13 Great Cars Nobody Bought in 2016

Volkswagen Golf R

It may be the execution rendition of Europe’s most renowned bring forth, yet that didn’t persuade Americans the Golf R was a decent purchase. In spite of its great looks, 292-pull turbocharged motor, and all-wheel-drive framework, VW moved just around 4500 Golf Rs in the time of 2016. Contrast that with the maturing WRX and STi, which sold very nearly ten circumstances that number.

Mazda MX-5 Miata

There’s no contending the Miata is an awesome auto. Its mix of light weight, incredible taking care of, and open-best happiness make for what some consider the ideal vehicle. In any case, its specialty spot in the market implies it offers in little numbers. 2016 was no special case.

BMW 3-Series

Astounded to see this auto on the rundown? So are we, yet the numbers don’t lie. The 3-Series is an extraordinary driving German games vehicle for individuals who need a measurements of fun and ordinary driveability in their lives. In any case, BMW sold just about 30-percent less 3-Series autos this year than last. It appears individuals are going somewhere else for their lively day by day drivers.

Alfa Romeo 4C

The Alfa Romeo 4C is successfully a mid-motor Italian outlandish for about a fourth of the cost. It has an uproarious motor, a double grasp transmission, and even a carbon-fiber frame, with the hopes to coordinate. Be that as it may, similar to any Italian colorful, it remained imperfect. Individuals don’t care for their new costly games autos to have imperfections, conceivably why Alfa just sold 457 units a year ago.

Ford Fiesta

The Fiesta is Europe’s most well known offering auto this year. Be that as it may, in America, deals simply continue falling. Indeed, Ford sold around 49,000 Fiestas a year ago, yet contrasting that with a years ago quantities of more than 60,000, that is over a fourth of offers going down the deplete. Little autos and Americans simply don’t blend.

BMW i3

Individuals frequently expel the i3 as an exhausting, terrible passenger auto made by BMW as an endeavor to flaunt its most recent tech. While some of that might be valid, its electric powertrain and back wheel-drive format makes it a delight to drive around town. That didn’t persuade purchasers however, as just around 7600 i3s made it onto the roads in 2016.

Porsche Boxster & Cayman

Porsche may be known for its back motor showstoppers, however its mid-motor offerings—as the Cayman and Boxster—simply continue improving. That is the reason we’re befuddled to as why Porsche offers so little of its entrance level games autos. In spite of their less expensive value focuses (and ostensibly more charming drive), both cars joined offer in a great deal less numbers than their 911 kin.

Chevrolet SS

We here at Road and Track can continue endlessly about the significance that is the Chevy SS. What’s not to adore about a back wheel-drive V8-controlled six-speed vehicle with attractive ride control? All things considered, purchasers found a way, since it sold in miniscule numbers in 2016, practically unaltered from a year ago.

Mini Cooper

Because of constantly expanding security and effect directions, MINIs aren’t as little as they used to be. They’re still amusing to drive however, which is the reason we think that its weird deals continue diving. The most exceedingly awful guilty party is the 2-entryway hardtop, which had a business number drop of just about 50-percent year over year.

Nissan GT-R

There’s no concealing the reality the Nissan GT-R is maturing. It’s been around since 2007, and regardless of force increments and styling changes, it’s remained generally the same. With the assistance of a rising MSRP quite a long time, purchasers are paying heed. Nissan sold only 698 units in 2016.

Dodge Viper

In the event that you haven’t officially listened, Dodge is completion Viper creation in 2017. Regardless of it’s mean looks and flawless execution capacities, relatively few individuals appear to need to possess a V10, manual-just American games auto. Avoid moved only 630 Vipers a year ago.

Toyota 86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ

The Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ is the ideal bundle for the devotee searching for a moderate, fun sports auto. Its back wheel-drive, has a manual transmission, and even has great looks. Regardless of all that, it sold more awful than we had trusted in 2016.

Alfa Romeo Giulia

The Alfa Romeo Giulia is Alfa’s latest endeavor at a back wheel-drive medium size extravagance car. Without precedent for more than 20 years, it’s being sold in the U.S. Alfa moved only 36 Giulias in 2016, yet since it didn’t go discounted until late in the year, we can’t blame them excessively. We’ll see what 2017 brings to the table.
