Your sacrificial lamb

[omicron]

I wouldn't be sad to see Peugeot go. I miss the days of the handsome 206 and 406, the riotous 205, or the perky 106  - now all we get are ugly yelling cars with inflated pricetags, and impossibly stupid folding-hardtop mobile handbag CC versions. No thank you.

[SVT32V]

scion, they are of no use.

Agreed.  Peugeot haven't really made anything interesting for a while now.

A four-way tie between Honda, Toyota, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

While all four companies are suffering in the currrent market environment, all are fundementally healthy. Why would you sacrifice companies which can make you profit?

[Galaxy]

Seat.


It's sales have mostly disappeared and it serves no purpose in the VW group.

[sportyaccordy]

I can't even begin to choose. I can't think of any car makers besides Hyundai, BMW, Nissan and Porsche that make anything I would want to actually buy new.

[NomisR]

Kia or Suzuki. 

[Payman]

scion, they are of no use.

Oh yeah, definitely. Unless they make a $20,000 turbo Supra, bye-bye.

[Cookie Monster]

Mitsubishi, for sure.

Who said anything about profits? The question asked which one I'd get rid of if I had complete and utter control of the industry. I'd get rid of BMW, Honda, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota because I hate that they're everybody's favourites.

I love underdogs.

I love underdogs.

That merely means that the underdogs will then become everybody's favorites, and you'll hate those for their popularity as well.

I love Seats!  Kill Skoda.

I know, it's a vicious circle.

Suzuki, Scion, or Mitsubishi.

I would've picked Saturn or Buick, but I can't as per the rules of this game?

[NomisR]

Suzuki, Scion, or Mitsubishi.

At least Mitsubishi has one redeeming car.  I can't think of one for Suzuki or Scion, or Kia

[TBR]

It may not be exciting, but it's a damn good car nonetheless:


Plus I really like the current version of the Grand Vitara:

Well, Suzuki has the Swift overseas. I hear goooood things about it. Scion's a turd, and Kia's mainstream cars are competent.

[NomisR]

Swift

Did Nick steal your account?

VW. I don't like a single car they offer. (US lineup, mind you) And they're too expensive.

You can't kill something that's already dead...unless it's a zombie.

Colt Ralliart!



Grandis!



Evolution X!



Pajero!



Outlander!



Come to think of it, I don't mind Mitsubishi at all.

[rohan]

If I could kill an import then it would be Mitsubishi

Yeah- gotta agree here.  The other one I'ld add to that is VW- it's just so worthless.  The only thing they make I think is even decent is that SUV.  Since they killed the Pheaton or whatever it was called it's just a lame car company.

Clearly, you don't know much.





Hold on, that's just about their whole lineup. There isn't a single car in VW's lineup except the Beetle that's not one of the best in their respective classes. They're expensive, sure, but they definitely aren't worthless.

[the Teuton]

The Passat CC is worthless.  Is it a cutrate CLS or an expensive, less functional Passat?

[rohan]

Clearly, you don't know much.
Ugly- and plain useless.  Those wheels are just ghastly.


A cheap knockoff of the C-class - and it's just not exciting.  Just another boring knockoff car.


Ultimate in ugly- and it's not even slightly cool like the GTi.  Utterly useless.


ick.  Overdone- over style- and wayyyy under-attractive. 

If you're gonna buy German- at least buy a good German car.         

[CALL_911]

The Passat CC is worthless.  Is it a cutrate CLS or an expensive, less functional Passat?

So if the CC is worthless, then the CLS is worthless too?

[the Teuton]

There is no prestige to owning a VW, and for the money I'd rather get an I6 X5 over a V8 Touareg.  If I am spending that kind of money, I could care less if the BMW isn't as well equipped.
