Suzuki Samurai
The Suzuki Samurai fell way short on expectations for buyers in the 1980s. Just like the decade that it came from, it was fast and sporty, but all too dangerous. The four-wheel-drive was nimble and actually outsold the Jeep Wrangler in 1987. That was until people realized that, just like a real ninja, it could break out in a flip without a warning. Once it became known that turning corners at normal speeds could easily become a flip and roll-over, sales plummeted.
