    How did they get worse? They are actually doing well in multiple countries, and have pretty good cars. What's your proof then?

    What? : |
    On topic:
    Peugeot got worse
    In their starts they make fantastic 2 door cars and sedans, one of the examples is the famous 205 T16 ;)
    But nowdays Peugeot only makes SUVS, and they don't look very amazing

    They just switched from making cars to people who buy them once they depreciate, to making cars for people who buy them new.

    I miss Saab a lot. Seeing it go down was very bad. It's modern cars are those that douche rich kids would use, and I just hate that type of person. Resuming, Saab lost it's way back in 2010 already.

    The reason for that is one: GM
    9-3 and 9-5 were just Opels with different body panels, lights and interior.

    Nissan Micra 2006 interior to a Vauxhall Astra from 2006, also the exterior of the Nissan Micra looks like a Ford Ka, should I say more?

    When ever I see a Saab I just get excited, you do not see many here in my part of the UK

    I actually hate the looks of that gen Vauxhall Astra (particularly the coupe) and that gen Micra, along with the most recent generation. I almost throw up when I see a new Micra.

    I think Saturn went downhill pretty quick. Shoot, I don't think they went that far uphill either.

    Let's be honest, Suzuki hasn't been that great.

    Mitsubishi. From AWD road-rally cars (with the m i s f i r i n g s y s t e m) to nothing but crossovers.

    Mitsubishi totally got worse. Now they only make those hatchbacks and crossovers. No more Lancer versions, and no more awesome rally cars. ;(

    Plus, they had the audacity to name an crossover after one of Mitsubishi's most popular sports car.

    To be fair, crossovers are the new coupes and pony cars. You take a normal car's mechanicals, and make it seem more like a lifestyle vehicle.

    Celicas, Thunderbirds, Mustangs, Capris, "Panzer" SLs... - they were to the 60s, 70s and 80s what the crossover is to today.

    Well, using the legacy (or popularity in some cases) isn't always gonna work. For example, the 2000s era Thunderbird failed to stay alive, even if it used the original car's legacy.
