The forgotten cars: Nissan Maxima, Mitsubushi 380, Renault Megane, Volkswagen Touareg, Hyundai Elantra
Some cars defy logic. On the surface they have all the credentials for sales success - a sharp price, loads of equipment and a well-known and respected name behind them.
But somehow, despite all the positives, a car misses the target with the most important market - prospective customers.
These are the cars that give marketing executives ulcers. In marketing speak, they fail to get "traction".
Translation: not many people buy them.
This week we look at the cars buyers forgot, the automotive equivalents of box-office flops.
The good news for buyers is if you're prepared to go the route less travelled, you may pick up a competent vehicle at a bargain price.
