These Are the WORST Selling Cars of 2024 So Far! 

I am surprised that Fiat managed to sell any vehicles at all leave alone how few they sold.

Cars are crazy expensive these days. People don’t want to buy niche vehicles.

Everyone online is screaming for sport cars and hyping up the miata, but nobody is buying them. No wonder car manufacturers don’t care about enthusiasts. It’s impossible to satisfy them and even if they try it’s barely lucrative

I would be curious to know how many the manufacturers were expecting to sell.

#1. Too expensive #2. If you can only have one vehicle, you're not buying a sedan/sports/etc., cars. #3. Sports cars are for those who have $$$ to burn.

I would be interested to hear how many units sold to how many units produced.

I hardly cant afford one car let alone two, would love to have a sports car as number 2 car 😂

Fiat 500 ceased production with an internal combustion engine, only electric ones were supposed to be produced but no one bought it and they had to return to the internal combustion engine...

The economy and the fact dealerships continue to "jack-up" prices impacts coupe sales.

The Z4 is in a weird place on the market. If it was like $50k for a manual I miiiiight consider it. But I just can't justify spending $70k+ for what would be a 2nd car. I'm very happy with my Miata I bought used for

Most young, under 40, buyers are not into driving like us older people. This really hurts sports cars, especially with a manual transmission. EV, and alternate fuel vehicles are hurt by lack of infrastructure. Add to that, the cost of a new car, interest rates and a soft job market, niche vehicle sales will obviously fall.

Uh vehicles cost to much! Car insurance went up. People can't afford things anymore.

Why any manufacture would bring a Hydrogen powered vehicle to market is puzzling, there is no infrastructure to support it and never will be.

People are cutting budgets so they want cars that offer some utility / versatility if they buy anything at all. A lot of these vehicles are sports cars, 2 door 2 usable seats. Unless you have money to burn, or already have other utilitarian vehicles, you are not going to buy one.

The biggest complaint for most owners regarding hydrogen is the cost to fuel em !

I was driving though a small town on a reservation in Montana who happened to have a CDJR dealership. Imagine my surprise when I see they have a Hyundai Nexo sitting up front. I really want to know how it got there. How are they gonna get rid of it? Should I take it for a test drive and see how low I can get the fuel?

Fiat sales make sense. Stellantis is not a good name in the US. They try to hide that at every “Mopar” dealership.

TFL should lease the Leaf for the $19/mo advertised deal in Colorado.

Bunch of overpiced junk these days when ppl make allot less money

I beg to differ that no one want's a sports car. The Corvette has sold 17,914 units so far this year. That's almost 95 cars sold a day. Then there is the Mustang (mustcrap) at 27, 444. Granted probably half of those will be wrecked soon.

Now many can see why Toyota and BMW partnered to develop the new supra and Z4.

The Miraj shouldn’t be on the list as it’s not available in 98% of states

You like the Fiat and said it's great looking? Bahahah

These lists will be more interesting if niche vehicles like Mirai aren't included.

The Fiat 500 was cute when it first came out. Everyone who ever wanted one has one. The MPG was never that great to begin with.

Understandable I would not buy any of those

It times of economic uncertainty niche vehicles just don’t sell very fast or very well. The Z3 and GTR are not only niche but also in the luxury category. Those are among the first things people jettison when they need to try to save money. A look at Barret Jackson or Mechum auctions tells you the same thing. You have collectors unloading special interest cars for the financial gain which is not as much as you’re hoping for. The other factor is dealerships are all still in pandemic pricing mode and are overpricing new and used vehicles. The biggest problem is dealerships don’t have enough of the lower priced more basic versions of their current models on the lot. Somebody might find a 32k Toyota Tacoma a less painful purchase then a 60k fully loaded overlander or SR5 or TRD ( and most dealers overpopulate with SR5s and TRDs). Remember people are going to try to save money with recession fears coming and purchasing a 75 or 80k pickup truck is going to be a tough sell

I would have bought a mirai or nexo but I visited the hydrogen stations in my area and it is almost always over 30$ per kilogram which effectively lowers the mileage you get out of the credit card they give you. I was also actively told not to buy a nexo at my Hyundai dealer to the point where he didn’t even want to take me on a test drive. Besides them Toyota offers the hydrogen credit with used first gen mirais and for their prices it can make sense but I found it was a much better deal just buying a hybrid in the end.

I would buy a sports car if they didn’t have a 20k dealer mark up

The reason Toyota and Hyundai aren't going to build a charging network is because they would lose a ton of money doing it, not just building, but operating them. Hydrogen is expensive to make, compress, and dispense.

Lexus RC is not a sports car. That thing is a GT at best.

Sports cars, niche cars, won’t sell with a tanked economy. Those are toys when things are going well. Alternative fuel cars fall as well in that category because those are status symbols. Most people current status is, cash strapped.

I think true sales bombs are low actual sold : expected sold ratios. Not niche products meant to elevate your brand.

Only vehicle of interest was the GTR. IF I had the $ that is the one I would have purchased. Hydrogen vehicles.. .... worse than EV's.. who would have thought? lol The absurdly high purchase cost of buying something you are next to impossibly going to be able to fuel is insane. What it does however, is makes EV's look a tiny bit more appealing. At least, if you live in your own home, you can plug into the wall socket when the grid is not down. lol

The z4 needs more love ❤️ absolutely fabulous car

It is sad to see sports cars go away. The price of electric cars are ridiculous. Be sure to get one with a lifetime battery. Mine was replaced for free.

U can buy plenty of hydrogen fuel cell cars used for 10% of what they're MSRP is. Toyota everywhere for like 6k. Low miles too.

I actually saw Arco gas station with hydrogen pump today. It read 3kg for $125 or something like that. You do need the fuel credit for that 😅

I traded my BMW Z4 in on a VW Golf R and the Golf is a better car in almost every way. It is more comfortable and more fun to drive. It holds more people and stuff. It is much more reliable! The only thing I miss is the convertible hard top.

RC and Z4 have also been on market for years. So not exactly fresh models. Same with the GTR.

Some reason for like fiat might be to that yes lots of areas have chrysler dodge jeep ram dealers but very few with fiat and most people will go to the closest dealership not drive far away when needing a new vehicle

The automotive market in a nutshell.... Right now, it's cheaper to buy a Mercedes Benz R230 dump $25,000 into it and drive around and laugh at folks. Go ahead and tell me I'm wrong. Or I'll even go further saying go ahead and buy that 2008 BENTLEY for 38k..... dump 22k into it and it's still cheaper than a Honda...

Things like the Lexus RC you can’t find, I doubt they even produced many so low numbers for some of these were likely projected and limited quantities of them available

God that viper has been sitting for 7 years. I wonder how it will hold up over time.

It’s too much money for too sketchy of a car. All we hear is how poorly built cars are and they start at $50k. Even if you have the money who has the time to constantly fix them?

I thought the Hydrogen cars were lease only. Lease only with no buy option at the end. The manufacturer wants them back. I thought. And what States are they sold in? California only or California and Oregon?

During Covid we had a bunch of the hydrogen Toyotas here for sale. But the issue is I’m in New Orleans. Why would Carvana and carmax transfer them here to sell? It’s stupid if you make a car like rhat to charge a ton of money for. Accra you can’t drive. They ended up going to scrapyard.

The Z4 lost it's roaster vibe period. Looks like a drop-top Mercedes Benz.

Sport cars are tanking car sales is tanking because all the manufacturers are reducing there car lineups and adding SUV’s. Most of the vehicles on this are niche vehicles anyways. Better to do cars that sales are down 20% or more YOY

A suggestion: I wouldn't consider any niche vehicles in this segment, as by definition, they are low volume production vehicles. Its more enlightening to show the relative performance of what are intended to be better selling vehicles. A minimum 2000-5000 unit volume, for example, might be the range where a minimum could be set.

Toyota is selling NEW hydrogen cars for $10,000 - an 80% discount The Electric Viking

Thats 941 people making a better choice (RC) than the mindless masses (RX)

Surprised my eclipse cross isn’t on the list

Some cars would sell like cupcakes if the factory had capacity to deliver enough of them. Case in point: Manual Z4 and Manual Supra which are produced in low-volume Austrian Magna factory.

So...when all the more interesting (2 door / convertible / dare I say 4 door sedans) go bye-bye and all we are left with are station wagons and trucks how will we ever move a different choice since none will be available? The "hot seller" will remain the station wagon since nothing else was deemed production worthy. CAFE standards, lack of advertising, lack of interesting product options (black interiors across the board practically), lack of interest by the manufacturer since ultimate sales could not be generated (sales numbers were profitable, just not where the management wanted them to be), and high prices played a role in the sales numbers. One other thing that contributes to lower sales: hardly any stock on the lot for people to see and try out....!

10:06 3B dollars wouldn't even get them off the ground...more like 30B...you dont need tobbuild distribution systems or a supplychain for thr fuel when Tesla built their network...that was someone else's problem...not true whwn you build hydrogen stations - you are responsible for supplying the fuel too

MX5 …. A major redesign is a factor of sales in any car. Everybody wants the latest and greatest .

Fiat? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The RC is kind of an odd duck. V8 with decent power, but it's a heavy boat. Z4 shares the platform with the Supra - neither car would exist without the other 🤷‍♂️

I cannot imagine being a FIAT dealer

New cars are ripoffs. 3-4Yrs used are the best value. So, not in a rush to upgrade my current and already fully paid car. 😂

Two of the largest BMW dealers in Southern California have no Z4's in stock, 1 "in transit." It is an automatic, $74,000 price. I wonder why they are selling so few?

I think the reason sports cars and other cars you mentioned here isn’t selling because most trucks and suvs are so good at everything today and even better in some ways. My truck is as fast as a mustang and rides better can tow more get the groceries and has more room inside. Then theres the price to consider. Not everyone can afford to have a sports car and a truck or suv so they pick one vehicle that can do everything instead of one thing.just my opinion thanks for the videos guys

Due to the high cost of hydrogen it cost $200 to fill a tank.

The lexus RC is too old. It needs to be redesigned.

As mentioned in the comments, most of the cars on your list are just too expensive. I would buy the manual Z4 tomorrow but at 78k with options and not even fully loaded is way too much for this car. If the car was around 50k with the options I wanted instead of 78k. Its a second car for most people and more people would buy especially that it offers a manual but the price is too high.

Cheapest car on this list is over $30,000 and has a range of 50 miles no wonder no one buy these cars

RIP Z4 and sport cars in general

Kase, nice work.

Toyota supra??!

0:49 luxury coupes are being hit particularly hard, and this thing not only didn't have good sales to start with, it's progressively making a worse and worse case for itself.

Was this list/video worth making? 7 non selling cars that for the most part are electric, hydrogen, or a super car?

Lexus RC F is worth it, fewer V8 out there

Why would you buy a Z4 when you could get a Supra?

I wish Hydrogen Power was available in Chicago. I'd take a chance on those before an EV.

New upgrade

Look at the production numbers. They don't build them. They have non on the lot. Or they have a spec no one is interested in.

Would they put Fiat out of its misery in the US already?

The RC is a niche product. Duh!

Buying new unreliable Fiat versus almost any other new or used vehicle. Buy used trouble free Honda or Toyota.

Based on forum comments, the RC coupe might be considered beautiful. But the reality is that it is an ungainly design that has the road presence of a Solara. It's an ugly coupe at a time when coupes aren't popular. BMW Z4... it has received less press than the ugly Toyota Supra. Even though it's based on the same platform and is much better looking. Convertibles aren't popular right now. Acura ZDX... it will continue to be neglected by Acura. A half azzed attempt to offer an EV. The Murai... Exists solely to be an anti-EV red herring. Those interested in alternative vehicles, namely EV's, are not interested in filling their cars with tanks full of stuff anymore. If you want to fill you car with tanks of stuff, get a hybrid. Fiat EV... another half azzed attempt at an EV. It's an expensive and impractical Prada bag. GTR... Old and neglected. At the moment, Nissans aren't cool. No one spending this kind of luxury-level money wants to step foot in a sorry Nissan dealership alongside people buying Altimas and Rogues. Hyundai Nexo... never heard of it.

People will not buy niche or cars serving as a hobby item in very very bad economic climates and high interest rates. The Fiat is just ugly. Tommy should beat up on it's old looks as he does the GTR, being they look the same as they did twenty years ago.

So nice the Z4. Would love that, with a stick. so much fun. 🙂

Acura is just 💩

The Z4 just doesn't look as good as it used to.

500 eis a pos in they won't sell.

Tommy's wearing a wedding band. When did he get married? Who's the lucky gal/guy?

Stop calling SUVs a car what are they a trans car?

The Nissan rogue is a SUV quit, stop calling it a car

The BMW Z4 I can see. That thing looks like nothing and costs a fortune!
