2. Subaru XT: Origami Styling Meets Cockpit Controls
The Subaru XT, introduced in 1985, was a two-door coupé that aimed to blend futuristic design with advanced technology. Its distinctive wedge shape and aviation-inspired cockpit, featuring a digital dashboard and a steering wheel adorned with numerous buttons, were intended to set it apart in the market. However, these features often overwhelmed drivers, leading to confusion and a steep learning curve. Despite its innovative approach, the XT’s complex controls and unconventional design failed to resonate with a broad audience, resulting in limited sales and a niche following. (en.wikipedia.org)
