32: Ford Thunderbird
For the longest time, the Thunderbird was the cornerstone of the Ford passenger car lineup. The swooping lines and the performance-oriented engine made it a blast to drive. The final generation, however, grew boring and bloated in size. The unimaginative design just didn’t resonate very well with consumers and thus the death knell was rung. When Ford went to reintroduce the model in 2003, the design was retro-themed but that was about it.

Performance was nothing more than a rebadged Lincoln LS, which itself had quite a bit of issues. Reliability and a high price tag sent many shoppers flocking to other showrooms. Not to mention the convertible top was limiting and the lack of passenger seating further narrowed the marketplace.
