The Cadillac Cimarron
In 1982, the entry-level luxury car Cadillac Cimarron was introduced to the world. It was intended to compete with other compact sedans from European car makers. However, from the start, the Cimarron was a disaster. All GM wanted was to move Cadillac to a smaller market, not end the brand forever. Obviously, the brand still exists today, but the fact remains that GM nearly cut the cord on Cadillac in the ’80s because of the Cimarron. There have been few cars in history which were so bad that they became a threat to their brands’ existence. Thankfully, the unthinkable didn’t happen.

The Wateran Arrowbile
This is one vehicle that should have just stayed a prototype. The Wateran Arrowbile was a small two-seat, a single-engine vehicle built as an aircraft without a tail. It was also capable of being a highway vehicle (so it’s included in this list). Luckily for everybody involved, the public simply didn’t care. Only five Arrowbiles were ever made, and the vehicle was a huge failure. It was the first of its kind, but it, unfortunately, didn’t prove the concept. There are some things that are just ahead of their time, and we’re still waiting for the day when this idea will sound good.
