2. Geo Storm

GM was so determined to break into the import market during the ’90s that they thought the Storm was the best route to take. The car was a sheer clone of the Isuzu Impulse in every sense of the term. What made things even worse was the fact that there was no difference other than the badging on each vehicle. In terms of performance, the Storm wasn’t anything that was much more fun to drive.

The Geo Storm lasted longer than the Impulse, but buyers who were looking for cheap fun were disappointed. The car had the potential to be a fun little bargain-basement sports car. But instead, GM went the cheap route and just chose to rebadge an existing model.

1. Subaru SVX

When you think about impressive feats, the Subaru brand has come a long way. The company has a lot of longevity, and the Impreza is one of the most popular cars around. But there was a time when the brand had another sports car on the market. The Subaru SVX was an odd-looking sports car that utilized the same turbocharged engine you’d find in the Impreza.

There were a lot of benefits that made the SVX a great sports car. But other elements of the design just made it fall short. The car could have been a real success for the Subaru brand. But when you think about it, the car fell short. The awkwardly-designed SVX will go down in history for having a rather unique design that’s hard to forget.
