"The Suzuki Jimny (aka Samurai) Story Its easy to dismiss the Suzuki Jimny as a toy car driven by people who want a fashion accessory rather than a serious off roader. But the car is far more than that. Since its [----] launch the Jimny has used a proper 4x4 chassis that means its not just some passenger car pretending to be an off roader Its been higher than any other car in the world a record it holds to this very day. As they say its not the size but how you use it. Theres been controversy as well; it was the centre of a lawsuit over this high-sided car tipping over through bends. But its"

And were both fans of caravans and their ability to pack so much into such a small space.

"The Swatchmobile" ABANDONED by its creators. The Smart Fortwo Story If a car is wildly successful its a recipe for printing money. If its an abject failure the manufacturer licks their wounds and moves on. Whats maybe worse is when a car just does OK especially when this car kicks off a whole new brand. Should you invest in a second-generation car or more models or give up Will sales improve What if they dont What to do with all those new dealerships When the Smart Fortwo launched as the Smart City Coup neither of its parents were sure they should have birthed it and thats never a good start."

A brilliant CEO can take it to great heights while a poor one can destroy it. Over more than a century of making cars Citron has had both types of leader sometimes in the same person.

A [--] [----] white rusting 1.8L TC saloon that my dad bought me so I could learn how to repair cars.

Cars already had enough power for public roads where you spent most of your time anyway. It wasnt about miles per gallon but smiles per gallon So where did the vision for the"

"Never sold in the USA Why The Cadillac BLS Story If youre from the US you might be saying what was the Cadillac BLS I dont remember that And youd be right the BLS has the distinction as being the only Cadillac that was never sold in the US well until very recently but more of that at the end. This is a story of General Motors attempt to turn around a brand that had lost its way. The BLS though is a good example of all that GM was doing wrong in the mid-2000s and it was part of its downfall. If you'd like to support what I do please consider supporting me below: PayPal:"

A brilliant CEO can take it to great heights while a poor one can destroy it. Over more than a century of making cars Citron has had both types of leader sometimes in the same person. Theyve survived Nazi occupation bankruptcy twice but the Citron name has endured. It even spawned a spin-off brand DS named after one of Citrons most innovative cars.

"Figaro Magnifico The Nissan Figaro Story After decades of progress and at a time Nissan were going to make their next step forward with the luxury Infiniti brand Nissans Figaro was in a sense a next evolution in car design in progress but at the same time it was an exercise in looking back of taking stock of just how far Nissan had come. It was also a conscious effort by its designers to push against progress with something more gentle and organic. But the Figaro didnt come out of a vacuum. It was the culmination of several years of new design thinking. So how popular was the organic Figaro"

There was the Renault Scnic the original MPV that showed you can pack a large family into not a lot of car. Then there was the Mercedes A class a masterclass in space management with a cleverly packaged engine that allowed for the maximum interior space.

"Mercedes' pickup failure - the X-Class story Mercedes is the purveyor of high-class limousines so it might be odd to think of them selling a go-anywhere pickup thats more used to lugging a few bags of cement back from the DIY shop. But its not that strange an idea after all theyve been producing vans trucks and buses for almost a century. But the Mercedes X-Class wasnt going to be sold alongside their commercial vehicles this was for the type of customer who bought their luxury cars. Just why did Mercedes decide to make a pickup and why did it last less than three years before being axed"
