales, in August sold only 16 units, presumably also in the face of market changes “do not think of change ’cause it ……

in 2005 Fox has just introduced domestic, They were young consumers. As the US Department of small steel gun, you remember when its popularity and golf can keep pace. But why now come to such a field?
This is mainly attributed to Ford that Taiwan had “infamous” six-speed dual-clutch gearbox. In April 2012, after updating the new Fox officially listed, Yen higher value of the new Fox, the interior is also more technological sense, but also to spend a very adapt to the trend called “high tech” at that time Powershift 6 speed dual-clutch gearbox. However, Fox’s decline is precisely from this double-clutch began. Compared to the same period of this Ford Volkswagen DSG gearbox does not shift at any speed advantage, but the quality is worse than the DSG, the owner did not take long to start the first batch of quality problems exposed, although Ford announced the recall late, and change after the traditional exchange models 6AT gearbox, but word of mouth it is difficult to restore once the crash.
The time came in November 2018, Fox once again updating, a new generation of models Yan is still good value, fun to drive as good, but also to spend a very good 8AT transmission box, however, Ford again “seek death” to the new Focus equipped with a full-line three-cylinder engine, you know, the current domestic market for resentment three-cylinder is very strong, the new Fox once again have no doubt cold.
As a French cars, with some cost-effective Citroen C4L I remember when there have been glorious history on sales of 8,000 units, the source the 1.6T engine from BMW with the excellent performance was also once used as a selling point, even at that time also pulled a lot of other brands flagship sports car to run a straight line acceleration.
Unfortunately, because of the brand recognition, C4L after all, did not embark on mainstream, high failure rate brand law, the issue of increasing the rate will make it even more potential users of hope and retreat. In fact, not only is C4L, including the overall French cars, including, for the Chinese market are a bit agitated. The collapse of the reputation of French cars if they wanted to impress the Chinese market once again, is really not so easy ……
With the rise of independent brands, a growing number of classic cars gradually decline. It seems that, if recognized by the market, pay close attention to consumer needs is fundamental. Graduates, you also know which models linger? You may wish to share a wave in the comments.
