7: Infiniti G20 Second Generation
The second generation of the Infiniti G20 was released in 1999 after a hiatus. The car was redesigned but still appeared similar to the previous model. The styling was meant to be more sedate and was in line with the Infiniti design language at the time. The only engine choice was still a four-cylinder engine, and there were better options on the market (via Car Gurus).

For all intents and purposes, the Infiniti G20 was a lackluster effort by Infiniti to sell a compact sport sedan. Consumers were more interested with competing models than anything Infiniti had to offer. The competition for a compact sedan was raging at the time. Infiniti would have success later on with the G35 sedan and coupe.
