2: Mazda Tribute

Speaking of the Tribute, the compact Mazda was based on the Ford Escape and shared a lot of styling with the Mercury Mountaineer. This time around, Mazda did some engineering and the Mazda Tribute had a separate suspension from the Escape.

The Tribute managed to sell quite well until Mazda decided to shift its focus toward crossover SUV models. The Tribute is perhaps one of the best and most forgotten SUV models. The final versions of the SUV toward the end of 2010 were extremely well-made.

1: Suzuki X-90

We’re not sure what Suzuki was thinking with the release of the X-90. The two-door SUV was more like a car than anything, there was no trunk space, and it wasn’t solid off-road. Coming from the same carmaker that brought us the Samurai, this car was a bit of a shock.

The X-90 was one of the poorest-selling Suzukis on the market but today has become collectible. There are few X-90 models that are still on the road and you’ll seldom find one for sale anymore. The X-90 was a cool concept but a failed attempt at capturing a market segment that didn’t exist.
